Ohaus V11P6 Valor 1000 Compact Industrial Scale, 6, 000g x 1g, 115 V

What not to like about a scale with a 13 lb of capacity and a resolution down to 0.002lb? A comparable unit we have at the lab cost almost 3x and only goes to 8lb, allows no standalone operation, etc.The built-in battery is a great feature, the switch-mode power supply to recharge it saves on standby power. The stainless tray is easy to clean, the bubble level makes it easy to properly level the unit. The display is large, nicely backlit. The packaging is solid - nicely cut foam pads that hold the parts without a hint of jiggle.The only downside to this design is the use of a LCD display. If the package on top of the scale obscures a head-on viewing of the LCD screen, it might be very difficult to read the results. A LED display would have been a better choice than a LCD display since the viewing angle is wider. OHaus seems to offer LED-displays in their higher-end scales - but at a much higher price point, see  Ohaus Valor 2000 Washdown Compact Bench - Portion Control Scale V21PW6 (15 lb x 0.002 lb / 1 g)  as an example.

Best scale I've owned...and I've used many, many other brands. It's hard to find a precise scale with a 1gm tolerance and a high-ish weight limit (13lbs) that has a very quick, reliable "tare" function. One that is "sealed" and easy to clean. I have used this model for 5 years; used daily in a rough, greasy environment. Still rocking. I ordered two more. Order arrived quickly. Ohaus scales are impeccable in design and packaged very well. My only wish is there was a larger platform option...this is the largest platform I have found on a GREAT scale. You really get what you pay for when it comes to scales and you will not be disappointed with this one; it will last you for years.

If you need an accurate scale that's sturdy, this is the one. We use it at a manufacturing facility where accuracy is important and this one definitely does the job.

Works well and is much cheaper than money other comparable items. We use it to weigh 1 pound bags (454 grams).

An incredible balance for the money. Top notch quality. Commercial grade, very well built, accurate and very reliable. What else would you expect from an Ohaus product?
