can this scale read out be set to pounds

Yes, absolutely. The scale can be switched between kilograms and pounds, quite easily.

The scale is decimal in both kg and pounds: it displays two decimal digits, in increments of 0.2 lbs or 0.1 kg (100 grams). If, for example, a person weighs 200.4 lbs the scale will display 200.40, and will continue to show this number until the weight reaches 200.6 at which point the displays jumps to 200.60

To be honest with you I don't recall.. I can't imagine that it does not, but I was not satisfied w/the results in pounds (when compared to other scales I had) so I returned it for lack of accuracy. The lack of accuracy would have reflected both in pounds and kilograms so the issue was moot to me. I highly recommend that you read all reviews before deciding to buy this product!

It will only display in pounds. You will need to do a little math to convert to oz.

Yes, there is a switch on the bottom of the scale that changes between lbs and kgs

I've never tried it, but have you checked with the USPS to see if they have any calibration weights on site? I'm sure their scales, like all scales, have to be calibrated regularly. You could take it to them and see what they say. I live in a rural area and the local branch is never very busy, so I'm sure they would help me. A busier location may not be as helpful.

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.

Hello Rebecca,Your answer is no, unfortunately. It's only in pounds. You need to convert the fraction of the pound to ounces if you need it. But it is a quality scale, otherwise.Phil.

The weight number doesn't lock; you can add & subtract food items and the total will adjust. Be aware that the weight displays in kg you'll have to convert to lbs. if that's what you 're looking for. Hope that helps.

Yes, it can be set to display either KGS or LBS. For kilograms the increment value is 0.005.

There is a hold weight function, if you set the scale on the edge of a counter you can reach under the box push the hold button and remove the box to see the weight. The scale pad also sits high enough that if you are level with the scale you can easily read the display.

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.

Yes it can be re-calibrated if necessary. When I do it the scaleasks for a 1000.0 g weight. I don't have any so I just check itwith the smaller weight set I have. You can buy the weighton ebay for 17 USD or so. Wish they stated this in the productdescription.Good luck.Joe

Do not depend on this scale. It is not accurate and you could end up paying overweight charges. I wanted to return it but by the time I was ready to use it for travel it was past the date allowed for returns.

Yep. The readout is placed so it can easily be read. THere's also a function that freezes the readout so you can weigh the box, remove it, and then see the weight. You could do a loit worse than this scale. Best,JRD

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.

Though I have not tried that, I am going to guess no. I believe that the total capacity of this scale is 15 lbs, so when you place an object on the scale and then press the button for the tare feature, all the scale has done is reset the readout to zero...but it is still registering the weight of the container because it is still carrying the weight of the container. In other words, if you need a scale that will handle more than 15 lbs including the container, go ahead and buy one that will handle more weight.
