Someone reported that this scale will read 7.6 oz but it won't read 10.6 it will only show as 10. Could anyone confirm this ? Thank you.

Yes it is true but, It does decimal mode for pounds to the hundredth place so you just multiply the numbers to the right by 16 and you have your fraction of an ounce. It also does Grams and kilograms- This is perfect for my inventory control system - I need all ounces or all pounds by decimal - easier to enter as opposed to two fields - one with pounds and one with ounces. I am more than happy to have that. I already wrote a program that has the two fields but they accept decimals so its all cool. The code behind those fields turns everything into ounces for all the math. and then extracts it as decimal of pounds..

I just checked mine. The info you got was correct. There are only 2 digits for ounces so when you get to 10 thru 15 it reads in whole ounces only. This should not matter if your using in for postage.

Yes it will, its very accurate. That is an odd claim for someone to make lol. great scale I love mine.

Yes. That is correct. I tested it tonight at your request. I placed three objects on the scale that all together weigh 10.00 oz. Then I added an object that weighs .6 oz. The display read 10 oz. Never did it read 10.6 oz. The same result whether the additional weight was .5, .4, .3, .2, or .8 oz. When I added a full ounce, then the display changed to 11 oz. I hope that answers your question.

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.

Weighs in ounces - not in fractions but to 2 decimals. It is really a nice scale.

The scale as far as I can evaluate does not. The scale has some other measuring features but not that. Also I find that when I use the scalefor a 1g measure, sometimes the scale shows 0 but when I pull romaine off the scale reads -1g......go figure. A rare glitch for my purchase?The strange thing is that I experienced that -1g effect with the previous scale I had from amazon, which this scale had replaced.

It should be easy to calibrate (and never assume any measuring device is "factory calibrated"!). Just put an empty container on the scale, press the tare button. Scale should now read 0. Pour a cup of water and the weight should be 8.3 oz.

I tested the scale with 1 sheet of 8.5x11 of paper. It did not show any measurement. With two sheets it read .006kg and .2oz, with three sheets .0010kg and .3 oz, hope that helps. The scale will calibrate and zero itself every time you turn it on. I'm happy with my purchase. I measure letters and packages on it.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, however I already own a set of scales (have had for years) which measure in fluid ounces and was seeking to replace it as the buttons have become worn. It is the Salter 3003 Aquatronic Glass Electronic Kitchen Scale. I decided in the end to replace like with like. I understand what you are saying about weight / volume, but this scale seems to be able to do it at least good enough for cooking purposes, though I couldn't vouch for their accuracy. Thanks again though.

I did not have to calibrate it but I can only speak for myself. I use it to ship out first class items or 1-3 pound items. When I get a reading of 4.5 ounces, I send out package at 5 ounces. I've never had an item weigh too much. Hope that helps.

It will only display in pounds. You will need to do a little math to convert to oz.

Yes, this scale does show the ounces. It is accurate, however since we use it in our Shipping/Receiving department primarily for UPS and FX shipments and not US Mail packages, I would not be able to respond to your second question.

depents on rather oz' s are neccesary. weigh the same piece 4 times pounds are almost acurate 2 out of three times it may say 1lb then 15 oz then 1lb 1oz then 15oz then 1 lb just pick the 2 that match and I can only guess as this was the only scale i had to use. I threw it in my steel scrap bin. I have nothing good to say about it. Sorry

Possibly because the 6 ounces is a volume measurement (fluid ounces, like a measuring cup), and and the 7.2 oz is a weight measurement (as in pounds and ounces). They wouldn't necessarily be the same; it depends on the substance being measured.

I just tested my scale with gram & ounce weights and it will not show a weight. If you want to weigh items that light I woul recommend a small scale available on Amazon. I have the "My Weigh Triton T2 550g x 0.1g Digital Pocket Scale" works fantastic.

I believe it only weighs to one decimal place, e.g. 1.2 oz. I hope this helps. I might add that it is a great little scale. I use it all the time to mail packages.

Hello Rebecca,Your answer is no, unfortunately. It's only in pounds. You need to convert the fraction of the pound to ounces if you need it. But it is a quality scale, otherwise.Phil.

If I weigh something over 16 oz and it's on the "oz" it will still register in "oz".... 16.08 for example. If I weigh the same thing I would have to move it to "lb" to register it in "lbs" and then will register 1.008. Hope I explained it Ok.

Good question! I never really tried anything lower than an ounce, but I wanted to help you out so I took out the scale and put just a piece of paper on it and it did show .1 oz. I love this scale and it is very accurate. Matches the post office scale. Highly recommend it!
