We tried setting one up.

Gave up in frustration with all the stupid settings one has to go through to measure powder!

And it has an APP too!

Has stupidity r3ached this level now?

Why cannot we have a simple way to measure powder, like their old one?

So they can convince people to buy the new and improved version.

The handbook had - I am not kidding - almost a whole page of different types of powders one has to set before being able to through a charge!

Each type has a code one has to enter before a charge is dropped!

I am absolutely certain whoever designed this is related to Kamala Word Salad!

There a Grain of truth in that :-)

I use the old Chargemaster. I had a lot of trouble with it holding accuracy initially but then figured out the normal utility voltage and frequency drift was affecting it negatively. Once I plugged it into the UPS it's been very accurate.

I have been using the CHARGEMASTER 1500 for years.

Works great.

Only reason I got the new one was for its speed.

Companies no longer design tools for their intended purpose.

They are designed by IDIOTS!

Thanks. I won’t be “upgrading.”

I think these companies have lost the ability to design electronic tools that are simple to use.

They go crazy including a thousand different options and settings, all of which are painfully difficult to decipher and 999 of which no one will ever use.

Went to buy a Nespresso coffee machine.

The lady there was trying so hard to sell me a SMART machine.

I said “smart means a machine that decides what to do?”

“Yes sir. It does everything automatically!”

“Does it drink the coffee too?”

She started laughing.

“No sir. It makes the coffee and you drink it!”

“How does it know what sort of coffee I want?”

“You program it in sir!”

I had two friends with me, and two lady customers in the shop.

Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and just stood there laughing!

“That is where the problem is. I wouldn’t know how to program it. So, can I have a machine that just makes coffee when I turn it on? That is about as much programming my brain is capable of when it comes to coffee!”

“Yes sir. This model is very simple. You just turn it on, put a coffee pod in and press either of these two buttons. One for Expresso and one for Americano”

One of my friends said “perfect! Simple machine for simple minds!”

Everyone burst out La.

I bought the simple machine!

Join the que!

I have tried about a dozen powder measures and an Lyman electronic dispenser. The dispenser sits on the bench looking sophisticated and gathering dust because its accuracy is less consistent than the average PM.
My favorite anymore has become the old Belding and Mull. Yes, its a little fiddly. But it is on the nut every time. No trickling necessary, ever! Just drop a charge and go.
