I used one of those scales for a number of months and many, many rounds. I agree that it's a very good scale for the money, but with a couple caveats.

First, it won't last long, a year if you're really lucky.

Second, it eats batteries like candy, and you can't milk the batteries either, once they start to lose power the scale becomes very erratic. My experience showed that around 8 hours use is the maximum before replacing batteries. So the low initial cost of the scale is rapidly negated.

If you have no other choice, it's a good start, but I suggest upgrading as soon as possible to something like the RCBS 750, which I think is a far nicer scale. If you load a lot of rounds, you'll be financially further ahead with an AC powered scale, such as the 750, in no time.
