Better than 1% accurate, but limited display angle; 3xAA batteries NOT included
The LCD display reads OK when the scale is at or above eye level, but it is nearly impossible to read if you are looking down at it. The Amazon description says 2x AAA batteries are included. What I received (blue color model) takes 3x AA batteries and they were NOT included, so I took off one star for that. Apart from that, it seems to work fine. It includes one more tiny thing not shown in the photo, a U-shaped cotter pin that goes through the threaded end of the shackle bolt after assembly, to stop it from working loose.  I made a webbing sling and weighed myself with it. It says 176.3 pounds (repeatably) and my Tanita HD-317 bathroom scale says 175.8 pounds. Tanita claims theirs is accurate to 0.2 pounds. I don't have an calibrated proof mass, but at least they agree within 0.3%.  It seems to have kg as "native" units with 0.1 kg resolution. The pounds and newtons are converted from that reading, so the readout changes in steps of about 0.2 pounds and 0.9 newtons.  When you turn it on it auto-zeros, so if it's turned on with a load and then unloaded, the reading goes negative.
