PRO's
- It has a plug in option
- Easy to read display (optional blue backlight can be turned off)
- Measures in 0.1g increments, and is extremely easy to use
- The bowl comes in handy to keep the actual scale plate clean and helps protect when weighing possibly magnetized items (such as PC screws)
- The functions make it very simple to pickup on (There are dwt, g, oz, and calibration options to select from - very easy to calibrate)
- Can work with batteries AND/OR house plug, making it very flexible.
- The lid stays connected, ensuring you do not lose it. It also covers the actual scale mechanism when closed, making it more secure and less likely to break if lightly damaged. Simply recalibrate and it should work (Im not suggesting smashing this thing off of a floor and trying to use it, but I like the protection aspect). Great for travel if you are collecting samples in the field or simply watching your dietary intake on a trip/at work.
CON's
- Some may think it is too large. Depending on the use, it might be, but then again, you most likely should be worrying about other hidden items if you are worried about trying to hide this device on you. It is what it is.. a precise kitchen scale. I rather call it a household scale.
- With the top not detaching, you must consider the lid when deploying the scale. It flips backward and must have enough room for it when open.
- It does not come with any calibration equipment, even though they are cheap to purchase... it is a pain when you need to buy an "add-on item" for less than $5, but can't unless you get to the Amazon limit. So it would be nice to have the option.
THOUGHTS
- I think this scale is amazing, and I love the plug function. It takes 4 AA batteries if I remember correctly, and is very easy to use. I also like that it is at least accurate beyond a gram, as I use it for measuring small pieces from PC parts, powders for paint mixtures (such as flake) and mixing correct ratios of powdered chemicals. It has been very reliable and I would recommend it to others over other scales in an instant.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN TAKE SOME OF THE GUESSING OUT OF THE WEIGHT SITUATION...LB-3000
HOPEFULLY WE CAN TAKE SOME OF THE GUESSING OUT OF THE SITUATION... Ok, so I have read through all the questions & have read a bunch of reviews for this scale over some time and have read many conflicting comments concerning whether or not the scale comes with the calibration weights, many Comments say YES & many say NO. I received my LB-3000 Compact Bowl Scale on Oct 14, 2016 and I also thought that it came with the calibration weights from reading the Questions & also the Reviews but I didn't realize that the weights come with other models but not with the LB-3000, I also found out by reading the side of the box upon reciept that the weights are not included with this model. If you have the time to view my pics you will see that the side of the box says that they are 'Not Included' and that the Amazon description page does not state that the weights are included with the LB-3000 (learned the hard way) my review would easily have been 5 STARS without the weight confusion, Love the scale! I hope this helps someone...
