Seems to be working great with good calibration or only .01 gram off.

The 5 KG and small footprint make this a perfect kitchen scale for heavier items. Often I am dealing with things over what my little kitchen scales can handle - for things we get in bulk - flour, vitamins, etc.This takes up under 10 inches width of space and the metal surface works very well for both precision (measuring out capsules) and measuring out large containers of flour that I can seal and know that I have the exact right amount.I can also reverse the way I measure things out - putting the larger container on the scale and subtracting into multiple portions instead of putting a series of portion targets on the scale one at a time.I do not doubt that it is very accurate, but for my normal kitchen life it's about a factor of 10 stronger than I need. If I'm off by 1/10 of a gram everything is fine. Vegan vitamin capsules I'm playing with are pretty forgiving, and for coffee and tea, I could be off by much more and never notice.In any case, it's fast, accurate, super easy to use and in a pinch I could weigh any but the fattest cat in the house. The benefit for me is a scale that can handle heavier loads and still be more accurate than I need - more accurate than my old lower max weight kitchen scales. I can't imagine a case where I will need the same accuracy above the 5Kg max - but I have been dealing with the max weight limit on my old scales every week almost for forever. That problem is now solved.So the final question is - is the price right? In the kitchen, I have spent over $50 on coffee scale, but I've also found some pretty snazzy computerized "smart" kitchen scales with even bluetooth that can send to diet apps and so forth for under $50 (though also more) and some of those have pretty high max weight capacity. I'm leaning toward this scale being overkill for most people in the kitchen, even if making your own vitamins and supplements. But only by a little, and as rugged as it is, I don't think I'll need another.

I got this scale because I need to measure plant fertilizers accurately to protect the work growing small numbers of food sources in this very harsh climate of desert life. These sunburn days are extremely difficult for growing productive food crops. It is important maximize the growing potentials of both the sand and the water to sustain the best possibilities for what actually grows. MTR

Scale was off by 1 g when I first got it now it’s off by 10 g and I cannot recalibrate. I was fine with one gram off and could work with it but now that it’s 10 g off and I can’t recalibrate correctly. I’m in the market for a new scale. Also very slow to settle on accurate weight and if you left a weight on the scale for more than a couple minutes it would slowly decrease the amount. Makes it hard to work with.

This is an AWESOME scale. It's also my first kitchen scale to maybe I'm very impressionable. It can accurately read weights down to .01 grams. Thats probaby MORE than enough for anyone who is calorie counting or measuring anything tha requires tolerances within 1/10 of a gram since this goes to 1/100 of a gram. I kept the units in grams as oppossed to pounds since grams makes much more sense when measuring weights as low as what this was designed for.I've attached a review where I weigh items as small as a 1/4" label (as light as a piece of tape) and as large as a typical water bottle. It seems to accurately measure everything. If you need to be SUPER precise about water you're putting into a solution, this can measure for you. I was able to measure 4 different water bottle and see that all 4 had different amounts of water. They were rated for 500ml, but they ranged from 507ml to 510ml which means that all four bottles exceeded their listed volume of 500ml.I have ZERO issues with this scale. Its sensitive enough to measure the weight of a feather. It's so sensitive that if you simply BLOW on this, you can measure the downward force of your breath. The feet are easily adjustable so that you can make sure there is no wobble and fits flat on any surface to ensure accurate readings. I used this right out of the box and still havent looked at any directions as its just really easy to use. I cant comment on price (and value for your money) since I got this through the Vine program and didnt do any research on the price of competing products. What I can say is that I'm impressed with this one. 5 stars all the way.I've attached a video so you can see this little gem in action. I hope this review was helpful.
