Most Helpful Positive Review

Excellent for the price

This scale seems to be very accurate and a very easy to use Tare button. I weigh birds to make sure they are healthy and maintaining a correct weight.

Most Helpful Negative Review

Two different scales - Both do not work

I purchased two 5 lb scales. Both were in two different local stores and in the stockroom. I used their batteries and then switched to different batteries. The scale never turned on. Followed the instruction manual and still refuses to do anything. I don't understand how two brand new scales will not turn on. Never purchasing this again as it has wasted my time and money.

Comments about DYMO� 5-lb. Digital Postal Scale:

The scale should convert to all ounces. It should come with a check/calibration weight. Other than that it's a really nice little unit. Super easy to use & very compact. Looks great on your desk too! All though I hate the saying "for the money", for the money, this is a great buy. The display is big, bright & easy to read.

Comments about DYMO� 5-lb. Digital Postal Scale:

I would recommened getting the 5lb scale over the 3lb scale. The price difference is minimal and well worth spending the few extra bucks to get the 5lb. It even came with batteries :) It is extremely light. I use this to ship things and is extremely easy to read, and use. I always shop at the 86th St. & B'way location in NYC and the store is well organized, staffed with courteous people, and big in size so it is easy to maneuver around without knocking into people. I would highly recommened this product!!

This scale is working great for us! It suits our needs perfect. It is battery operated and has no electric cord which would be nice if it did but otherwise very pleased. Would buy again and recommend.

Q:
I was wondering if this scale allows you to weigh just an envelope. If we were to put an envelope that seems like it might need an extra stamp, would it be able to calculate the exact weight?

- A:
  It calculates weight accuracy within .1 oz. It will be able to tell you the weight of your envelope, but not postage amount.
