ACCUTECKACCUTECK All-in-1 Series W-8250-50bs A-Pt 50 Digital Shipping Postal Scale with Ac Adapter, Silver

I am doing my Swedish Death Cleaning with Posh Mark and my husband encouraged me to buy a scale to weigh my products instead of using the bathroom scale! (How did I think that was a good idea. Hop on, hop off, then hop on with the item I am selling, hop off.)This scale is, of course, much more accurate and so easy. I am selling a lot of glass inherited and bought over the years, so this little scale is very helpful.So far this is a good product for a good, reasonable price.

As someone who just got into selling and shipping items, this scale has been great for everything I've sold so far. It's accurate, easy to use, and I haven't had any problems with it so far (I'll update if anything changes!). Build quality seems good too, and it fits very nicely in my room. Overall, great product.

Great product! Very light and easy to use, definitely I love it!

This scale is pretty accurate for what I need it for. I do a good amount of shipping and I would love to save money on not having to overestimate the packages I am sending. With this I am actually able to weigh out the package EXTREMELY accurately. All the packages I shipped out, it was always exactly what was weighed at the post office. It was never off which is perfect. The one thing I will say is to make sure you remove that styrofoam piece between the tray and the actual scale. I actually kept those as I keep the scale in storage and it keeps the scale from breaking. The tray has a nice feature in that you can lift the top to have something to lean on in case the package is not flat. Be aware that the actual piece is just a simple plastic piece. It can handle some weight but not a ton. The hinge is a bit on the flimsy side. The total max weight it can take is 50 pounds. That being said, it is not the most ideal scale for traveling. It also does not freeze the weight so you cannot have something that covers the scale screen or else you cannot read it. Even at an angle, you are unable to read it as the coloring is off. The screen is LCD and is a bit prone to scratches so be careful. At least this is able to read to the nearest tenth of a ounce and a full pound. I actually like the ounces part as I am able to measure my card sales and such very accurately. You can also use this for light packaging (card sales). It gives you a pretty accurate reading which is great. It is battery powered and it does come with the batteries needed to power it. It also can use the wall plug (also provided) so you do not have to use the battery if needed. How long it last will depend on the batteries you use it from what I can tell. I usually go towards rechargeable battery so I never had to throw out any batteries. That being said, it most likely will not use too much battery power and could last even several months before the batteries died. You can also opt to use the power plug which will ensure you do not use any battery. Please note that it will not recharge any rechargeable inside that scale. I did test the batteries provided and they were all good so that is a good sign. The scale can handle up to 50 lb and you can zero the scale out easily. I recommend doing it every time you weight it. The reason being is that every time I take something off the scale, it tends to shift to negative weight. It does not hinder the accuracy if you zero it out though. The data is actually pretty accurate and I have not seen it miss weigh any package so far. There is pretty good grip on the bottom and for the best results use this on a flat solid surface and you do not have to worry about it sliding off. Do not use this on carpet as it causes the weight to be off. Other than that, I am very happy with this scale. It is accurate and allows you to get a very accurate weight. For me, it really helps me not have to over estimate my package weight and saves me money in the long run especially when it comes to the USPS first class package. Just an simple ounce can cost me a dollar more so no more of that. The only issue I have is the tray part that opens is a bit on the flimsy side. I am not entirely sure it can hold up to 50 lb on that attachment so be careful. It is a nice thing to have though if you happen to have something that is not flat. It does not hinder the weight measurement at all.

One of the first things you learn about selling online, is that shipping companies, like the USPS, require precise weight measurements, otherwise they throw a fit. The cost of shipping goes by weight and distance to be shipped, so they want it to be accurate. You don't want to get overcharged on shipping, so its best to get it right the first time.I saw commercial scales that cost well into the hundreds, but I am not a big company, so I don't need one of those. I saw this nifty little unit for around 17 dollars, now selling for 19 dollars at the time of this review. I also saw mostly all positive reviews for this unit, so I thought what the heck, why not give it a try. One of the biggest selling points for this scale, is while it can use batteries, and comes with some included, it can be wall powered as well.This is a major plus for me, as I don't intend on going through batteries, just to make a battery manufacture richer off my back. I also like the fact that the unit has a LARGE and LIGHTED display, that is another major plus! I find it is quite easy to read, and I don't have any issues with it. All the controls are pretty self explanatory, but I will go over them to be thorough.On the left side of the unit, is the measurement mode selection, depending on what type of measurement you need, you select it there. On the top left of the unit, is the ON/OFF button. On the top right of the unit, you have the ZERO button, for zeroing pit the display. And on the right side of the unit, you have the HOLD button, which holds the measurement value, after you have removed the item you are weighing, off the scale, which is helpful for when weighing oversized packages.For this review, I measured a gallon of distilled water, measures to 8 pounds 8 ounces, WOW, their filler machines must be as accurate as this scale, I'm impressed. Then I measured 2 quarts or 90 ounces of a popular dish detergent, which I blurred out the name for copyright reasons, and it measured out to 6 pounds and 4.2 ounces. As you can see, this scale works out well! The top half of the scale can open up like a lid, to hold oddball objects as well.One of the issues that I've noticed from many negative reviews, just in general, for weight scales sold on Amazon, is that many people appear, to not understand the accuracy of the scales, as per their weight capacities. If you buy a kitchen scale that is rated for grams and ounces, its only going to be accurate up to a few pounds. If you buy this scale that is rated for 50-pounds max capacity, its only really going to be accurate between a few ounces, up to that 50-pounds.I saw a review for a 440 pound weight scale, and the guy gave it a huge negative review, because he was bothered by the fact, it couldn't be accurate to weigh things that are only a few ounces. Its like dude, the scale was rated for 440 pounds max capacity, which means that its accuracy, probably only begins to be accurate around the 50 pound mark. So the point I am trying to make is, know the type of items that you are going to be weighing, then buy the scale that will be the most accurate for those weights.I have had no issues with this scale whatsoever, and I highly recommend it. 5 out of 5 stars!
