Scope of supply:
- Libra
- Four AAA batteries
- Manual (German)
Design: (Black Version)
The design of the scale is well thought out. Upstairs there is a glass plate with specially hardened glass. The overlaps the base underneath, so that no dirt can penetrate there. The underside is made of shiny plastic, so that one can not accurately detect at first glance, where the glass stops and plastic begins. The bottom quarter of the top houses the display and controls. The display has a pleasant blue backlight. The digit size is about 1.5 cm and the numbers are legible. The battery compartment is located on the back.
Commissioning and operation:
First, the four supplied AAA batteries must be inserted. So the balance is already operational. Importantly, the site must be an even surface and a solid surface, so that the result is fair and accurate. It is operated via two touch buttons, ie. a finger contact is sufficient. With the right button Tare the balance is switched on. Now the material can be placed for weighing. With the left button the corresponding units can be changed. Available lboz, oz, g, ml (water), cup (water), ml (milk), cup (milk). The selected setting is saved for the next Wiegevogang. Additional weighing is not a problem, just touch the button and Tara have the display is reset to zero.
Conclusion: The balance can actually nothing to be desired. The measurement result is very accurate. A comparative measurement on my lab balance brought the same result. The buttons respond very quickly to touch. The cleaning of the balance is not a problem with the design. It's also nice to use AAA batteries, so you do not have to having trouble with any exotic coin cell. I also think it's very good that you can weigh up to 5 kg. My little mechanical kitchen scale, it creates only up to 2 kg. The only downside, they must not be dropped. I guess then is broken toughened glass. Since I have this scale, I am the way, went to weigh liquids and not to measure. This is much easier.
