Questions & Answers

This scale is accurate in grams. How accurate is it?

Below a whole ounce, it is not very accurate. In order to test the scale, I used some plain gram cubes I had around. I have tested each cube with a postal scale for accuracy in the past and the cubes are each exactly 1 gram. If the weight goes over 8 grams, the scale will round it up to half an ounce, Considering that the weight is not measured in grams, it would be 5 ounces. The first batch I used more than 28 grams to test the accuracy of 1 ounce, then I proceeded to subtract a few grams. Eventually, I had to put less and less cubes on the scale in order to get an accurate reading, and it still read The weight of one ounce or five ounces. Even though it should require 14 grams to make half an ounce, 8 grams or more consistently would give a reading of half an This scale is used by me for weighing our daughter, who has trouble gaining weight. I find this scale to be This is the same scale her doctor uses at the office. I only use it to measure pounds and whole ounces, however.

What are the gram measurements of this scale? Scales that weigh in grams will be necessary for lactation. The weight of the item is one gram or five ?

In addition to Tanita scales, we also have scales measuring in kilograms and pounds. An overview of the Tanita BD-X A total of 585 measures are taken every ten grams.

What is the location of its manufacture?

A Japanese island

Do you have any recommendations for how well it works with moving subjects? I would like to weigh babies and they seem to move around a lot! ?

It works for me when I weigh puppies and kittens. In the event of excessive movement, place the blanket over the baby and swaddle. Using a blanket will result in 0 points on the scale. The scale looks good to me

Selected User Reviews For Tanita BD-585 Pediatric Scale

It's a very inaccurate tool not suitable for precision measurements, especially when you take into account the price
3/5

The purpose of getting this one is to measure the weight of our newborn before and after feeds. It was even reported that he had gone from 7lb 5oz to 7lb 3oz at one point. After he fed, he drank 5oz. For the price, it is very disappointing as the measurements are inaccurate and the product is not useful at all for precise measurements We will return it to you.

The scale is very good
5/5

I recommend it. The device is sensitive enough to adjust by grams or half an It was important for our newborn son to have a scale with such accuracy. Our tests have shown that the scale is accurate. The only issue is the adhesive tape measure that comes with the scale the zero point is not quite at the end of the plastic strip, so when stepping on the scale one might have to have the plastic strip off a little bit.

The spending more money to reflects the fact that our clients perceived this as their favorite
5/5

A few of our vets told us what scales they keep in their offices and how they have held up over The reason we spent more money on this one is because it was clearly their favorite. The unit is easy to use and should last a lifetime since we only use it once a week to weigh 2 cats, and the vets obviously use theirs more frequently and have not needed to replace it.

Although there are no perfect scales, this appears to be an accurate display
5/5

Cats weigh more than they need to in order to be weighed as house pets. In the event that the scale rests on a surface that is not exactly level, it can be off by two inches A 3 pound weight loss.

It is a complete misnomer
3/5

Buying is not a good idea. During the first month of my baby's life, I weigh him three times. There is a significant difference between the two amounts. Approximately 4 kg. Buying is not a good idea.

I don't like the short time out, but so far it's going well
3/5

I liked the clean design on this unit, as well as the size I wanted to monitor my cats' weights (room for a cat to stand or to eat a treat, but not too bulky for the I'm within a few ounces of my veterinarian's scale, so I'm happy about that. It shuts off after a ridiculously short timeout period (about 10 seconds between hitting "On/Tare" and turning off). In most cases, getting a cat to stay still on it takes much longer than that. A better design would extend the timeout period or even allow you to adjust it.

This is an accurate and user-friendly program
5/5

A sick cat needed to be weighed, so I bought this. This product was purchased since it was essentially the same as the one our veterinarian I find the program to be very straightforward a. ) Zeroes before each A clear and visible weight calculation, which locks in and flashes until the weight is removed, is available. Precision measurements down to one tenth of an ounce.
