Smart Weigh Digital Baby Scale Infant Scale for Weighing Pet Scale for Puppy and Cat Accurate Digital Scale in Pounds Ounces Kilograms Holds Up to 44 Lbs Multi-Function with Hold Function

Nearly did not buy this scale because its Amazon page erroneously claims the "scale accuracy" is 0.1kg and that's almost a full 1/4 pound! That would make this scale worthless for my purposes. Fortunately the SELLER clarified in one of the Q&A's that the accuracy is instead 10 grams; giving me something specific to work with that also sounded more realistic. But how does 10 gram accuracy translate into something useful to understand when using the scale in one of it's three weight-measuring modes: fractional kg's; fraction lb's; or lb-oz's with fractional oz's?Here's what I calculated and then observed: 1st by mathematical calculation and 2nd by using the scale to see if my calculations were accurate. In other words, does the SELLER's claim of 10 gram accuracy agree with what happens when I use the scale? First the calculations:10 grams = 10 g / 1000 g/kg = .01 kg10 grams = 10 g / 454 g/lb = .02 lb10 grams = 10 g / 454 g/lb x 16 oz/lb = .35 ozThese accuracies all sound reasonable and "accurate-enough" for my purposes (if verified by scale use) for accurately monitoring the weight of my beloved senior kitty named Bootsie (bless her sweet heart)! I plan on tracking her weight by weighing her in fractional lbs on this scale.When I put Bootsie on the scale it was pretty easy to get a reproducible weight of 7.14 lbs. The scale readings fluctuated between 7.14 lbs 7.16 lbs and 7.18 lbs and very rapidly at times. Seems it spent more time at 7.14 lbs and when I finally pressed the HOLD button it went to 7.14 and stayed there. Pretty good.Something interesting to note is that I never saw fractional lbs displayed other than "even" numbered 1/100th lb increments of XX.X0 XX.X2 XX.X4 XX.X6 and XX.X8. No "odd" numbers allows two digits to the right of the decimal point! The calculated accuracy of 0.02 lbs matches my experience using this scale.The scale-modes of measuring weight in kg and lb-oz allowed all numbers 0 - 9 in the digits to the right of the decimal point (not restricted to only even numbers like before). The fractional oz readings however alternated in increments of .03 oz and .04 oz. This is expected because I calculated the accuracy to be .035 oz and this is in the middle of .03 oz and .04 oz: .030 < .035 < .040. Placing Bootsie on the scale I saw the following fractional oz readings: 7 lb- followed by 1.9 oz 2.3 oz 2.6 oz 3.0 oz before settling down to a recordable reading.I placed a 1 pound package of unopened dry spaghetti on the scale and read 1.00 lb (see photo). I also placed several beauty bells on the scale and got readings close to their 3 lb, 5 lb, 8 lb and 10 lb weights; but I'm confident the beauty bells themselves are not true to their designated weights. So this test was not very helpful. Better to weigh food products to test your new scale.When I placed the 10 pound beauty bell on the center on the scale I recorded a different weight than placing it off-center. Not surprising especially using a focused weight like a beauty bell; just a reminder to center your baby or pet on the scale's weigh surface as best you can. Interesting to note that the recorded 10 lb weight was heavier when off-center than when centered.I did more tests around the 7 lb to 8 lb because of Bootsie's current weight. I have to say I like this scale. My favorite test was done using the 3 lb and 5 lb beauty bells. The 3 lb weight read 2.96 lb on the scale while the 5 lb weight read 5.04 lb. Placing both weights on the scale at the same time the scale read 8.00 lb. This was reassuring because 2.96 + 5.04 = 8.00 (see pictures).I’m happy with my purchase given this is an inexpensive scale. Do scales costing 5 times more work better? I don't know. Maybe or maybe not. Probably. But any scale with 10 gram accuracy is going to be “finicky” about the surface it’s setup on and when weighing objects like babies and pets that don’t stay completely still will always be a challenge. This is a very light weight scale. I would expect more expensive scales have metal components and weigh more than this scale. I’d also expect that a heavier scale weigh-deck would have a dampening effect and reduce the amount of sporadic readings when weighing a moving baby or pet. Just a guess.My biggest disappointment is not exactly the fault of this scale. I specifically picked a scale that had a large footprint about the same size as its weighing-deck. A popular alternative are similarly all plastic light weight inexpensive scales that have a large removable weigh-deck that is placed on top of a much smaller base footprint. I didn’t want this alternative for a couple of reasons I won't go into here. But after using my new scale I do see the advantage of having a smaller footprint. The large footprint of this scale can make it difficult to find a flat enough surface to use it on. Always check that all 4 feet of the scale are simultaneously in contact with your work surface. Do that and I think this scale will get the job done.

Got this to monitor the weight of a small pet. Works great, the batteries last a long time.It's easy to clean and holds up well, and has a large enough surface for a small animal to sit on comfortablyProvides 2 decimal places accuracy (in both kg and lbs), although if you want to use that for medicine calculation purposes, I'd recommend thinking twice before factoring in decimals

Easy to use and easy to store, very lightweight but works well. Good for tracking baby’s weight at home

Seriously, though.We bought this because our baby had a hard time latching and I was especially worried about how much food she was getting. I made a mistake buying this.1. Baby squirms too much for it to get a good, accurate reading.2. Not actually accurate enough to see how much baby ate if you're doing a before/after meal weight on a tiny newborn, especially when that newborn is squirming around on the thing and won't sit still long enough to get a good steady reading.3. It's lightweight, yeah. It's slim, yeah. But you probably still don't have a perfect spot to store the random 2.5 foot long oval4. You won't use it that often because, guess what, it's a hassle to pull it out of its storage space and set it up and put it back away when you have a baby. You have better things to do with your time.5. Your baby gets weighed at the doctor. On a far superior scale. Do you really need to know your baby's weight every single day? Rethink that.All that aside, the product itself is fine, ergo the 4 star review. It does read accurately (unless you're trying to weigh a moving object). It does have decent precision (for average uses). It looks great. It feels kind of high-end in my opinion. It's just largely useless is all.

Light weight and easy to use

Doesn’t work at all. Won’t zero out on any surface. Used it on a completely flat table and the scale was fluctuating with nothing on it by up to 1 pound. Weight was not accurate either even when using the TARE setting to set it to zero. It would say that my baby weighed less after feeding than before. Weighing her multiple times in a row got me a weight of 14-15 pounds and it would never completely set on a weight. Very disappointed since it had such great reviews from some people. For an older child who doesn’t need exact ounces it might be fine but if you’re using it for a baby when ounces and pounds are important, it’s frustrating not to be able to get an accurate consistent measurement.

Very accurate I have two Pomeranians and two cats and I monitor their weight with the scale and it works perfectly. It’s big enough to put them on and they don’t get nervous about standing on it. I have a 22 pound cat a 17 pound cat and 216 pound large Pomeranians, any other dog or cat that’s bigger than that I would suggest a bigger scale, the smaller the area for them to stand on they get nervous and they won’t stand still, but since puppies, and since kittens, I have taught my animals to be weighed so this works perfect for me, but if your animals are jumpy it might not work for you unless you get a bigger scale

Inexpensive baby scale. Claims to weigh up to 40 lbs. However a 15-20 lb puppy is too bulky (and active) to fit on it. Human baby might lay more quietly. It was adequate for checking weights from week to week and to calculate approximate weight for worming doses. Got this in a pinch as we couldn't find the Exacto Beam Scale that hadn't been used in years and was somewhere in a storage shed.
