Thank you all for your assistance in this, I never paid any attention to the “mode” button being spelt incorrectly, I have a return set up in place for both scales through Amazon so I am. It anticipating any problems, but if for some reason there are, I still have my order information for each that I will send directly to the aws email on their site and have them settle it.
I guess I really took one for everybody, finger has been inserted deeply inside back end, to the knuckle for everyone, I can say it hurts lol.
Thanks for all your help, when I get that truweigh scale I’ll update you on it.
I will send pictures of the boxes tomorrow, I can’t believe I’ve helped uncover a slime seller like this with everyone’s help.
Never gave it a thought that the numbers looked different as mentioned from the 1st one I bought, I just figured they have changed the display between most of you all getting it and me.
I’ll take pictures of everything and send them to AWS as well but they’re both set up for a refund/return so they’ll be going back either Thursday or Friday at the latest.
anyways all it proves so far is there is serious QC issues not sure if the performance has changed at all. sometimes cosmetic changes are made because of supply chain issues but yea i will say i doubt its only cosmetic
probably tarriff related
@Kev it appears the seller you bought it from is in fact AWS not a reseller. they made some “changes” to this model
Have you tried weighing random stuff with the scale? retesting things for accuracy and speed etc
Yeah they both function very well, but turning off when plugged in isn’t what I was hoping for.
They’re scheduled for a refund with Amazon for a refund/return on both, but the lady I’m in contact with at AWS will be getting some pictures of the boxes, order numbers from Amazon and other stuff so she can have more information
I bought this one 6 years ago for under 5$ with shipping included and i wouldn’t change it for a new 501. Even if it was talking. Even if they give one extra for free. If i’ll ever have to buy another one, i would buy one of these. I finally had to change the batteries 10 months ago. And 0.001g is so handy at my mixing amounts. Just sayin…
