Instructions are not helpful, but the scale works.
The instructions for this scale were clearly not written by an English speaker, so they are nearly impossible to understand (and kind of funny because they read like a mad lib). Here's what you need to know... When you insert the batteries, you actually need to flip-flop the +/- ends of the batteries so you're doing the opposite of what the image in the battery holder shows (or at least I did). There's also a button on the underside of the scale that you need to press to tare the scale when you put it on a new surface (it reads differently on nearly every surface in my house). When you tare it, it shows 3 lb. because that's the weight of the scale. That being said, the scale does seem to work pretty accurately.
