ACCUTECKAll-in-1 Series W-8250-50bs A-Pt 50 Digital Shipping Postal Scale with Ac Adapter, Silver

Probably the best scale I’ve owned. Really helpful and hen shipping packages equal to or less than 50lbs. Very accurate. I compared it to the scale at our local post office and our local UPS Store, and it’s accurate down to the oz. Love the backlight feature. Also love the fact that you can lock the weight temporarily if the box is too big for you to see the weight. You can weigh, lock, remove the box, and read the weight. Highly recommended!

I still use this scale to this day for all my cooking needs. At one point I questioned it to see if it was still accurate so I went and bought one from my local grocery store and I was shocked! Everything I weighed from the new scale, weighed exactly the same as this one. I love how you can choose to plug it up, or use battery’s for it which helps SO MUCH on the convenience. IF this scale sees its last day, I WILL be getting another. Mine has been through a warzone of ingredients, packages, items, etc.

As someone who just got into selling and shipping items, this scale has been great for everything I've sold so far. It's accurate, easy to use, and I haven't had any problems with it so far (I'll update if anything changes!). Build quality seems good too, and it fits very nicely in my room. Overall, great product.

I’ve been using the ACCUTECK scale for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed! As someone who runs a small online business, having a reliable shipping scale is essential—and this one checks all the boxes. The scale was easy to set up right out of the box & I love that it can handle up to 50 lbs. Highly recommend for anyone who ships regularly or runs an e-commerce business!

This scale is pretty accurate for what I need it for. I do a good amount of shipping and I would love to save money on not having to overestimate the packages I am sending. With this I am actually able to weigh out the package EXTREMELY accurately. All the packages I shipped out, it was always exactly what was weighed at the post office. It was never off which is perfect. The one thing I will say is to make sure you remove that styrofoam piece between the tray and the actual scale. I actually kept those as I keep the scale in storage and it keeps the scale from breaking. The tray has a nice feature in that you can lift the top to have something to lean on in case the package is not flat. Be aware that the actual piece is just a simple plastic piece. It can handle some weight but not a ton. The hinge is a bit on the flimsy side. The total max weight it can take is 50 pounds. That being said, it is not the most ideal scale for traveling. It also does not freeze the weight so you cannot have something that covers the scale screen or else you cannot read it. Even at an angle, you are unable to read it as the coloring is off. The screen is LCD and is a bit prone to scratches so be careful. At least this is able to read to the nearest tenth of a ounce and a full pound. I actually like the ounces part as I am able to measure my card sales and such very accurately. You can also use this for light packaging (card sales). It gives you a pretty accurate reading which is great. It is battery powered and it does come with the batteries needed to power it. It also can use the wall plug (also provided) so you do not have to use the battery if needed. How long it last will depend on the batteries you use it from what I can tell. I usually go towards rechargeable battery so I never had to throw out any batteries. That being said, it most likely will not use too much battery power and could last even several months before the batteries died. You can also opt to use the power plug which will ensure you do not use any battery. Please note that it will not recharge any rechargeable inside that scale. I did test the batteries provided and they were all good so that is a good sign. The scale can handle up to 50 lb and you can zero the scale out easily. I recommend doing it every time you weight it. The reason being is that every time I take something off the scale, it tends to shift to negative weight. It does not hinder the accuracy if you zero it out though. The data is actually pretty accurate and I have not seen it miss weigh any package so far. There is pretty good grip on the bottom and for the best results use this on a flat solid surface and you do not have to worry about it sliding off. Do not use this on carpet as it causes the weight to be off. Other than that, I am very happy with this scale. It is accurate and allows you to get a very accurate weight. For me, it really helps me not have to over estimate my package weight and saves me money in the long run especially when it comes to the USPS first class package. Just an simple ounce can cost me a dollar more so no more of that. The only issue I have is the tray part that opens is a bit on the flimsy side. I am not entirely sure it can hold up to 50 lb on that attachment so be careful. It is a nice thing to have though if you happen to have something that is not flat. It does not hinder the weight measurement at all.

There is a reason this scale has so many purchases and good reviews - it's a solid scale and you get a good amount of value. It also has a long track record (seemingly unchanged for years). I did some pretty extensive testing with calibrated weights (more on this below), and found that it does have some inaccuracy at lower weights but overall is a solid choice.This scale is rated up to 50lb, and therefore I would expect it to be most accurate in the middle of that range, but maybe not at the very top or bottom. However, I ship a lot of packages that are in the 3-8oz. range so I did some testing to make sure it was accurate at those lower weights.I used known, calibrated weights and found that in the 3-8oz. range the scale did well for a 50lb. max scale. It had an average error of about 0.1-0.15 oz, which is what it's rated for. However, it would sometimes return a weight that was up to 0.3 oz off which could be an issue if your package is very near to a postal rate breakpoint. However, I think in practice most users will be happy despite the occasional inconsistency.I also noticed that it would sometimes change the reading by 0.1oz a few seconds after the initial reading. Again, not a huge issue but if accuracy is a concern you may want to wait a moment to see if it settles on a different number.The display is easy to read, and you have options of displaying the weight in numerous measurements, including pounds and ounces - which is nice for those of us who need to enter that for shipping labels. The tare and hold functions work as expected.This scale can run off of batteries or an AC wall plug. When plugged in the display will remain on. When running on batteries it will auto power off after a few minutes. I expect battery life will be quite good with the auto shutoff but I will be using it on AC power.Despite its slight inconsistency, I chose to keep this scale for its value and features. I hope this review was helpful and will update it if anything changes.

I purchased this scale because my old one was 20 years old and it was time for a new scale. I have been using this scale for a couple of months and the scale works great. It has a large enough platform to hold packages. The screen is large enough and bright numbers to see. I would recommend, it's a nice scale.
