Bonvoisin Lab Scale 5000gx0.01g High Precision Electronic Analytical Balance 0.01g Accuracy Laboratory Precision Digital Scientific Scale (5000g)

I'm a little confused about how to rate this. I wanted to buy a 500-g capacity balance. The one I got came with a 500 g calibrated weight...but the balance only goes up to 322 g because the tray weighs 178 g. Technically it goes up to 500 g if I remove the try ..but no one ever does that. Therefore, the description is misleading. On the other hand, this is not a big problem because I do not have to weigh 300+ g, so I decided not to return this. The balance is accurate to 0.05 g (my lightest calibration standard), which was surprising. It's easy to level, it's not very heavy...So, overall, for $111, and for my needed accuracy, I am very satisfied with this instrument. 👍

Excelente producto, buen precio

Good quality for price

Incredible scale. It is very accurate. I just wish it came with a case.

I could have sworn I already reviewed the Bonvoisin Lab Scale 5000gx0.01g High Precision Electronic Analytical Balance 0.01g Accuracy? Anyway, it is Fantastic, almost unbelievable. It is incredibly sensitive and has a huge capacity. I am using it in the kitchen for precise measurements of food calories and nutrients. You can put an entire heavy cast iron skillet on the Bonvoisin, tare (zero) the scale with one button push, and then add your food and it will read out the amount of food to ±0.01 grams. When making a salad, I place the bowl on the scale, tare it, add lettuce and record the value, tare, add tomato, record, tare, add broccoli, etc. I later enter all values into a custom Excel spreadsheet and determine my exact calories, fat, carbs, protein, and other nutrients for the day. It was very revealing as I found most of my calories were coming from the Olive Oil dressing and the Red Wine I was drinking with the meal. I cut back on Olive Oil and reduced number of glasses of wine. This is a great, convenient scale with high capacity and high precision.

I had high hopes for this as I needed a good scale to weigh coins. For coins, to make sure you don’t have a replica, the weight has to be exact. This scale kept bouncing numbers up and down. I calibrated it numerous times to see if maybe that was the problem but nope. Then I thought maybe it was not set right but after checking it throughly and giving it so many tries, ultimately I decided to return it. I’m going to spend more money on a scale I see a lot of coin shops use. It looks sturdy and capable but ultimately it did not work.

Using it every day, it is just perfect!!

For those who want to know the accuracy of this scale, I've made the following measurements.Weight. Reading (grams)200. 200.31100. 100.1650. 50.0825. 25.0420. 20.0510. 10.005. 5.002.5 2.532. 2.031. 1.03.700 0.70.500 0.50.400 0.40.300 0.30.200 0.20.100 0.10The scale shows a stable, consistent reading. I am very happy with the scale so far. I make no guarantees about the accuracy of my standard weights. This is for reference only. I made these readings with the scale taken right out of the box. I didn't do any calibrations, and don't recommend that you do either.
