If the 10lb weight you're using to test the scale is a typical fitness weight (either olympic or standard, doesn't matter), it's highly unlikely to weigh exactly 10lbs. Typcally, the cheaper the weight, the more inaccurate it will be.

I put something on the digital scale and it didn't show anything so i'm assuming it was under 1 lb. It wouldn't even register and I had to ship an item so I was assuming it was under a pound. I paid for the postage at 1 lb and 10 ounces. If it is returned i'm going to be in trouble. Can you tell me what 0.2 lb resolution means?

Jan,The minimum weight for most bathroom scales is around 5 lbs. The best thing you can do with small packages like this is to weigh yourself with the package and then without and subtract the difference.Best,The EatSmart Team

So if I got on a scale and it said i weighed 125.8, is that 125 and a half?
1287138
No, it's 125 and 8/10s, or approximately 125 and 13 ounces (that's the 3 oz = .2 pounds thing). It's actually just over three ounces, because if you divide 16 ounces by 10 you get 1.6 ounces; it counts in 2/10s (.2 of a pound), so each .2 is 3.2 ounces. So .8 is 12.8 ounces, or nearly 13 ounces.

Yes. It does measure in .1 lb increments. I assume it is accurate. It is a slick little scale and I am using it for my weight loss program. I am not a big tech person, but it is fun to have all the additional features.

It does indeed measure to the 1/100th reading (two decimal places). When adding or removing material being weighed, the scale automatically displays the new weight UNLESS the change is less than approximately .04 to .06 grams; when in this area, I tap the scale and it causes the recalculation. In my mind, this would mean the scales accuracy is only good to that point--the point where it automatically recalculates the weight, which on my scale is around .04 to .06 g. even though the display reads to the .01 grams.

It weighs in tenths. For example, 100.2 lbs. There is also a setting on the bottom of the scale to change from lbs to metric weights.

I read the manual specs to be sure and I tested it myself. Definitely reads in 0.2 lb increments.

Not sure what the measured value in lower right represents in normal operations. When I push the pc's button it mirrors the weight values but only in whole numbers while the main display is down to hundredths of a gram

If you are seeing fractions (e.g. 1/2 or 3/8) it's because you are probably using the pound or lb function. It does not tell weight in decimal form (for example 3.4g).

The scale is decimal in both kg and pounds: it displays two decimal digits, in increments of 0.2 lbs or 0.1 kg (100 grams). If, for example, a person weighs 200.4 lbs the scale will display 200.40, and will continue to show this number until the weight reaches 200.6 at which point the displays jumps to 200.60

It purports to read out in hundredths of a pound, but I can tell you that when you put less than a pound on the scale it doesn't register at all. I was trying to measure something I knew to weigh several ounces, and it still read "0.00". That leads me to conclude that any numbers to the right of the decimal on this scale really aren't reliable, because it simply is not that precise.

it's around 20oz +- a couple oz. I think it's labeled .5 liter which would put it under 20 oz. The last(top) graduation says 18oz and that is about a 1/4" from the top.

I used one item as a weight and changed the four different methods of weighing. The results:Weighs in lbs:oz (example: 0: 14.8 = 0 lb. 14.8 oz)Also weighs in lbs. (example: 0.92 = same as above)Also weighs in kilograms (example: 0.450kg)Also weighs in grams (example: 450g)Hope this answers your questions.

It will display ounces, but not break it down into pounds. Therefore, 2.1 lbs will be shown as 33 oz.

Hi Amy, It may have been a typo you read? It should say one as in quanity..1 roast that is a 5 lbs. That is how we read it and exactly what we received which by the way was AWESOME!!!!! :) Hope this helps and hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Should also be able to inquire through the Co. where it originates from also. Good luck to you.

I just did a test with a lb of butter. If you have it set to oz it will remain on oz and give you a reading in oz (16 oz) You would have to switch the units into pounds to get it to register in lbs. I am loving this scale. I have even tested it on products that list serving portions weight and it is right on the button! What I love is being able to figure calories by weighing in grams and then multiplying by a "calorie factor" listed in the booklet. You can truly monitor your calorie intake doing this. Your reading will depend on where you have set the units of measurement. If you have set them at oz. they will read in oz. (even over one pound). To find the measurement in pounds you would have to set the units to pounds. It DOES NOT switch from ounces to pounds when you hit the one pound mark ... it will read 16 oz. Hope this clarifies.

Hi. The scale measures in 0.1g increments, up to 2000g (2kg). I've seen it used in several high-end, high-volume coffee shops, so that's a good endorsement. The 0.1g precision is essential when measuring coffee for espresso.

I just checked mine and on the ounce display the item I was weighing showed 0 pounds 2 1/4 ounces. It is a great scale and I too use it everyday. Hope this helps.
