Is this scale more durable than the five pound Oxo? I've had two of the five pound scales and they didn't last long.

I have one of these, used it less than 10 times and it nk longer functions. The display gives me half numbers that can hardly be read. I bought new batteries, no difference. I'm quite disappointed.

I was not happy with the durability of the Rikon pressure cooker. It basically lasted about a year and then fell apart. The top of the cooker came off in pieces. If I were you, try one of the new electric pressure cookers. Get the extended warrantee as well.

I own one for two years. Not that bad, as weight is concerned. I'm a female w/o strong wrist, I can handle with one hand. If I do a full wok of heavy stuff, I'll scoop some out first before lift the whole wok. It's iron, no coating, sustain heat much better. It's just healthier way of cooking. My hubby likes the dishes I made out of this wok better. I guess it's because I would be able to fully heat up the oil before stir fry. I don't worry about the coating damage and chemical release due to heating any more.

I read through descriptions of both before purchasing the xl550. It seems the only difference is in the weight capacity. I weigh under 150 pounds, and this scale xl550 is accurate for my weight range, and judging from the reviews by others, it works just as well for much higher weights.

Yes, I weigh alot and have had this little scale for quite awhile. Use a cup or bowl and tare it out. Works great!

Hi. I can't take the measure cause it broke shortly after purchase. The upper spring fell apart. Buy the simple silicone steamers they are the best and very durable. This is my first disappointment with oxo, they usually have excellent products.

Hey Joseph. I still have my scale and it works great. No problems. It has a 2 yr Manufacturers warranty. Here is their new website. http://www.affordablescales.com/industrial-scales/shipping-scales/. Also I think the company sold to another company. They had some good videos on the scale. I found them on youtube. Just search "LSS shipping scale." Good luck.

The 5 lb. and 15 lb. look the same. I've had nothing but good luck with my 15 lb unit. The 5 lb UPS-type scale with the white face is a different look.

Mine only lasted less than a year. Tried 2 new batteries, still would not work. Cost more to return it to distributor than a new Taylor scales cost. Taylor will be my choice in the future. Also, it would not fit in the cheaper postal box, because the scales are over sized requiring a larger box that is more expensive to ship back.

This Rat 5 is an awesome knife, it's a better slicer that the Esee 5, but not as durable. I have 2 Esee 5's and love them, but they weigh twice as much as the Rat 5. Hope this review is helpful for your purchase.

I have used my scale daily for approximately two months and the original batteries are still being used. They are going strong, so I can't really answer this question. I have found with two previous scales that the original batteries last much longer than the ones I use to replace.

I havne't had to replace my batteries once and I've had my scale for 2-3 years. However, my scale only gets occasional use.

Well I use the scale to weigh my dogs. It gives me the same weight the vets scale does. When I put a five item on it to see how accurate it was, it weighed it at 5lbs.

The one I got didn't work. When I was chopping up veg's, and adding them bit by bit to the bowl sitting on the scale, it turned off in the middle of it, even though there was only a few seconds delay between adding things to the bowl. Then I tried pressing buttons and I wasn't able to get the weight back. It came back as 0. So I returned that scale and bought another of the same model, and it did the same thing.

I have had mine for five years now, and am still on the original set of batteries. The scale gets used at least once a day.
