Question: Why do batteries have to be replaced so often?
Document: Yes to all the things said in the positive reviews; very accurate, stylish and easy to use. The delay it works through is a little bothering but not a deal breaker.No, the deal breaker is how it goes through batteries. We just assumed the first set was already drained some when we replaced them after three weeks. We've had to replace them every three-four weeks since then.We are a typical household of four, we don't eat out very often so we do lots of cooking.
Replaced batteries, and all is working fine again.
This scale didn't work that well to begin with. I thought it needed new batteries so I ordered some here and replaced them and it still doesn't work. The manual doesn't provide clear instructions for what to do if replacing the batteries doesn't fix the issue. Sadly it's going in the recycle bin now.
I purchased this in September and it just quit working last week, mid-January. I thought it was a low battery and replaced the batteries but it still wouldn't come on except to read&#34;LO&#34; and wouldn't weigh anything. It worked perfect the first few months, though.
When I first started using the scale, the low battery indicator came on after only 2 weeks. I assumed that the batteries that came with the scale were partially discharged, or duds, or whatever, so I replaced them (it takes 2 CR-2032 batteries). These lasted about a month. Replaced them again. A month.
It can weigh lb/oz or kg/g. The capacity is decent. It also claims to have a fluid oz and ml "weighing" function. Although, they're not accurate because volume will always depend on density.It does the job but it's not exceptional. 3/5 stars.edit 9/23/13I contacted the company and they replaced the batteries free of charge. The customer service from this company was excellent.
While it may look pretty on your counter top, prepare to change batteries frequently and deal with inaccuracy. I use it to measure out my meals on a daily basis spending about 1 min or less per use. After about two or three weeks, the batteries have to be replaced. The batteries are not cheap either so that's an added expense you will have to deal with. The most important function I need it for is accuracy. For whatever reason, I've seen it off by 10-20g.
I knew that the scale had its wiggy features but I liked its sleekness and elegance and since it was just sporadic, I decided to keep it. Then it started using up batteries, I replaced them 5 times in a few months. Today, it now is just bouncing around, flashing all kinds of numbers and so forth and completely useless.I sent an email to Ozeri. I hope they agree to replace it. Given the number of positive reviews, most people have a good experience.
I would not purchase this item again or would I recommend it to others. It burns through the batteries like someone else is paying for them .. They are not cheap and I notice that it goes to half battery very quickly .. I do not use it often but it still burns up the batteries! ...
I tried to weigh a micro amount of yeast and it would not register the lowest amount which is advertised but I found some mini measuring spoons which work to measure micro pinches of the yeast. I have been using the scale for 3 months and hope I do not need to change the batteries often.
Answer: It just goes through them quickly and they are the button cell batteries so they are more expensive. Great scale though. We used it daily for each meal and snacks. So maybe that is why we went through it quickly. However we got a new scale that takes double AA batteries and we use it just as much. However, we have not had to change them yet. By now we would have had to replace this scale twice. I really like this scale because it has the "mg" setting, but I just was sick of buying batteries.
