Summary: Warning!! Do not buy this product!
Review: I bought this scale thinking that I would use it to send an occasional small package with stamps rather than having to go to the post office.I bought a 9v battery for it and after intalling it and testing it several times I realized that it wasn't going to work.When I took the scale apart I discovered that it was basically an electrical resistance meter and that the problem was an electronic one that I could not fix.So If you need a small postal scale I would recommend a mechanical one rather than this one.

Summary: This scale has been wonderful!
Review: I purchased this scale when I was mailing a lot of small packages amd letters. In conjunction with an online postage provider, the way I handled shipping was changed completely! No more trips to the post office just to find out the weight of my package in order to affix the correct postage. It holds the display for a few seconds so that if you have to move the package out of the way, the display is still there for you to read the weight. I have dropped it several times, and it just keeps going. For the price, I thought it was a great purchase.

Summary: Watch out--After battery change, error increased
Review: The ex5 worked well until I changed the battery. Then it did the worst possible thing: it acted like it was working correctly but gave readings that were off by 10%. It was too little error to notice right away but enough to cause mischief. It took me weeks to figure out what was going on. I hate to knock a product but also nobody else should suffer with this.
