First of all I find it amazing with a simple household product a measuring range of 4 orders of magnitude cover. This corresponds to a ruler that measures to the nearest 1 / 10mm, with a thermometer which can be read 0.1 degree, or a wristwatch that shows the 1/10 second.
From surprise aside, I am also very happy with the balance, it has a few compelling advantages:
- Very good service. A slight touch of the buttons switches reliably.
- Two-key operation: Regardless of the display switches off the surface Berührng "Off" the device.
- The switch-off takes effect after about 5 minutes. The balance therefore does not go out, just because I have to pick up an egg from the refrigerator and serve. Many scales are switched off too early. The not here
- Excellent repeatability. I have a 2 and a 5-cent coin (= 3 + 4 grams) and two 1.5 liter bottles of water (1500g) erected and taken down again in a different order. Each intermediate result has had a maximum of 1 g Abweicheung.
- Also very large items can be placed, since nowhere protrudes a display.
- Very practical is the HOLD function to the measure it allows very large and up to 15 kg heavy objects, even if they cover the display.
- Easy to clean by covering all glass surface.
A few things to note:
- The balance may only stand on his feet. The balance must therefore be placed on an even, relatively clean plate.
- Samples must be placed in the middle. At the edges are measured to a few parts per thousand different results.
Of course, it also has its limits
- According to the manufacturer the kitchen scales weigh to 3 sub-steps, in this case 3 grams.
And a real disadvantage
- Unfortunately, the feet are not slipping. The unencumbered balance shifts slightly.
The here several times put forward a lack of temperature compensation, so that cold objects distort the measurement result, I could not understand. A can of ice on from the freezer always weighed the same amount, regardless of whether they are placed directly on the scales or if only placed a nylon cutting board and indicated with Tara was reset to zero.
Whether button cell at a level an advantage or disadvantage are everyone must decide for themselves. I am Knopfzellenfan. Common types are cheap (
For me the big weighing range and the helpful details outweighs the disadvantage of not non-slip feet. I therefore give full marks.
