There are 3 different weights given for this product: 4.8, 7.5, and 8 pounds. Which is most accurate?

I would say 7.5lbs, my 88 year old Mom uses it all the time, the only problem is the battery is VERY short lived before you have to charge it again, not even a double garage driveway.

20 lbs must be a typo. 3 lbs would be much more accurate. The unit is about the size of a laptop.

I just weighed it. It wasn't exact science, but according to me it's 2.5, and for sure not 4.

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 .

The weight is accurate. Mislabeling and inaccurate distribution are actually illegal and punishable by law, so most of these companies work really hard to maintain correct packaging and labeling, though I'm sure there is an occasional manufacturing error.

The Zenbook weighs 3.2lbs. I'm not sure where they got the 7.8 number from.

I personally do not use calibration weights as 100% accuracy is not required for the reason I use the scale. That being said, if one requires accuracy, I would think 3 weights would suffice. One each at the low, middle and high points of the expected range of measurement. I hope this helps you.

Mine is 5 lbs 10 oz with lid on and 4 lbs 4 oz with lid off. Conveniently, the lid by itself weights 1 lb 6 oz, so I suppose I have a somewhat accurate, or at least consistent scale.

I do not know the actual, accurate weight, but - it is lightweight. I would think even packaged for shipping it wouldn't be more than 5#.

I just weigh total with Ipad mini 8 oz, my scale is not the most accurate ;)

My husband just put it on the digital scale & it read 7 lbs. He loves this machine & recommends it. I hope this helps.

I believe this is probably a misprint. My scales show it to be 4 lbs. Hope this helps, also the JS660 is the best and strongest B&D; I have used in my 77 years!

It is closer to 3 lbs, not 7.8 pounds. I really like it because of that.--Ravi

I used a tape measure... Weight isn't always accurate; I've found. Build/measurement is more important.

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.

Yes! I actually got on the scale holding it and it was 8 lbs, maybe even just 7.

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.
