One thing that needs to be improved on the GemPro 250 is the plastic lid. It is too small. I realize that the small size of the scale itself means the lid has to be small but it would help if they made the clear plastic lid taller. I have found that the use of the lid is a necessity because of the sensitivity of the scale, especially to air currents. Even with the ceiling fan off and the air conditioning/heater off there will be a difference in weight with the lid open or closed, maybe I am breathing too hard. The GemPro comes with a very small plastic pan with just small tabs to hold it with. I have modified another deeper plastic pan to work but it has to be on the scale just right for the lid to clear. I have thought about making a small metal pan to fit to avoid the static electricity that sometimes happens with the plastic pan which I have to wipe with a clothes dryer anti static cloth. I have learned to deal with most of the issues but as I said in my prior post I have to send it off for repair which will be a test of their customer service.Gman said:
My wife mentioned using a small clear glass cake/pastry top to set over the scale. She said at one time we had one that was about 6 inches in diameter and 4 inches tall with a knob on top but it broke when one of the grandkids dropped it. I am sure they would also come in plastic but may not be as clear to look through. I just asked her to find me one.BoydAllen said:
Thanks for the quick find but the 6 inch one will be to small. The GemPro is about 7 inches diagonal so a 8 inch cover would work. I put a 8 inch plastic bowl over it and it fit good. I did see some clear 12 inch covers on the internet but will look for a 8 inch clear. Let us know if you find one. Thanks for your effort.dickn52 said:
