PE5 5-lb.Straight Weigh Digital Postal Scale, 5-7/8 x 5-7/8 Platform

I bought a PE10, which is almost identical to this model. I assumed it was well made given the high price.After using it just a few dozen times, I was shocked to have broken off the top of my unit: when picking up the envelope I laid on the scale, one of my fingers accidentally pressed the plastic top of the scale upwards. The force from just *one finger* broke off the top of the scale (held in only by tiny plastic pieces).I've never seen such crappy quality, let alone at such an expensive price (nearly $100 with power adapter at time of purchase). DEFINITELY not recommended.

When questions about product, there was good communication. Correct product pictured and described, but different model received. Which usually might not be a big deal, but I needed to weigh a certain volume. That wasn't possible on the model. Once I inquired about return and was instructed in how to do so, I did return for refund. When waiting for the refund, is when all communication broke down. I tried to communicate in multiple ways, including e-mail I had when we had communicated and also through Amazon, but I never heard anything back. I gave it time between all communication, but after a while I had to contact Amazon, and finally got it resolved and received refund.

Excellent scale I've used for years off and on. I used to use this model daily when I worked with wildlife to weigh small animals, now use it to monitor the weight of my own parrot. Also comes in handy when selling stuff online to know the exact shipping price.I just don't like having to rely on batteries, I prefer plugging into an outlet (neither power sources included). Would be a 5 star product if it included and AC adapter for the same price.

It is difficult to see why anyone would give this scale anything other than 5 stars. It is a very compact, and highly accurate, measuring device, giving weights to a tenth of an ounce. It has many nice features, including the ability to weigh the contents of a container by resetting the zero point to the weight of the container.Another nice feature is the ability of the scale to display for 8 seconds the weight of a large item, giving you a chance to read the display even though it had been covered by the item. Also, you can toggle between English and metric units of measure.We had an older version of this same scale, which we used for over a decade with satisfaction. Even though the appearance of the scale has not changed, its functionality has been much improved.

Bought this scale to replace an identical scale that failed at the office. Despite the description indicating the scale measures in .05 gram increments, the packaging and manual both indicate 2.0 gram increments. Before returning the scale to Amazon, I tested it out and confirmed the higher 2.0 gram measurement - just like the box and documentation indicate.This is a good scale, but either Amazon or the manufacturer has screwed up the description and stats.

Dependable, easy to use. We have a small business and do all our shipping on-line and this little electronic scale is awesome. Be sure to buy the AC adapter along with this, as the scale does not come with one.

If you ship small packages don't get this scale. My packages are under the weight limit however I can't read the read-out, the package is in the way. I would think this problem is so obvious that it would have been considered in the design of the product.This is useless to me.

Since purchasing this scale I have used it several times. Very user friendly. I would recommend this particular product to anyone that needs one.Sharon
