How consistent is this scale at measuring small weights? What would it read if a 10 g weight is on the scale and its weight is determined five times?

This scale is pretty consistent at measuring small weights. I took a 10g weight and weighed it 5 times (as per your question) and got the same result, 10g each time. This scale is quite sensitive though, a breath or even a draft of air can make it fluctuate and give an incorrect reading, it also needs to be on a flat, solid surface for optimum performance.

it is adjustable metric to standard ... I prefer standard lb,s ounce's and measurement accuracy is ounces, no lower scale ... hope this helps. fyi I have been happy with my scale

You turn the button on/ off, have it on then you choose press Unit for gram or press again for kg,press again for OZ, wait until the screen appear all 0.00 before you place your item on the scale,other wise it wouldn't work. This scale weight up to 5 kg. Check battery once a while.

The scale auto-calibrates when it is picked up, moved or changed batteries so it adds 8+ pounds for the first weight. You just have to step off, and step back on and it will show your true weight.

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.

I have not had this problem with this scale, check batteries and I would ask if you are sure you are on the lb and ounce measurement setting not grams, etc. Also if it had any water poured on it accidentally I had to replace previous scale after I spilled liquid on it.

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.

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.

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.

It's accurate to the nearest gram as best I can tell. If you are measuring chemicals and doing stoichiometry and it needs to be very precise, I wouldn't recommend a scale like this because it's more intended for quick measurements. For chemistry you'll probably want one of those scales with a hood.

On the grams setting, the scale reads to 2 decimal places: i.e. it will read 0.43 gms but it will not read 0.436 gms. I do not have a way to determine if it rounds up or down in the 3rd decimal place. Hope this helps!

Yes. It does measure in .1 lb increments. I assume it is accurate. It is a slick little scale and I am using it for my weight loss program. I am not a big tech person, but it is fun to have all the additional features.

As far as I can tell, very accurate and consistent. The scale is very sensitive to minor changes such as removing a watch.I weigh on a very regular basis and compare the weight I get on my scale to the digital scale at one doctor's office as well as another office with manual scales. (I always take notice if the scale is balanced at o before I weigh on the manual scale.). For those of us who are weight conscious this scale is a godsend.

The instructions say it needs to recalibrate. That may be a hassle. But it is a good scale.

you need to calibrate with something if you want to have a scale that measures properly; 1 of the 3 scales i've bought similar to this weighed accurately from the factory; one was 1.5% off the other was 3-4% off. I was able to calibrate one of my scales using 100ml and 200ml of water; however i was able to use a scale I knew was accurate to measure that water (since it really was maybe 95ml water and 5g of plastic cup). the nickel =5g does work pretty well but it would take 100 to get 500g; i've seen a batch of nickels off quite a lot but on average in my tests they come out very close to 5.0g (example 7 nickels should be 35g and was 33.5g but by the time I got to 10 it was 49.8g or 50.1g for example). You can get a few rolls of nickels or you can just buy a 500g weight for about the same price.

If the 10lb weight you're using to test the scale is a typical fitness weight (either olympic or standard, doesn't matter), it's highly unlikely to weigh exactly 10lbs. Typcally, the cheaper the weight, the more inaccurate it will be.

It only takes a few seconds once on the scale. It seems it doesn't start calculating weight until it can detect that there is no longer a change a weight distribution as you move from floor to scale (I experimented a little for this question). I hope this helps.
