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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
