Questions & Answers

Defining & maintaining a balanced position is an important part of compensator clips, but does it really work? simply state, "It does not balance.". ?

I had no problems with it.

It is stated that the lever arm (or fulcrum, as the engineers call it) has a length of 12 inches (from outside of one pan to outside of another pan). Is this true?

It doesn't really count as a tool to teach mathematics and science, but it's still great for learning.

OK for toddlers, but inaccurate for older children

3/5

okay for my toddlers to get a basic understanding of weight. However, the scale does not seem to calculate accurate weights and sometimes it does not register the The weight was added slightly to it, so we had to adjust the adjustment a bit.

Balances weight to some extent, but not completely

3/5

If I had the choice I would not give this any stars. Neither it balances nor makes sense. This shows they are not equal, as both sides have the EXACT same thing on both sides of the table. I am blown away. There is only one job you have. What is the matter with you? You're not even able to balance and show weight? That was a terrible waste of money. The most challenging of these tasks is when we have to do all the teaching at home during COVID and my student needs to know.

Considering the price, this is a good product and does what it is intended to do

3/5

I bought this product for valentines week to do a stem project. I appreciate the value of it and it does what it is There is one thing I do not like about the scale. It constantly pops off the middle piece. I wanted to glue it on, but I am afraid it would make the scale inflexible if I did.

The plastic is a light weight, small, hard material that might snap

3/5

The plastic is a light weight, small, hard material that might snap. When not being used, the unit can be fully disassembled. The design is compact. Approximately 12 x 12 x 5 inches are the dimensions of the storage box.

I expected it to be bigger but it was smaller.

Rather than using that scale, I'd look for another one

3/5

A very chintzy person. Although he is in Kindergarten, he still wiggles a lot and has a difficult time maintaining a steady balance.

This book is great for homeschooling

3/5

A scale like this one is cheap, so it can also be used for homeschooling. Despite that, it does not seem to calibrate well. Keep that in mind, please.

It's a really good one! I needed it for my son and it is perfect for him, but keep in mind it is very light and thin so keep that in mind when buying, it is easy to assemble and works great for what it is designed for

5/5
