Powder City DA-20 Digital Milligram Scale 0.001 G

Like another reviewer said, I don’t think this thing starts registering until 7 mg, and some of the Noe Tropics supplements I take require it to be very, very precise, even down to 1 mg to 2 mg. I got what I paid for, I guess! I think even the heavier stuff is off, as this came with 210 G Waze, and that says something right there!One would read out 10.004g, while the other one will weigh out 0.991gDo they sell micrograms scales on this site? I couldn’t find any, Much less afford it!BTW, It’s not the cheapness of the scale, per se, I had bought one of the Gemini scales one time, it also acted inaccurate and “flaky,” even with larger amounts being weighed!Come to think of it, it was off by about 7 mg each time also!It was more expensive, it had the wind shield to keep any wind/breeze/breath from disturbing the delicacy of the scale’s measurement(s). I even had it on a flat surface (as directed in the manual) to make sure that it was weighing correctly: the wind resistance dampened by the cover, the scale on a level surface, and tested with the 10g weight and “fared,” if it needed to be. ALL ofthat was included and it was even getting things wrong anyway!!Both the small items and the large itemsI guess the skills will be good in the kitchen or accuracy isn’t all that big of a deal, but when it comes to supplement to know if tropics, sometimes they need to be pretty accurate!!

Not sure I would use this if I was measuring something super-valuable, but it seems to work well enough for my powdered nutritional supplements, which need to be measured in 10s of mg. Of the two 10g calibration weights, one came up as 10.001 after doing the calibration process by the book up to 20g. Weird, but not a huge concern for me. There's a slot for a spoon? scoop? of some kind in the box but nothing there, and nothing listed on the box or in the insert—I assume that you get that spoon only if you buy one of the 2X priced scales. Noting other reviews: Both calibration weights are intact, they haven't come apart.

It seems to be missing a spoon/scoop as there is a place in the packaging for one but it isn't there. It is very difficult to get the powder (in my case herbal supplements) onto the tiny cup that is actually the scale. The scale does not weigh the entire top surface but only the raised cup area. If you do not evenly distribute the powder in the center of the cup then the weight is off.Also, I cannot calibrate the scale to be 100%. The best I can get it is over by .02 or so.However, for the price i couldn't expect much more. Good for the price.

Can't beat the price - cheaper than all the other (0.001g) milligram scales by at least ten bucks. Seems pretty accurate so far.Comes with 2 little 10g weights for calibration, though one of them fell apart as I picked it up out of the box (the bottom of it detached and 3 tiny metal balls fell out)Max weight is 20g, which is fine for what I'm using it for.I'm very pleased with it so far.

Works like a charm.

One of the weights keeps falling apart and the buttons are kind of difficult to push

The measuring plate is far too small. Unfortunately, since this is a 20g scale, one cannot even compensate for it by placing a light weight cup on it either. Really only good if you need to measure 500mg or less.

Super easy to use to help me weigh out herbal medicine, but it does seem a bit delicate so it’s definitely designed for home use. I store it in the box it came in
