AWS-1KG


This scale kicks the pants of the other scale I have for weighing brewing salts.  It displace the weight in 0.1 gram increments, and can also display in oz.  The accuracy is listed as 0.1g as well, meaning that when it says 1.7g it is between 1.6 and 1.8 grams, and testing seems to confirm this for most weights.  There was slightly more error below 20 grams although for the money, I don't think you can beat it.

Out of the box the scale was accurate to 5%, but the scale can be calibrated with a 500g calibration weight.

One odd thing I noticed is that the scale seems to be fairly unstable at weights less than one gram.  By shifting the substance on the plate the weight value will change by up to 0.2g.  This is so small it shouldn't be an issue.

Overall, I think the scale is great, and an excellent value!
