does this scale give a precise weight? ie. 5.62 oz or does it round the weight, ie: 5.60 oz? thanks

It scales in one tenth oz but also in whole grams. At 28 grams to the oz the conversion shouldn't be difficult. I often use the gram scale

Hi Jeffery - no this doesn't mesure a fraction of a gram. For grams it will go down to 0. Oz is 0.00. Lb is 0 lb 0.0oz and ML goes down to 0. With that said this is a really nice scale for the $$. Very light weight but sturdy and looks nice. I'm glad I purchased this one. Hope that helps.

It weighs in kilograms or pounds. The only downside to this scale is the fact that it displays the weight in decimal form. Example: 1.5 pounds instead of 1 pound 8 ounces.

Threw it on a bathroom scale...not terribly accurate, but it read 5-6 pounds.

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.

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.

I'd agree with the other reviewers. It seems accurate within the .10 range although it will read out in the hundredths place after that. I've only had it differ by .1 from the USPS by that was for a 1-2 lbs item. My husband needs a scale that can measure the quantity of light items (like rubber bands) via weight and he needs a more accurate scale.

I recently purchased this scale with the intention of weighing small packages to mail. I did test its weighing accuracy with another digital scale, & it was almost the same reading - within 1/10th on an ounce. You can choose the unit of weight. I only used it in lb:oz setting. It does have a fluid oz unit setting. You can weigh your container, then clear the on/tare weight to reset to '0', then add your foods into/onto your container. The display will show the item weight since your last clear. When you are finished, clear the weight, & remove your container from the scale. The total weight including your original container will display briefly. I wrote down the weight of the container, then subtract it from the total. Because I am using the scale to weigh packages, it is hard to see the screen underneath the larger package. Thats why I reset the weight to '0' then remove my package. If you are weighing smaller amounts where the screen is not obstructed, then the weight reading is the weight of the item(s) since the last clear. The scale is durable however, it is not sealed against spills getting underneath the sides. Another thing I have noticed. The scale will turn itself off after no activity in a few seconds. I cannot comment on its life expectancy. So far so good. Judy

It's accurate to a tenth of a pound. It does weigh consistantly, so if you step off and weigh yourself again there isn't a difference, unlike cheaper scales.

I only use the scale on the metric base. But I checked with an item of 15 gramms (which ist equivalant to 1/2 oz) and the weight was correct.

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.

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.

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.

0.2 ounces or 5 grams is the minimum resolution, as well as the minimum weight that it will display. USPS sets their rates rounded up to the nearest ounce below 1 pound, and pounds rounded up over that. If you need a scale that will weigh to the nearest 0.1 ounce or 1 gram, there are plenty of kitchen scales that can do that, but not any that can weigh up to 80 lbs!

I just pulled out my scale to test this. I set an object on it, set the tare weight to zero, then removed the object. The scale reads negative the exact weight of the object. It also reads in pounds & ounces.

The scale will weigh oz. and grams, but I don't see how it will weigh fractions of a gram..

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.
