Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I decided to review this item since other reviewer's comments have previously been so helpful. Yes, it does everything it is supposed to do. I checked against known weights for letters, packages and books and it was very accurate. It is easy to use and operates with the adapter or battery, which was included. BTW, a replacement battery (9 volt) is about $4.00 at most stores. You just place an item on the scale then in about 1-2 seconds it weighs and beeps. The weight appears on the LED face, so just lift off the item and use the number for packaging reference. You can also push the tare button and add item to get its weight. For my needs, I just found that having the calculated weight on the front in a big LED and a beep to tell you the weight is calculated speeds up the process: fewer times pushing buttons and glancing to get the info. You can change the mode to Kg.. That does come in handy for weighing items going out-of-country. For a typical e-bay sale, it is not likely that you would exceed the 75lb. maximum: most PC items max out a little over 50Lb, so the extra 25Lb. capacity definitely helps. Finally, the included 9 volt battery worked. For intermittent use, it's the only way to go. As a student, who buys and sells on e-bay, this is a very high value tool. I can weight out accurately US mail and/or FedEx/UPS packages; it is constantly being used. Just knowing how much books weigh, is a lot of help. To sum up, for the price you get an excellent ROI. Would highly recommend to anyone considering a purchase.
