Choosing between lab balances scales often comes down to a simple tension: how much capacity do you need, and how much are you comfortable spending? The two balances here both display readings to 0.01g, but they are positioned very differently. The new SASVY Digital Lab Scale is listed at USD 51.99, while the used Ohaus SPX2202 is listed at USD 206.15 - an absolute spread of about USD 154.16. That gap matters, but so does the difference in capacity and condition.
Quick verdict
Pick the SASVY when you want a new scale for lighter weighing jobs and a lower upfront cost. Pick the Ohaus SPX2202 when a 2200g capacity is essential and you are okay with a used unit whose calibration certification is no longer current.

What to weigh first
Before deciding, think about the heaviest sample you routinely place on a balance. The SASVY stops at 1000g, so anything heavier requires a different tool. The Ohaus SPX2202 extends to 2200g, which gives you room for larger beakers, filters, or batch weights. Also consider how the unit will be used: the SASVY lists Medical Laboratory, Jewellery, and Food as intended uses, while the Ohaus lists Medical Laboratory. Both are analytical balance type with 0.01g readability, so precision is not the dividing line here.
Where each product wins
- SASVY Digital Lab Scale 1000g x 0.01g Precision Balance: Lower listed price, new condition, and extra functions such as tare, unit conversion, and piece counting.
- Ohaus SPX2202 Precision Balance 2200g x 0.01g Tested Working Lab Scale: Larger capacity, United States origin, and the title phrase Tested Working suggests a functional unit.
Product notes
SASVY Digital Lab Scale 1000g x 0.01g Precision Balance
The SASVY is the lower-priced option at USD 51.99, and it arrives as a new unit intended for medical laboratory, jewellery, and food tasks. Its 1000g capacity is enough for smaller samples, and the LCD backlit display plus tare, unit conversion, and piece-counting functions make it easy to use across different jobs. If you often weigh more than 1000g, the capacity will be the main constraint. Also note the listed country of origin is China and power comes from 2 AAA batteries. For a compact new scale at this listed price, it is a sensible starting point.
Ohaus SPX2202 Precision Balance 2200g x 0.01g Tested Working Lab Scale
The Ohaus SPX2202 carries a USD 206.15 listed price and brings a higher 2200g capacity, which is the clearest advantage when you need to weigh heavier samples. This is a used unit, previously in a research laboratory, and the title says Tested Working. The balance was maintained on an annual calibration schedule, but the calibration certification is not current because it was removed from service during the final calibration cycle. If your work requires a currently certified calibration certificate, this unit will not provide that. Otherwise, the larger capacity and United States origin make it a strong contender for laboratory work.
Final choice by use case
If your routine is small-sample lab, jewellery, or food weighing and a new unit at USD 51.99 is a priority, choose the SASVY Digital Lab Scale. If you need more capacity for heavier samples and can accept a used balance with a non-current calibration certification, the Ohaus SPX2202 is the better fit. Both give you 0.01g readability, so the final call comes down to capacity, condition, and how much you want to spend.
