Tanita 1475T Scale – High Capacity (1200g) & Precision

The Tanita 1475T Scale is widely recognized in the community as the "all-terrain vehicle" of weighing tools, offering a massive 1200g capacity while fitting perfectly in your pocket. Unlike standard mini-scales that max out at 100g or 200g, this device allows you to weigh substantial amounts of material in a single go, maintaining the reliability and durability that the Japanese brand Tanita is famous for.

Why do you need the Tanita 1475T?

Are you tired of having to weigh your harvest in ten different batches because your pocket scale gives you an "Error" message as soon as you exceed 200 grams? It is incredibly frustrating to have a good yield and waste hours dividing buds into tiny piles just to get a total weight, not to mention the math errors that usually happen along the way.

Using a low-capacity scale for a large volume of work is not only tedious but also leads to accumulated inaccuracies. Every time you weigh a separate batch, you introduce a margin of error, and by the end of the day, you might be missing several grams. Plus, cheap scales tend to lose calibration when pushed to their limit, leaving you unsure if that bag really weighs what the screen says.

The Tanita 1475T is the definitive solution to this headache. By offering a capacity of up to 1.2 kg (1200g), it allows you to weigh full bags or large trays in a single operation. It gives you the power of a desktop scale with the convenience of a portable device, ensuring you get the job done fast and with total confidence.

The pocket giant for your day-to-day

Imagine finishing your manicure process and being able to weigh the entire result of your work at once. The Tanita 1475T changes your workflow completely. Its design is ingenious: the protective cover detaches and turns into a large expansion tray. This means you don't need to balance a bowl precariously on a tiny surface; the scale adapts to the volume you need to handle.

Furthermore, it is one of the few scales for cannabis that bridges the gap between precision and bulk handling. While it fits in a jacket pocket, it behaves like laboratory equipment. Whether you are dividing a harvest into Zip Hermetic Bags or just checking your stock, this tool gives you the peace of mind that the numbers are real.

How to use the Tanita 1475T correctly

Getting the most out of this scale is simple, but following the right steps ensures its legendary longevity. Here is how to operate it:

1. Preparation: Place the scale on a completely flat, stable surface away from air currents (fans or AC) and vibrations.
2. Expansion: Remove the protective cover and, if you are weighing loose material (like buds), place the cover upside down on the weighing platform to use it as a tray.
3. Power On: Press the "ON" button. Wait a couple of seconds until the display shows "0" or "0.0".
4. Tare: If you are using the cover as a tray or your own container, press the TARE button to reset the counter to zero effectively subtracting the container's weight.
5. Weighing: Place your material gently in the center of the tray. Wait for the number to stabilize.
6. Shutdown: Although it has an auto-off function to save battery, it is best to turn it off manually when you are done.

Key advantages and benefits

• 1200g Capacity: Allows you to weigh over a kilo at a time. Benefit: You save huge amounts of time by not having to weigh in small batches.
• Detachable Cover/Tray: The lid converts into a weighing bowl. Benefit: You don't need extra accessories to weigh loose herbs without making a mess.
• 1g Precision: Accurate measurements for medium to large volumes. Benefit: Perfect for weighing harvests or cooking ingredients without the fluctuation of ultra-sensitive scales.
• Compact Dimensions (142 x 87 x 13 mm): Extremely thin and light. Benefit: You can transport a "heavy-duty" scale discreetly in any bag or large pocket.
• Tare Function: Resets weight to zero with a container on top. Benefit: You get the net weight of your product instantly, ignoring the weight of the bag or rolling tray you are using.

Care and maintenance

The Tanita 1475T is built to last, but it is a precision instrument. To keep it calibrated for years, never exceed the maximum weight of 1200g, as this can permanently damage the load sensor. Avoid dropping it or hitting it, as this is the #1 cause of death for digital scales.

Keep the platform clean and dry. If you are not going to use it for a long time, remove the batteries (it uses 3 x LR44) to prevent leakage that could fry the circuits. Clean the exterior only with a damp cloth, never submerge it in water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it come with batteries included?

Yes, the Tanita 1475T comes with 3 LR44 batteries included, so it is ready to work right out of the box.

Can I use it to weigh 0.1g or 0.01g amounts?

No, this scale has a precision (readability) of 1 gram. It is designed for larger quantities (bulk, harvests, cooking). If you need to weigh micro-doses or very small extracts, you should look for a 0.1g or 0.01g precision scale in our catalog.

How do I know if it is calibrated?

Tanita scales come factory calibrated with high standards. If you treat it well, it rarely needs recalibration. If you suspect it's off, you can check it using a standard calibration weight (not included).

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've had a Tanita 1475T in my drawer for at least 5 years, and it's the one I grab when I need to weigh a full harvest bag. Most pocket scales feel like toys compared to this one. The plastic feels dense and quality, and the fact that the cover turns into a tray is a feature I use every single time.

Just be clear on what you are buying: this is a workhorse for volume. If you want to weigh 0.5 grams of hash, this isn't the tool. But if you want to know if that bag holds exactly 500 grams or 1 kilo without going crazy adding up little piles, the 1475T is the best investment you can make. It simply doesn't fail.
