Are there any scales like these small digital ones that weigh up to more than 1000 grams, even like 3 lbs? This size is the highest weight capacity I can seem to find. I keep searching but if anyone knows please tell me.

Hello the scale that could work is AMW SC-2kg scale it goes up to ( 4.4 lb ) x 0.1g increments. Here it is where you can find it

Thanks again John, you have been very helpful! After a lot of research (mine and yours), I have realized that my (US) scale will probably never display metric. Thus, I have just returned it and will order the HBF-500. Thanks again for your help.

This is a common issue with digital electronic meters and digital anything. Say you have a clock that is accurate...it keeps perfect time. If your digital clock says it is 6:05 it could actually be anywhere between 6:05:00 and 6:05:59...the clock display has only one minute resolution. Which is fine if you are using it to avoid being late for work, but probably not good enough if you are trying to time a 13 second photographic exposure. For that you need something with better resolution. 0.2 lbs (~3 oz) is the resolution of this scale. The scale can display only .2 lb increments. 10.2 lbs means that if the scale were perfect, the actual weight would be somewhere between 10.10 and 10.30 pounds. (less it would read 10.0, more it would read 10.4) In truth most digital devices are only accurate to plus or minus one resolution step....IF your test weight is really exactly 10.000 lbs, then I would say the scale is working right if read 9.8 or 10.0, or 10.2 lbs. BUT, if you are using a 10# exercise weight then I wouldn't count on it being within better than 1/2 lb. If you really care, then there is probably an office of weights and measures locally that checks supermarket scales, gas pumps, etc that could check it with a traceable standard weight. TLDR version; 10.2 is a good result. It does NOT mean your scale is 2% off. Most likely if you had a 100# test weight it would read 99.8 or 100, or 100.2. It would also be perfectly normal for you to sometimes see readings +/- .2 lbs different each time you weigh yourself....If you weighed exactly 180.100000 lbs, then 180.0 and 180.2 are just as close to being correct, and depending on if you inhale or exhale you could see one or the other. Given that peoples weight fluctuates over more than a pound during a day, this resolution is more than adequate for keeping tabs on your weight.

I only use this scale at my farmers market to weigh produce. I believe you have to get a special scale to get what you want as far as calibration. I know there out there. I would google scales with calibration and that should take you to a company, but expect to spend quite a bit.

The aria scale has a maximum weight capacity of 350 pounds. It is very accurate and a real help in guiding your weight loss or just maintaining weight.

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

Hi, I had shipped the scale back the same day it arrived 'cause the digital display was not working properly (the lines were incomplete and so I couldn't make out the numbers). I don't recall if it had both grams and ounces. I purchased a Kamenstein brand, model #5105597, which is very sturdy and can weigh up to 11 lbs / 5Kg and love it.

I have had my scale for a year. I really like it and have not had any issues. My husband weighs around 320 lbs. and it is the only scale we have had that actually seems to weigh him acurately time and time again. I have not used all the other programs for several months, however when I was I was happy with those too.

The maximum capacity for this scale is roughly around 15 pounds, not 5. It can handle a little more than 15 though.

I do not have my jeweler's scale with me. I used an electronic kitchen scale perhaps of +/- 0.05 oz error. The camera, lens cap and a 64 GB chip weigh aprox 1.4 Oz. The horizontal camera mount that comes with it, weighs aprox. 0.4 oz. For a total of 1.8 oz. My battery is dead, but I am sure this error is very small :)Enjoy.

The scales are kinda sensitive & it depends on the size of your feet. For travel, just keep in mind it will vary by about 1.5 pounds. At home, I keep the scales in one place and stand on them on the middle of my feet. They are great but really best to see weight variations & total lost. Go to the doctor or get scales that are not digital if you're after a more exact weight.

Yes the counter weights are for use if your weight exceeds the capacity of the unit which is 300/400 lbs.This is an extremely accurate scale, beats the best digital 'stand on' scale I've ever used.

Hi, yes the scales still work as normal scales, iPhone not needed for basic weighing but needed for keeping track of your results. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem. I cannot figure out why, I don't even sync it to the app. I can get on it and get a weight that is about 2 to 3 lbs higher than what I get after 2 or 3 times on the scale. The reason I noticed is that the weight seemed off so I weighed myself on other scales I have and all of them read about 3 lbs less than this one. ??? I will email the company and see what gives. Good Luck.

I'm pretty sure there's no way to recalibrate it. If there is, it isn't mentioned in the manual. Basically, Escali is saying that some of their scales have a calibration feature (I don't think this model does though). For the scales without a calibration feature, you could buy a reference weight to see how accurate the scale is (that's a weight that is guaranteed to weigh a certain amount, within a specified tolerance), but after you figured that out, there's no way to calibrate the scale to correct for the discrepancy. (For the record, mine has been plenty accurate for anything I've used it for. I haven't used a reference weight to check its accuracy or anything, but I haven't ran into any recipes that needed a super-high degree of accuracy anyway.)

Hi. I already shipped the scale back to Amazon due to the defective digital display. From my recollection, the platform is very small, about 6 inch x 6 inch. Though the scale is rated to weigh items up to 75 lbs, I personally don't think its construction is sturdy enough to weigh large-size items. I hope that helps..
