It may be that all of these scales are made by the same company or
companies.
There were two problems with my Gemini scale compared to the ones marked
Mini Digital Scale. The main one was that the buttons were almost flush
with the case and had a very indefinite feel. The other was that the
display was considerably smaller.
I said in a previous post that one of the two $12 10 gram scales I bought
had quit working. When I tried it again yesterday it was working okay. I'm
not sure what was wrong before.
I also bought another of the generic scales after dousing my original one
with thinned Duco. After I freed up the buttons it worked okay so the new
one is just a backup.
I think it makes sense to have at least two of these scales on hand so you
can compare the readings. That will give you a quick alert if one of them
craps out.
I would never go back to a beam balance!
