Lan Sheng Calibration Conversion Back Lit Reviews Summary

Accuracy

Pros:

• "Clear, bright (orange) display and dead-on accuracy, all bundled up into a neat little package!"
• "Great product. Comes with calibration weight which is nice. Very accurate."
• "Has been accurate in all of my testing up to .001 which is more than accurate enough for my needs."
• "It is very accurate with precision to 0.01 gram."
• "Very pleased with the build quality and overall ease of use. I can definitely recommend this scale to anyone needing one that weighs at the milligram level."
• "This scale is very accurate and sensitive to any weight at all."
• "I find it to be stable, accurate, and repeatable (200 gr range, 0.01 gr resolution)."

Cons:

• "I correctly calibrated it but it will not weigh correctly at all. Sometimes it weighs too heavy. Sometimes it won't even register that I'm trying to weigh something."
• "The measurements in this weight range are extremely inconsistent, making this scale useless to me."
• "It wasn't accurate or consistent enough at small weights for my reloading needs."
• "Very inaccurate readings. way out portions of meals/food etc and varies every time. Not to mention, item needs to be re-calibrated every simple time it is used."
• "The scale is not accurate. I will weigh the same item multiple times and sometimes the weight will register and other times it will not."
• "Today it doesn't register weight, even the calibration weight doesn't register."
• "This scale could not be calibrated using the included weight."

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

• "This scale is a nice design, easy to hold and accurate."
• "The hard case makes it easy to carry without the fragility of a precision instrument."
• "Scale has a nice rugged design and has easy to use buttons."
• "Comes with a cover that goes over the scale as well as a clamshell case, so the scale is very well-protected."
• "It is built into a nice thick case like a miniature briefcase with a tray so your product does not spill onto the floor."
• "Very light weight. Durable, and great quality."
• "I am very impressed by the build quality, and functionality of this device."

Cons:

• "Update on 02/12/2021: But in the past couple of weeks I have noticed air bubbles on the control panel of the unit and cracks on the display screen."
• "The pan is a little cumbersome to transfer small items to small bags or bottles."
• "I have used this scale about 10 times. Today the mode button just popped up in the air as I pressed on it. It will not go into calibration mode. I do not recommend this scale at all."
• "The one I received is garbage. The measurements fluctuate constantly up and down by as much as 3 grams."
• "This scale comes with a 50g check weight. Mine arrived with the bottom cover detached, and the adjustment slugs loose in the box."
• "Doesn't work, looked as if it was already used and not new. Will not calibrate so its worthless to me... Wasted my monies. Very upset. DO NOT BUY."
• "Inaccurate and cheaply made."

Functionality and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "I have used it daily multiple times a day since I purchased this scale weeks ago. I have even dropped it and it works great."
• "Perfect for weighting small items accurately, easy to carry, care and use."
• "Love this! It's so easy to use and is very accurate. It come with a 50g weight to make calibration easy and quick."
• "Nice scale..favorite part is the calibration has a home inside so it's never lost..also the tray/scale cover is a nice touch."
• "Very easy to use and instructions and action to calibrate were very easy to follow."
• "Using it is pretty intuitive so no manual is needed, although it does have some of the basic functions printed on the inside of the lid which is handy."
• "Operation is easy. Instructions were clear."

Cons:

• "The only way to turn the unit off is to take out the batteries."
• "The scale works great except the tare part. When you add something you want to tare the weight of and you press the tare button it zeros out. But when you go to add weight it just keeps adding to the tare and stays zeroed out."
• "Should be on a flat surface for most accurate and consistent measurements."
• "The one thing I wish it had is a 'hold' button; when weighing anything more than a few inches long, the item covers the weight display, and the weight goes back to 0 as soon as you remove the item."
• "Instructions say to use the 'On/Off' button. There is no 'On/Off' button as far as I can find!"
• "The case is a little hard to open but more importantly I have to push the zero button more than once, sometimes several times to change the scale."
• "I have to add to my prior review. If I push hard on the button, it works but more than not I have to press several times."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "It amazes me that I could purchase a scale that will measure to the nearest milligram for $10."
• "Why spend more when this scale is perfect. Nice and compact also."
• "This pocket scale is great. While it's not something I use every day, when I do it's got what I need."
• "It's one of those nice to have devices that most people won't use very often, but at the price it is a real good value and I have it now when I need it."
• "Great way to get a good bang for your buck when you know what to look for and to haggle overpriced gem dealers to their real market prices."
• "I love that it's small and compact."
• "Very compact, so you can stash it away in a drawer or cabinet without sacrificing much space."

Cons:

• "I wasn't expecting a lot at this price point but I thought it would be somewhat useful. After following the included instructions, I calibrated the scale with the included weight but the scale never gave the same weight twice for any object."
• "This item worked for about 2 months... it is nearly impossible to tare and even when I can it immediately falls out of calibration."
• "It wasn’t a ton of money to lose, but now it’s back to the drawing board."
• "This scale worked until two days after the return window closed. Now its 50mg weight weighs -23g."
• "However, if you need a scale capable of weighing significant amounts, you probably can't fit it on the relatively small scale."
• "This scale seems really sensitive can’t handle roughly must be real careful I did get it to adjust But still have to be real careful about putting the weights on putting water object you want it it seems real sensitive also seems real cheap."
• "This scale was delivered the day after I ordered it, in less than 24 hours!"
