How accurate is this scale in the 1-13 ounce range

When I used mine, it was accurate in any object above 3 ounces, as I didn't really need to weigh anything that was less than 3 ounces. I didn't have any issues with accuracy, my only issue was with it dying after a period of time with very light use.

Seems to be quite accurate. I use it for shipping packages in the 6 oz to 3 lb range mostly and am very satisfied with it.

I don't know that it would be accurate enough for a postal scale, depends on how small. I'd look for a food scale that goes up to the lbs you need but that will do ounces for small packages. Most bathroom scales are not accurate under like 20-30 lbs.

It should be easy to calibrate (and never assume any measuring device is "factory calibrated"!). Just put an empty container on the scale, press the tare button. Scale should now read 0. Pour a cup of water and the weight should be 8.3 oz.

12.1 Ounces - I commented on my own comment to you and am not sure you would get the answer. I have an accurate scale and the result is here.

My experience is that it is accurate with very small masses such as fractions of an ounce or in a low number of grams. For such small masses or volumes I put a small Dixie cup on the scale (which typically weighs about 3 grams) and then tare the scale and then add in the powder or whatever I need to weigh. I typically use grams, but the scale can show weights in tenths or hundredths of an ounce.

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.

It's accurate enough for such a low priced scale. You can adjust it to make sure the needle is pointed to 0 lb, then when you get on it it will show you weight 50 lb.

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

Yes. It measures in 1/10 of an ounce increments. Nice scale. Very accurate.

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

No. It is only accurate to .01 g witch is a hundredth of a gram . And a mg is a thousandths of a gram. If you want to measure those amounts get a .001 scale

My scale is most accurate. One weight 0.6 ounces. (A little over 1/2 ounce). They're great. I used themfor mailing sports cards & DVD's with no problems. Hope this helps!

I purchased this scale over 1 year ago and it is still very accurate. Most scales are not very accurate over 200 pounds. I weigh about 350 pounds and it still works great for me.

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 :)

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 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

I have had my scale for a year. I really like it and have not had any issues. My husband weighs around 320 lbs. and it is the only scale we have had that actually seems to weigh him acurately time and time again. I have not used all the other programs for several months, however when I was I was happy with those too.
