Does this scale measure in tenths of a pound and is it accurate with weights below 20 pounds?

it is digital and does measure decimal points of weight, not sure on really extreemly light weights but we use it to weigh fish as low as 4-5lb and it seems to work ok.

When I used mine, it was accurate in any object above 3 ounces, as I didn't really need to weigh anything that was less than 3 ounces. I didn't have any issues with accuracy, my only issue was with it dying after a period of time with very light use.

Just to be clear, tho the scale CAN be accurate to hundreths of a Pound . . . It will not read out in pound hundreths DIRECTLY if that is what you want. To get that accuracy, you have to read the weight in Ounce or Grams units.

This scale measures 4 pounds more than my old dial scale too. That does not concern me at all because it is very accurate otherwise.

It only measures to the tenths place, so 12.5 oz or 1lb 12.2oz not 12.55oz or 1lb 12.25oz. I hope this helps!

Yes, this scale can measure down to tenths of an ounce and up to 11 pounds, ensuring that the measured weight is accurate enough for calculating postage for shipping or ingredients for cooking.

Dino: I just weighed the UL20a on my digital scale. It came out as 3.4 pounds. Given that there is a possibility that the scale is not 100 percent precise, I'd say the manufacturer's quoted weight listing (3.3 pounds) is accurate. Diplomacy and collegiality among Amazon customers dictates that I not comment on your age or physical capabilities.:-)Mitch

Yes. It measures in 1/10 of an ounce increments. Nice scale. Very accurate.

The short answer is "yes." You simply put the measuring container (plate, cup, jar, whatever) on the scale and press the On/Off button. It immediately zeros the scale. You can then add the item to be weighed to the measuring container and the readout will display the weight of that item without having to subtract the weight of the container. Easy peasy! Apparently not everyone is aware of the tare function of this device -- hence some of the confusing answers.

scale will measure accurately to less than 1/10 mg. as scale is sensitive do not use in drafty areas.

It appears to be accurate and to hold the zero. As with any scale, be gentle placing the loaded tray back on the scale.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

It can measure accurately. However, the displayed number can disappear in the middle of weighing. The display often goes "blank", so you have to re do the weighing. If you weigh more than one item and try to add another, you will lose count if the display goes blank. If you only weigh one item, you can just reweigh that particular item. I hope this helps.

I don't know that it would be accurate enough for a postal scale, depends on how small. I'd look for a food scale that goes up to the lbs you need but that will do ounces for small packages. Most bathroom scales are not accurate under like 20-30 lbs.

Yes it does. Is it accurate though.. I have no idea but as long as you stand on it after it reads your weight for a few seconds it will show you all of that info. It is a very nice scale it just takes a few times to get the accurate weight.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

Yes. It measure in kilograms and pounds. Here's the capacity: 2kg/4.4lb and the sensitivity is 1g/0.1oz meaning that's the least amount it will register. There is a button on the scale that allows you to switch between lbs and kgs. It works great. I have had it for more than a year and use it every day. Hope this helps.
