I just bought this scale, unboxed it, and was attempting to figure it out. The instructions aren't the easiest to follow. For example, I did read where it says to remove the black tabs but doesn't say how. Honestly, I was afraid to try. I didn't want to break it. The different ways to weigh the items weren't the clearest either. Your video brought everything together clearly. Thank you so much. Just so that you're aware, I am a man. Maybe that's where the problem lay. 😁 Thank you!
Very helpful interview, thank you. Has anyone been using this scale for a long time? I want a scale, but I am torn between the less expensive models like this one and the more expensive Oxo Good Grips scale. On the one hand, I would rather spend $15 than $55, but if the less expensive scales are not very accurate and/or they peter out after only a few months to a couple of years with relatively light use, then it makes more sense to buy the Oxo. Reviews are all over the place, too, so this is why I ask for opinions of people who have used the Mainstays scale for quite a long time and can tell me what to expect in terms of accuracy and longevity.
You're actually not using the Tare function correctly. The Tare is the container. It should be deducted when measuring the net weight of an item. Set the container on the scale, then press the Tare button and the scale will zero. Now everything put into the container is only measured. In other words, the net weight of the item to be weighed, w/o the container weight.
Whenever I use it to measure something, the number in the weight scale keeps going up and up, and never stops at the exact weight of the item or food I am weighing. Help me please.
I just bought the slim version of this yesterday and I turned it on after reading the instructions and weighed 3 pieces of turkey breast sliced and it said 007.5 lbs/oz wth does that mean? I'm looking to see how many oz because I need 2oz for one serving.
You can follow the process to turn it on with the empty container. It will calibrate to 0 with the empty container. Then, pour the liquid into the container to measure it.
I liked the demonstration I have one that has a toggle for grams and ml. but you cant tare it and add it like a stopwatch lap. it just falls double negatives. @@Jean78578

Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Simple and easy to understand. I was thinking about going to Walmart to buy this scale. Now I’m most definitely will buy it.
Glad it was helpful!

Oh I love this! ❤️
Very helpful…thank you ❤
You’re welcome 😊
Amazing
Yes. It's a neat little scale..
Whenever I use it to measure something, the number in the weight scale keeps going up and up, and never stops at the exact weight of the item or food I am weighing. Help me please.
Make sure you turn the scale on with nothing on it to allow it to calibrate to zero. If that doesn't help, I would return it.
SAME!

How are we suppose to measure liquids or is this not the type of scale for that?

Thank's, whats the lil degree symbol about. Power "on"@@Jean78578
ohhh nvm. thanks
You measure liquids with different measurements it’s not by weight but by mass
Great video ! Thank you
Thank you!
