Not sure about 1lbs but I wanted to test the accuracy and placed a 15lb weight and it read 15lbs. You need activate it first by stepping on it, then place the weight on the scale and it should read it.

You press the button and it goes to zero. If you are using another container other than the bowl that comes with it, after setting the container on the scale you press the button to zero and then the only thing weighed is the contents.

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.

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.

No, but I simply put large packages on it and wait 5 seconds, short count, then the weight locks in for a bit. Remove the package and you can see the weight. I absolutely recommend this scale!

I keep pressing the button underneath, and I have no idea why one method of measuring weight comes up and not another. However, I can use any of them easily, so it's not a problem to me. I suggest you contact the company and perhaps the mystery of why you can only get that one will be solved. Aside from the fact that I don't control the weight indicator, I love this scale. I can easily pack it in and I weigh my food on the plate I'm going to use eating. It's really ingenious. I enjoy it.

I noticed the discrepancy of weight as well when I ordered it. Certainly, it is more than one pound... Reality is that it feels less than fifteen pounds. I don't own a precision scale so I'll say 15.

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.

Yes you can place a large box on it and see the display. Whats great about this scale is that after you place your item on it, wait a couple of seconds, then all you have to do is press the hold button. You can then remove the box and the correct weight will display for about 5 to 8 seconds after.

this scale read only in lbs I don't think you can get ouncesbut you can convert the lb weight to a ounce one lb equal to 16 ounceit is very good scale and read up to two digits like 5.75 ,2.66, any weight you get can be converted to ouncesthanks manzoor ahmed

According to the manual, the scale will weigh up to 60 pounds ( 27 kilos). As for minimum weight, probably 1 pound. It does measure fractions of a pound as well. As for sensibility, it is not going to be fine tuned. If you are looking at anything more accurate that probably 1/10 of a pound, this would not be your scale. It does fine for our kitties which weigh from 11 pounds to 18 pounds.

yes you can set it to ounces, and it stays on its last setting when it shuts off. I haven't personally tried pushing it past 11 lbs which is the limit it states, but i've gone as high as 10 lbs 5 ozs on it. and it read the same as the scale at the post office. I can't imagine it working much past it's stated limit though. but i've never tried so..i can't say honestly. But its a good scale. Its light and easy to store away as its small. Something you can put in a desk drawer.

If your letter, or package is weighing in ounces, you will be fine. The scale will give you an output of 1.2oz or .9oz or 2.7oz or whatever the weight may be. The only issure you will have is if the item weighs less than .1oz (1/10 of an ounce) .1 is the lowest measurement of this scale. So if your item is less than .1 oz, then your scale will read either .1 or 0.0. Any weight of .1 oz to 55.0.0 LBS this scale will weigh without problem. I hope this helps.

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

When the scale is in the ounces only mode, yes. When it's in the pounds plus ounces mode, I get one place holder for ounces. So I agree with O.M.Holmberg who commented on 17 Feb 2013.This scale is very useful & attractive enough to leave out on the sideboard. I use it for weighing out portions of food I plan to eat.

Yes there is only 1.8 lbs. It is a complete rip off. I accidentally didn't look at the size of the product when I ordered, just the picture. And I couldn't return it either. You can buy it anywhere else for much cheaper.
