Borrowed some from a friend, they weighed within a few kilos of the load cells we use at work for weighting machinery.

Yes and yes.
I imported mine from Germany as that was the cheapest internet version.
I bought the 1500 kgs version as van is uprated to 4,100 kgs on 4 wheels.
Accurate to 10 kgs when checked against local weighbridge but which is more accurate is up for debate and the weighbridge only went up in 10s so they could both have been accurate.
I have a motorbike in the garage and an overhead unused bed (mostly) so i can now pack copious amounts of wine in the front and KNOWING what i have got on board and if i have too much on one side or not.
I m not normally particularly anal about this type of thing but i had some spare dosh and thought it would come in useful so i bought one.
Have a weigh before i leave, shows me i have about 550 kgs without water but loaded up with everything else, came back with 3,850 loaded with water and wine and beer and spirits and baccy and cheese etc so i know that if my new motorbike goes in at 100 kgs heavier than the present one then i dont have an issue rather than the constant guessing and thinking i am ok.

Still amazed on aires when the subject is raised how many ppl dont want to know how much weight they have in their motor.

Would i buy one again ? Yes
