But if you are looking for a quick and easy weight that you can use to measure some things out, this is for you. If you are some nitpicky scientist that is looking for exact down to the wire no margin for error weighing then you may want to pay for a scientist quality scale. But for the average user weighing out no tropics to put on a pill then that is all you need. Good luck and thank you for reading my review. This is a great product for a new or average user looking for something quick and easy.
