I got this scale just for the "upscale" look. It's sleek metal with glass. They state that the lithium battery lasts a long time, so we'll see. It does take four rotations of the `zeros' to fly by before your weight is shown (to the half pound). It looks great and it's cheap. It's thick glass, so if your weight shows more than you expected, you can toss this sucker across the room and it won't break!
UPDATE: Almost five years and it is still working on the same battery!

I've had this scale for over 4 years. It has moved with me three times. It looks great, and the glass design makes your bathroom look bigger because you can see through to the floor. It is a fabulous scale and very consistent. I don't notice any of the problems listed in the negative reviews and plan to buy one for my parents. I have noticed that it takes 1-2 extra tries when it's cold (below 50 degrees). My battery still works great after 4 years, and I use the scale 3-4 times a day. I love this scale!!

This scale is not really "PRO" per se. Got this exact model for $50 at Sammy's club, but, it isn't very accurate.
It claims a resolution of 1.6 ounces, but when I place 6+ ounces on it, it registers as ZERO! I am very good with technology and tried everything like re-taring it while it was empty, etc., but nothing worked :( I also called their support and did get to talk to a real person in India, but the reply I got was to take the batteries out, wait 10 minutes, and then put them back ;( Big surprise, it didn't work. I guess it's pretty hard for tech support when they know they are dealing with a product that just WON'T measure accurately by design. No amount of Indian tech support can fix the broken products that these out-of-touch companies churn out.

I experienced the same issue with the scale. unless I placed heavy items of at least 40 pounds on the scale, it would not activate. I certainly won't register a small package of 3 or 4 pounds. Going back to Sam's as well.

You have to be kidding me. That is the response I was given when I called customer support in India as to WHY my scale would not power up with the batteries or adapter. I asked her why it would make a difference and if each unit had to be started this way. She said yes so I asked her why that wasn't in the instructions and she had no answer. I was Highly doubtful that taking the batteries out had anything to do as to why the unit would not power up. I was correct in my assumptions. Remote looks perfect!
It's heading back to Sam's Club tonight, just a few hours after purchase for $50.

I use this for checking gold ore samples in the field as well as general looking at the microscopic world.
The LED light is great but I did have one problem. I left it on and the next time I tried to use it the light would not work.... dead batteries. Unfortunately the batteries cost near $5 each times 3= $15.
All is not lost however. The Rite Aid (Pharmacy) had hearing aid batteries that, while not the same type as the listed required batteries, were the same physical size but were 1.4 volts instead of 1.5. I did not feel that this would be an issue and decided to try it. They worked just fine and were $16 for 24 of them, so about $.67 each. Much better and I now have 8 changes in case I forget to turn it off again.
The replacement type I found was Size 312, hearing aid batteries.

This review is from: Carson MM-200 Carson Micromax LED 60X-100X LED Lighted Pocket Microscope (Sports)
The Carson MM-200 is a fantastic bit of equipment. The size is just slightly larger than what the photo shows on the product page. It is TINY!! The product quality, however, is excellent. It has a great LED lamp, and I haven't had it long enough to comment on the battery life. It is WAY better than the previous ones I have owned with regular little bulbs which gives everything an orange hue, or the LED ones which are flimsy as heck.
I use it for various things: from checking out small bug-things on plants to fine details on stamps or even just my arm (for a laugh!). It really is quite versatile and has great magnification!
Now for the bad. It is TINY!!! The knobs are a bit fiddly specially when you're using one hand and need to adjust the focus. The other pocket scopes I have tried usually have a larger gripping area and larger dials. Hopefully it will loosen up with some use.
Other than its size (which I do very much like for convenience, but... Read more

i actually bought this so i can inspect plant resin on my flowers to see when they are ready to harvest. but i find it's so easy to get carried away with it. wall's, carpet, leaves, pet fur, sugar on the table, bugs, dirt, lol if it was in my house i inspected it. it's lots of fun. i only wish i could see the air on a microscopic level. but we cant have everything. all in all its a great buy.
