   As it happens, I already had a scale I’ve been using for many years. I found I needed a 2nd one. I opted to try this one even though a fair # of people had pictures claiming the scale was inaccurate.The problem is that they are weighing filled cans, not the contents. The weight specified on a package represents the packaged weight (“net weight”) and does not include the package such as the can or jar.As you can see from the pictures I posted, I weighed first a cup (pics 1 & 2) and in the 2nd a bow/cup/storage container (pics 3 & 4). The results are the same. (Note the 1 gram difference in the last 2 pictures is because my cat jumped up on the counter and bumped everything just as I shot the picture. I didn’t think it was worth taking another picture for just 1 gram.)When testing the scale, start with an empty container and tare the weight. In other words, reset the scale to zero with the bowl on it. (See the 5th pic.) You can accomplish by 2 different ways:(1) with the scale turned off, set the container on the scale and then turn it on. It will be set to zero with the bowl on top not being included.(2) after the scale is on, set the bowl (or other container) on top of the scale and press the “tare” button once (it’s the secondary function of the on/off button on the right)Then add the contents of the container and compare it with the Net Weight on the container (6th pic; ignore scale). Note, that you will have to carefully scrape out every little bit in order to get an accurate result. (7th pic). The contents stated on the can of cat food and the amount I weighed are identical.Note: you may get some discrepancies because it’s usually impossible to get each and every bit out of the container. I had the help of a small spatula to aid with removing all the contents. But even so, don’t be surprised if you have about 10-20 g difference from the net weight.The only true method for determining if a scale is truly accurate is to compare it to another scale and weigh the exact same items.

   I needed a scale to adapt for the weight of a container & provide easy to read measurements for medications. It works great!!!It is so easy to use I will also be using it for cooking & weights on mail I am sending out so I can calculate postage. This product exceeded my expectations. I have been using it daily for about 3 weeks. I just slip it on top of my microwave between uses ( I have low upper cabinets).Light & slim but feels durable. I can have fumble fingers. In fact I spilled sugar all over and I just tapped off the excess and wiped it clean in one second.

   I bought this because it was cheap. It works pretty well but I find it slow to respond. I need to measure chemicals down to the gram level while slowly sprinkling them into the container on the scale. The scale response is accurate, but slow. I often find I’ve overshot the amount I need and have to remove a pinch.I probably should have bought a scale that indicated 10ths of a gram so I could sneak up on the value I need.Otherwise, the scale is easy to use and is well build.

   How we use it:1. We like to try cooking dishes from other cultures and most countries use metric, so a scale that does grams is really handy for following those recipes.2. If a recipe calls for 2 lb. potatoes and the bag has 5 lb., we can be sure we are using the correct amount.3. Though the scale is not certified to be used as a postal scale, when I’m not sure if a letter is overweight I weigh it. If it’s close to the limit I add extra postage. The few cents I might be overpaying is worth it compared to a trip to stand in line at the post office.

   I’ve been getting annoyed at recipes that call for grams vs. cups or ounces, so I finally broke down and got this scale. Came overnight, which was great. VERY easy to use, has both metric and us, including a tare function (zero out scale with device holding food so you can weight inside of vessel you are using!). This is probably standard, but I found it very nice, as well as easy to use. Mostly stainless and plastic, so looks pretty nice. Also, small, so easy to keep both out of the way and easy to access at the same time. Excellent design, quality, and value.

   I see reviews stating it’s not accurate…I weighed a 12oz beverage can and it came in at 13oz. I’m to assume the extra ounce is the weight of the can itself.An 8oz cream cheese came in at 8.5oz, so half an ounce for package weight? Seems reasonable.I also weighted two 1lb tubes of breakfast sausage, one came in at 1lb 1oz, the other 15.8oz.I’m not sure how much more accurate you’d expect a $10 scale to be

   Love the simple design of this scale. It is easy to use. Has minimal buttons, just to zero out and change unit of measure. I have had this for several years and it has held up. I also have purchased one as a gift.

   Compact and looks nice. Has plenty of measuring units to choose from and seems pretty accurate. So far no issues. Definitely the best value if you don’t need anything fancy and just wanna stay on point with your diet.
