• "This scale is very accurate and extremely easy to use."

Cons:

• "I've weighed a few items several times, each time I get a different reading for the same item."

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

• "Even though it is mostly plastic, the build quality is pretty good."

• "It's also quite thin."

• "This scale is very well made and seems quite durable."
• "The scale is easy to use and very well made."

Cons:

• "The scale is on the small side (think kitchen scale), which means larger packages will obscure the display."
• "Worst scale EVER! attraction was USB charging...but it needs charging every other week with moderate use."
• "Feels a bit flimsy but for the cost, it's to be expected and does its job."
• "The major issue most people are going to have with any of these small scales is SIZE."
• "Its weighing capacity is up to 50 pounds but it becomes difficult when weighing bulkier items due to its small weighing surface."
