My WeighSCM201 Ibalance 201 Table Top Precision Scale, Black

I bought this for use in my home chemistry lab. I needed to be able to make mass measurements to a precision of 0.01g. I also found this scale very useful for counting small objects accurately (coins, and bottle caps for homemade beverage bottling).The scale was recommended in the book "Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments", by Robert Bruce Thompson. It was not the cheapest scale recommended, but the extra money was worth it. It is extremely easy to use, and I have checked it against an analytical scale and accurate weights, and I am confident that it is accurate to +/- 0.01g. It has a built-in leveling bubble and leveling feet, an illuminated display, and battery/AC power. Batteries are not required if the wall pack is used. The windscreen is inexpensive plastic, but it does the job and is easy to take apart and clean.Definitely worth $99.

I purchased this scale because I already owned one and it seemed to work well. Used this second one from May 2023 - December 2023. It is now January 2024 and last week this scale just randomly stopped working correctly. Once it is turned on, the reading slowly climbs and just doesn't stop. This is with nothing on the scale, and yes the scale has been calibrated numerous times. There is no interference or air movement in the room and the other identical scale is sitting right next to it with zero issues.With all of that said, I would not recommend this scale to anyone even when it is working. The 200g calibration weight never calibrates the scale to exactly 200g. No matter what, on both scales while both were working, the 200g weight would always end up weighing 196-198g. This means whatever you are weighing is always at risk of being off around .5g which is absurd for the amount of money you are paying for this scale. It should work correctly and give you an accurate reading. There are other scales on the market that will give you accurate readings and last longer. Don't waste your time/money.I have filed a warranty claim and haven't heard back from anyone. Don't really expect to so I'm leaving this review to save others the trouble.

I bought a bunch of these. They are all accurate and function correctly. Liquid can be added by the drop and still be sensed correctly. I was a bit worried that they wouldn't be able to do that because these scales have automatic zero tracking with no way to disable it. The scales aren't made with the best of materials though and the top cover part is flimsy and just sits on top of the scale. I ended up not using them and made my own covers. The calibration weights these came with were all very accurate. The least accurate weight was 0.0069 grams off, and the most accurate was 0.0018 grams off. These scales have an auto-off feature that can be disabled.

Purchased this balance to use in soap making. I am unable to calibrate the scale. Every time I follow the calibration procedures I get a "FAIL" display on the LCD. The balance displays the stability icon at all times EXCEPT during calibration. During calibration the stability icon flashes occasionally. I have contacted the manufacturer but have yet to hear back from them. I will be returning this one if I get no response. The balance weighs the 200g calibration weight at 185g.

Item pictured has Green LCD. This is the older models. The model I received has blue LED which is the newer model. Newer is not always better. On the old model you could access setup menu to turn off auto zero tracking. I find turning that off is nice if you are measuring light material and need it to update on the scale as fast as possible. I have not been able to adjust this in the newer model. Questions to the manufacturer if this menu is available on the newer model have gone unanswered. It is still getting the job done I just have to go a bit slower to wait for the scale. I have attached some pictures of the actual model you will receive.

I just received the iBALANCE 201. Whenever I want to measure a test weight of 50mg, this scale shows zero. Once I remove the weight, the scale displays -0.04g. I recalibrated the scale without improving this situation. - I expect more from a precision scale. At least it should register 50mg +/- 20mg when weights of 50mg are being measured. The scale seems to work for everything above 100mg. - For now, I give it two stars. I can still use it in the kitchen. But it is not recommended for lab work. - I asked customer support for an explanation but did not yet receive a useful reply.

This is a great, top quality scale at a very reasonable price.I received the newest model of the scale and it works flawlessly. This centigram scale does the job very well and is fast to settle on a weight and even shows you that it has settled via an icon. I also appreciate the inclusion of a 200 gram calibration weight. The scale has a built in bubble level and adjustable feet to get a perfectly flat surface.The included plastic enclosure is nice, though it could use some instructions on how to assemble. It became a little puzzle I had to solve, though once assembled, it works well. If you view this as a puzzle, included FREE, in the product, then no worries.
