Amr Mostafa: Great scale, I owned a couple before this one and it is my favorite. While I use this for measuring small quantities such as 3 grams of yeast for my bread, I still would prefer a jewelry scale but unlike my previous scales this one here almost makes this unnecessary. Another thing I love is that it is stable, you won’t find the reading jump up or down randomly or if you lift the bowl up then put it back — things work in a stable manner. Recommended!

Update:
Unfortunately, after few months of use, the buttons now fails to work 50% of the time after turning the scale on, and it's not like I can press the button (any button) one more time to work, no, I actually have to turn off the scale (by taking the battery out, coz remember: the buttons do not work) and turn it back on so that button can start responding again, which YES means losing the previous scale. So what I do now, is before I start measuring anything, I always test the taring button before I put anything so that I don't lose it. Sometimes I forget to do that, and realize midway that it's not going to zero/tare but I've already started adding my ingredients and my hands are not clean so I've to remove...

Eric H: low contrast in some light, +/-0.3g (or better), no adjustable time-out. Works well for the 2 days I have it.

0.1g is just the resolution - that is not +/-0.1g accuracy, and the reading is not perfectly repeatable to 0.1g . 0.3g is the rated minimum readable value.

(SEE EDIT BELOW) 2-minute UN-adjustable time-out means you have to press the tray periodically to keep it awake.

So far it runs on NiMH rechargeable batteries (2x AAA) for about a week then it needs replacement. I'm hoping to find a pair that will last a month at least. The adjusted timeout setting is retained long enough for me to change the batteries without losing that setting. FOLLOWUP: the scale stops working when batteries fall to 1.32v which is disappointing and only takes me 2-3 weeks of use.

It's a fine value - just wish it was adjustable time-out as described.

EDIT: OK there is an UNdocumented procedure to adjust timeout, the selectable settings are 0(none),60,120,180,300 - good enough! I don't know the exact procedure but it appears in one the the answered questions, and in one of the reviews. I just checked and my procedure is:
1. press-and-hold POWER,
2. while the...

JoshJosh: Love this scale. The accuracy and weight limit combination are great, and to have a scale that goes up to such a high weight with a strong accuracy is awesome. I primarily use this scale for foods and so I've included the accuracy with a calibration set I have. The weights below 1,000g are all exact as can be seen in the photos. Once getting to 1,000g the scale then starts to slowly lose accuracy BUT it is within a gram accuracy still. Now this is just the lower range of the scale, but it is more than sufficiently accurate for all of my needs.

There are two drawbacks, but I don't feel they warrant a star reduction.

1. When setting a plate or some other item on the scale, it can block the view of the numbers where you have to bend over a bit to see the numbers. This is a trade-off of the unit having such a small footprint on the counter and I'm fine with it.

2. As others have mentioned the timer before the unit auto-shutoff activates is a bit short, maybe 2 minutes. This is yet another trade-off for battery life. In this case you simply need to be cognizant of occasionally tapping the scale with a finger if you are planning to prepare food while weighing...
