How accurate is the scale? What is the smallest detectable change in mass that this will display?

It reliably accurate. Much more accurate than the one my vet uses. reads changes in lbs/oz example 80 lbs 4 oz. Also in metric I don't use metric so I not familiar with the exact units for example kg versus some other unit.

Well I use the scale to weigh my dogs. It gives me the same weight the vets scale does. When I put a five item on it to see how accurate it was, it weighed it at 5lbs.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

Is the scale level? If on a carpet, it may not be accurate. Try a hard surface.

There is a simple slide switch on the top underside of the scale that changes the settings from kgs to lbs & vice versa. Hopes this info answers your question.

Less than a pound. I can't give anything more accurate than that, I just used a bathroom scale, so that is as precise as I can do.

Mine was pretty well calibrated (within .02g for the 500g weight). It really depends on how accurate you want it to be. It is not "self calibrating". A set of calibration weights will help keep your scale as accurate as it can be.

On the backside of the scale you'll see a small button. Simply depress and hold the button while viewing the display until the units of measure change.

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.

Another person reported this about an ERR message"The scale kept showing ERR when it arrived and I had put the batteries in it. I changed it from lbs to kgs and back to lbs. That cleared the problem and works great now. Easy to see display and auto shutoff is great." Make sure it is on a flat and level surface -- no rugs, carpets, or maps. Note that the scale may not weigh very light things under 10 or 15 pounds.

Hi Rafael----Scale gives the total weight and below that is the individual readout of the components. BUT the thing they don't tell you is that you have to moisten the bottoms of your feet before stepping on the scale so as to get correct contact with the silver step area ( the 4 circles you see in each corner) and therefore accurate info. While I like the scale, this is a real nuisance every morning. Sandy

There is a small know like thing next to the battery. If you switch it the scale should be updated to KG.

From my experience, it doesn't matter how many times you move the scale. You will always get the same result. It's been an excellent scale!

There's no way. It's supposed to be auto calibrated. Mine was always off by 20 to 30 pounds. Never the same amount, though. Worst scale ever.

No, it won't. As soon as you remove the weight, the numbers are gone. The scale is still "on", but without any number.

yes. This scale display in kilograms and in pounds. There is a switch on a back for it.

The scale does not do well with small changes in weight. If you were to trickle you would need to tap the scale to give it a couple of grains of change before it will register a new value. I am not sure if its a sensitivity issue or I was just impatient with waiting for the screen to update. If you trickle you would need to lift the measuring pan up and set it back down again after you toss a little powder.

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.
