Pelouze PELY50 50 lb. scale
<br />
<br />The scale's weighing platform and support are stainless steel, the body of the scale is aluminum, the bezel frame is steel, and the dial bezel is polycarbonate.; it's an attractive device.
<br />
<br />The only adjustment on this scale is to choose where the needle will point at the at-rest position. You'd think the only appropriate point would be zero, but the needle can be set anywhere from negative 3 pounds to positive 3 pounds. This is FAR more than needed.
<br />
<br />To verify scale accuracy, I weighed various York bar-bell plates (from 1 1/4 lb. to 25 lb.). Since York plates are used in some weight-lifting contests, I figured their plates are accurately manufactured. All plates indicated a weight of about 3 oz. high. Yet, when a plate was on the scale and another plate was added, the increase indicated was the right weight for the 2nd plate. To get accurate readings on these plates then, my scale had to be set, and left at, 3 ounces below zero. Set this way, a York 25 lb. plate resulted in an indicated weight of exactly 25 lb.
<br />
<br />With only 3/8" between pound readings, this scale's maximum accuracy is about 2 ounces. There are 8 lines per pound (per 3/8"), or 1 line per 2 ounces. I'm considering buying a second scale, for weighing things up to 2 lbs. That, plus this one, for weighing things up to 50 lbs., and a bathroom scale for the heaviest items, should be all we'd ever need.
<br />
<br />I rated it at 4 stars because my scale has to be set at negative 3 oz., but it's accurate for things weighing over a pound. | 4 | 752 days ago |
