How is this scale at weighing small amounts under 1/2 oz. Is it still accurate?

I am so happy that I bought this scale. It was recommended by David Lebovitz blog who is a pastry maker in Paris, France. It is also recommeded by Americas Test Kitchen as well.These are two trustworthy sources that I alway check out before purchasing products. You can see them all around their TV kitchen set. You can't go wrong with OXO products. anyway. Yes, the scale measurements are very accurate. Like I said, I love this product., very user friendly. I have previously bought cheap scales and had many problems with them, .....not with this product. I say,"GO FOR IT".

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.

Hmmm . . . . this question wouldn't just happen to be from somebody in DENVER, would it? Seriously, I haven't weighed anything that light, so I can't comment on the scale's accuracy for that purpose.

Hi, Adrian. I never have a need for such a thing but I just tested it for you. I used grains of salt and was able to measure as little as 1/8 oz and 1 gram. I kept adding grains of salt and going back and forth from ounces to grams, and each time it increased by 1/8 oz and 1 gram.

Anything small than an ounce, (28 grams) I generally weigh by grams and find it is accurate enough for my baking purposes.

It does gram accuracy. It shows X.XX oz accuracy on the screen, but I would say it is accurate to the .04-.05 oz, not .01 oz., as 1oz = ~28.3g

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.

It does not require calibration, but it sometimes under-weighs by .1 ounce. I bought a set of 1 oz and 2 oz weights and test it occasionally, especially when I get a reading that is exactly 1, 2, or 3 ounces.

depents on rather oz' s are neccesary. weigh the same piece 4 times pounds are almost acurate 2 out of three times it may say 1lb then 15 oz then 1lb 1oz then 15oz then 1 lb just pick the 2 that match and I can only guess as this was the only scale i had to use. I threw it in my steel scrap bin. I have nothing good to say about it. Sorry

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

It only measures to the tenths place, so 12.5 oz or 1lb 12.2oz not 12.55oz or 1lb 12.25oz. I hope this helps!

It works pretty well. I'm not sure if 1mg accuracy is achievable, but I feel pretty confident about 6mg (0.1 gn). One thing I don't quite like is the included measuring pan (too small for my fingers), but it's light enough for me to put a larger aluminum pan on top of it.Do you have any specific questions ?

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.

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 very accurate! I've used for items as low as 5 or 6 ounces and several pounds

Yes. It's accurate to 0.05 ounces (about 1.5 grams) so really small amounts. I have used it for mail also!

Yes, it displays ounces and even tenths of ounces...so you could actually measure 2.3 ounces. I also love the gram option when I'm making small meatballs that I want to be very similar in weight.

Always best/most accurate to measure by weight. The basic recipe has 14.75oz. My scale rounds that to 14.8 and never had a problem :)

Weighs in ounces - not in fractions but to 2 decimals. It is really a nice scale.

Hello.......It is a very nice scale, however, the minimum scale is .2 lb........Example: .2 - .4 - .6 - .8 - 1lb - 1.2 etc. etc. Hope that helps! Neil

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.
