 Great scale, dies quickJul 12, 2010
I purchased this scale back in April, 2010. I bake by weight, so I use my scales at least a half dozen times a week. This scale worked great for three months, then suddenly had problems in the display. The top half of the entire display simply quit working, which renders it useless. The warranty only covers it for 30 days, so that's $35 down the drain.
I had a My Weigh 6001 that worked great for a couple of years; this new model lasted a fraction of the time. Save your money and purchase a different scale.
 Useful in a limited capacity and for a limited time. Warranty questionable.Jun 12, 2010
I bought the scale in March 2006 for $35. It did not work right when upon receipt. There is a plastic weigh platform that sits on a flat piece of metal. There are 2 alignment holes with the plastic platform and the metal platform plus 4 others that align with the plastic case of the scale. These were not in agreement. With some tools I changed the metal platform alignment so the plastic platform would align with the scale case.
Some people found the slow power on a problem (about 3-5 s) but I never did. What was an annoyance was the slow response to a change in weight. I would frequently want to weigh out a fixed amount by adding/removing small amounts of the material of the order of 10 g or less to get to the desired weight. It would take 3 s or more for the scale to adjust the displayed weight. I found that if you touched the scale so that the weight change was say 100 g then the scale would adjust right away. So it was an annoying routine of adding/removing material, touching the scale to see the adjusted weight.
The scale has 5 buttons: Hold, Units, Calibration? (not sure and can't try it now that the scale is dead), Tare and On/off toggle. I never used hold and set the units to grams throughout the life of the scale. The tare function was convenient. It would also show a negative amount in cases you had used the tare and then removed the item. I did have problems seeing the display with bulky items on the scale but found a workaround by using a colander as a weigh platform with the tare function. The range was 0 to 7 kg with a resolution of 1 g throughout the entire range. I never did a problem with accuracy but then I never looked. There was a slight problem with drift while an item was on the scale but it was less than 1 g. The scale comes with a 30 yr warranty.
The plastic weigh platform was not durable. It did not take long for scratches and wear to appear and that was with proper care.
I bought the scale with the AC adapter so I can't address battery life.
I used it 2-3x a week and after 3 years I was having problems with the on/off switch. There is a button that toggles back and forth from on and off. After a while when trying to turn the scale from on to off, it would repeat the power on sequence and stay turned on.
Finally after 4 years I heard this beeping sound and found the scale was automatically powering itself on, displaying a message, beeping after 3 minutes or so and powering on again. I went to the website and found a page on warranty information and an online manual. There was nothing in the online manual about this problem so I followed the warranty information and warranty card instructions. These are to send the filled out warranty card, copy of original receipt and the scale to the address on the warranty card which I did. About 10 days later the scale came back undeliverable to the address on the package. I checked and the address matched the warranty card. I found on the website there is a form for technical support which I filled out. I told them I had spent $7.62 to send the scale and the address was invalid. They replied in 2 days saying to send in the scale and gave me a different address but said nothing about the previous mailing attempt. I replied saying I wanted an adjustment for the previous mailing but never did get a response. So I quit doing business with My Weigh and have found another vendor.
My Weigh 7001 Digital scaleJan 19, 2010
Great scale very accurate, easy to read display, very good weight limit at 15lbs for such a small unit. Comes with handy accessories included and even the batteries to power it. I find the plastic bin that is made to fit the weight platform very handy when I use it to measure out coffee beans prior to roasting them. This scale is much better than the previous one I had. I would recommend this scale. I researched a good bit prior to buying and this scale got good reviews everywhere I looked.
 Great for weighing packagesJan 05, 2010
I bought this to weigh packages so I can buy postage online. I have used this for 2 years with no trouble or packages returned due to insufficient postage. I don't do a high volume but have shipped at least 50 packages. The batteries have not needed replaced yet.
It is also good to find out how much random stuff weighs because sometimes I am just curious.
The only complaint is that the clear plastic tray slips off occasionaly when I use it to support very large boxes that would otherwise obstruct my view of the readout.
Great scale, but dead after 10 month, a dozen usesSep 17, 2009
it is an accurate scale, I made some great dishes with it, bread and cakes. But it dead on me after 10 months of light use, used about a dozen times. Shame on me that I lost the warranty card. Called the customer service and was told that they can fix it for a fee, which is greater than the cost of a new one. so you do the math.
