This scale is fantastic for your weighing needs, whether big or small. This is the first scale I've ever purchased for my weighing needs (back in 2009 to boot) and not once did it cause any problems or die out on me. An absolute regret free purchase!Let's get a little more into the item shall we? :)You get the following weighing options.1. Grams2. Kilograms3. Ounces4. Pounds5. Pounds & OuncesAnd the following buttons.1. On/Off - Obviously to turn on or off. It's kind of nice that it greets you hello and goodbye but this feature can actually be done away with. It would be quicker if the scale could start without it since start-up takes a couple of seconds longer. It's just the initial start so it's not really a problem once it's over and done with.2. Hold - This is great if you want to remove the items you're weighing but keep the weight displayed.3. Tare/Zero - To reset the scale to zero. Sometimes the scale can go into the negatives or be off a bit due to lots of weighing but a quick press can reset it. Also good for clearing the weight being held with the hold button.4. There's also a black button on the side for you to change how you want to weigh the items. Each click will change to grams, ounces, or whatever you choose. There's also a little triangle on the display that indicates which option you're currently on.The Pros1. Great Battery Life - The scale can operate on 4 C batteries but holy cow, does it operate well on these. I'm still using the same batteries I bought for it back in 2009 when I first purchased the scale. And I've been using the scale pretty much everyday, multiple times a day, without fail for pretty much everything. I also often forget to turn the scale off since I usually end up sidetracked. It's plain awesome that about 4 years in and I haven't had to change the batteries even once.2. Auto-Off Feature - I mentioned I often forget to turn the scale off right? Well, it'll turn itself off eventually so that saves the battery life even more. Great for someone forgetful. XD3. Great Accuracy - You can weigh the lightest of items to a heavy 55 pounds. I've had no problems with getting expected weights. Even if it does go off, it's usually very minimum (like 0.1 oz if you're using ounces). I normally weigh the same items a couple of times to be sure.4. Detachable Display - This serves well for large items that block the display making it difficult to see the weight. Detaching it solves the problem quite nicely.The Neutral1. Color - Nothing big but I got the silver color. It does kind of look outdated but I guess it's more of an aesthetic thing for me. I like pretty and well, it's not much of it. Since the color is rather neutral though, I don't have much gripes about it otherwise.The Cons1. The item does have rather sharp/scratchy edges so I think it's better to be careful when moving it about (or even when detaching the display). I tend to change it's location quite often so I'm extra careful when I do. Otherwise, I don't have any cons regarding the scale.And that's about it. This is quite the durable scale so it's a great option to consider! I certainly hope mine will run for another 4 years if not more!
