Background of the new 3001P / 7001DX series
In 1998 My Weigh Scale Company introduced the original 3001 and 6001 series scales.  They were a huge success and My Weigh sold more than 100,000 units during their production.  However My Weigh made one fatal mistake - MyWeigh Scale Company neglected to file design patents for the scale design and in 2001 various copies of the 3001/6001 original design began showing up in the marketplace.  My Weigh set out to design a new model (patenting the new design of course).  The improved scale design has all of the features and innovations that customers had asked for over the years.

Basic improvements included the development of My Weigh's own software program and IC chips with advanced functions.  My




An adjustable or disable-able auto off feature.   This is very important to consumers because there are times that you may want to use your scale continuously for a long period of time.  If the scale was turning itself off every 5 minutes (for example), this could really interfere with your work.  Other times you might want to conserve power and have the scale turn off automatically after 1 minute of use.

An adjustable audible beep function.   Some people want to hear a "beep" whenever they press a button as confirmation.  Other people get very annoyed by this and want the scale to be silent.  Thus we made our beep function with an electronic on/off feature.

An adjustable backlight time.   When you turn on the backlight of your scale - do you want it to remain on indefinitely - or would you like it to turn off after 30 seconds to conserve power?  With the 7001 you can decide how long the backlight should stay on for.

A HOLD feature.   We were often asked to add a HOLD feature to our scales.  People complained that they would put an oversized box on the scale and couldn't read the display.  So, My Weigh added a HOLD feature that holds the weight of an item on the display (simply put the box on the scale and press HOLD, then you can remove the box and see what the weight was on the display).

An adjustable angle display.   A common consumer complaint about the old 3001 and other kitchen scales is that it was difficult to read the numbers on the display.  This is caused by a multitude of reasons but the biggest has always been viewing angle.  It is impossible to design a fixed - angle display that can encompass all customers' needs.  This is because every kitchen and office has a slightly different counter height AND every consumer's eyeballs are at different heights (this also varies due to varying shoes, distance from the scale, room lighting, reflections, glare and much more).  These factors had to be considered over and over again.  MyWeigh's engineers realized the only solution was to invent and adjustable angle display.  This way the consumer can move the angle of the display up or down until they find the optimum viewing angle.  Next the scale designers made the display more than 3X larger then the previous display and added a backlight.  Now MyWeigh is confident they have overcome the viewing angle problem entirely, and that the new 3001/7001 is the best designed kitchen office scale ever created to date.

The next improvement was in the area of Modes.   Customers had specific needs, and MyWeigh needed to accommodate every postal / shipping company.  The new 3001P/7001DX digital scale reads in Pounds:Ounces,  Pounds,  Grams, Kilograms.  This is very important because in the USA some people need their scale to display 5 1/4 pounds as "5lb : 4.0oz" and some people need it to be shown as "5.250 lb".  Likewise for Kilograms some people need 2.5 kilograms to be displayed as "2.500 kg" and some people need it to be shown as "2500 g".

One common mistake made by less-knowledgeable companies is to make their digital scales read in a straight Ounce mode.  We have rarely had a customer need 5 1/4 pounds to be displayed as "84.0 oz".  However MyWeigh still has included that straight ounce mode just in case you need it - Please be careful and read the fine print if you consider a non My Weigh scale. 

Last but not least we designed intuitive attachments.   Based on the wildly successful Ultraship scale by MyWeigh the designers included a deluxe letter holder that can hold both small individual letters and large padded envelopes for the 7001DX model.  It has a telescoping design so it can accommodate letters of every size.  Next they designed a mail tube holder that cradles mail tubes - rather then crushing them as pop up covers often do.  The tube and envelope attachments cradle items like a mother holding a baby, rather then the damaging compression technique used by older pop-up covers.  Note - only the 7001DX come with the attachments - holder.

Last but not least My Weigh designed a large square acrylic bowl which we include with both the 3001P & 7001DX scale.  This bowl fits snugly on the 3001P/7001DX.

The 3001P and 7001DX are the standard by which all other kitchen and office scales will now be judged.  There is simply no better mid-sized scale for your home, office or kitchen.
