It is a compact black desktop scale with an LCD display, a tare function so you can weigh contents inside a satchel or carton, and a hold feature that locks the reading for ten seconds when the parcel hides the screen. It draws power over the supplied USB lead or from three AAA batteries, not included, and shuts off when left idle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoosing between the three models comes down to one question: what is the heaviest thing you post. The M2 reads to 2kg, the M5 to 5kg and the M10 to 10kg. Go too small and the scale gives you an overload indication instead of a weight, which leaves you guessing the bracket at the counter. The M5 is the sensible default for anyone shipping clothing, books, homewares or multi item orders, where a 2kg ceiling is reached faster than people expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive kilograms covers most Australia Post satchels and small carton consignments. DYMO does not publish a trade approval for its postal scales, so use the M5 to work out your own postage rather than to sell goods by weight. Step up to the M10 if you regularly send heavier cartons.
