Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fast Weigh MS-500-BLK Digital Pocket Scale, 500 by 0.1 G
Customer Review: quick, easy, accurate, no-frills
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this to measure smaller ingredients (yeast, salt, etc.) for bread. (In fact, if making a very small batch of bread, I use it to measure _all_ the ingredients.) The 0.1 gram resolution works fine for smaller ingredients, and it's better than a "digital spoon" because I can set it down on the counter rather than having to hold it in my hand.
I've been fairly careful not to drop it or overload it (it's pretty easy not to put more than 500 grams on it as larger loads just won't fit). So I don't know how "sturdy" it is.
It's fast and easy, and seems very accurate-- I'm used to after "sneaking up" on a measurement lifting the bowl off the scale and putting it back and seeing a different reading, but with this scale the reading is usually the same!
Get this one, not very similarly named items either MISbundled with the wrong calibration weight or at well over twice the price.
Use is quite sensible ...but not always well documented (and sometimes different than what the documentation says). When shipped new, batteries are wrapped in insulating tough cellophane so they won't go dead; you HAVE to take the batteries out and remove the clear cellophane from them and put them back before first use. Blue backlight flickering off much of the time means simply batteries are getting low. Display of nonsensical information and/or refusal to operate normally often mean simply that batteries need replacing. (Don't assume scale is "broken" without first trying new batteries:-) Batteries can get low and die without the scale ever displaying the "LO" the user's guide says will appear.
Unit easily switches units to any of a) grams, b) ounces, c) pennyweights, or d) troy ounces, and remembers what you want even across power cycles until you change it again.
