I never thought I_ be find a fully functional, well made, new** microgram scale for under $300, but I scored on a price dip down to $260 and nabbed one of these bad boys!! Ooooh and I_l be damned if I don_ flaunt it!!! Freakin score babee *100 emoji* *fire emoji* *airhorn sound effects*Okay onto the real review:Could hear some parts clanking around while cutting the first layer of tape off the box, which desperately needed a _his side up sticker or marking somewhere. I double checked every surface inside and out and never found a packaging indication for this. So to the company making these: START DOING THAT. AND PACKAGE YOUR GLASS UNINSTALLED OR WITH SEPARATORS SO THEY DON_ BREAK DURING TRANSIT. Thank you. (and please send me a new front glass piece, thanks again). Everything else, especially the price, on this balance is amazing. I really really like the feature that allows me to set the refresh rate of the reading on the screen based on the accuracy and sensitivity settings. That_ a feature I have not seen even on expensive microgram scales.I_ hoping nothing breaks anytime soon, and I will certainly update this if I come across any problems like significant drifting, threshold values around 0.0000g or anything else.For now however, aside from the packaging issue that caused a tiny part of the front window to break, 5 stars in every aspect.Will be recommending this to other students I know who are also setting up labs of their own without legacy equipment from their professors.Worth every penny! Hopefully more people can score the same awesome price I did!
