I cook from scratch and prep all of my food. Every day. I perfect and document my recipes by weight and not volume. Grams. I have used a handful of scales over time and I like this one. I am not nominating it for world’s greatest scale or anything, but I find it to be dependable, convenient and about the right size for use and storage.This particular purchase is my second of this particular model. I bought the first in December, 2020. I bought the second, a replacement, in May of 2022.Pros:I find this model to be accurate and largely trouble free. It is the right size: Large enough to be convenient in use, small enough to squirrel away in a drawer. Batteries last for a long time (although I am not a fan of discount batteries).Okay, the cons/rants…1. I don’t appreciate the auto-off function. Let’s explore this for a second. What is the purpose of the auto-off function? Is it to save battery life? Is this scale really pulling so much energy that you have to shut the thing down in two minutes??? While I am sidetracked or distracted with something else? Maybe I am prepping something while I am measuring. Maybe my phone rings in the middle of measuring flour. The scale should not run the kitchen!Can we compromise? How about five minutes prior to shut down? How about a way to disable the auto-off function?2. In a perfect world, a scale would last longer than… how long did my first scale last? 17 months? The first scale started becoming unreliable–not inaccurate–and was making me nervous. (Yes, I changed the batteries. LOL.)– The unit button didn’t have the same feel over time, although I rarely used it in the first place because I almost always use grams. I speculate that, over time, ingredients found their way into the cracks of the button, but that is pure speculation. I am a borderline perfectionist and not a slob. A humble guy mislabeled as a curmudgeon because I dislike kitchen visitors who leave things in disarray. “Get out of my kitchen.” The problem is not a result of abuse.– The unit settings started to change on its own, causing me to reset it to grams more than it did early in the product’s life.– A couple of times, the scale shut off on its own, well before the two-minute cook’s deadline, in the middle of my measuring, causing me problems. This is what prompted me to replace the first scale. The last straw.So, why would I buy the same product again? Well, you have to look at the factors involved, and I use the scale relentlessly, for everything related to meals. I weigh coffee beans for our coffee when I wake up. I keep using it, all the way until I, say, measure mayo, mustard, lemon juice and honey to make honey mustard dressing (the whole process takes less than a minute) as I wrap up dinner prep. And, yes, I use it to make the mayo, too. I even have a spare so that I don’t have an emergency situation. So, the thing got a lot of use.Should I take the risk that someone else’s scale might be better??? Or should I go with the the devil you know, so to speak? Meh… I think this scale is at least four stars. And while I have listed some cons, I kinda like the thing. Moderate “everyday” use in a typical household should be worry free… just don’t leave that scale idle for two minutes!!! Grrr!!! LOL.

I use my kitchen scale multiple times per day for measuring cat food (they’re on a diet…), to measuring ingredients for cooking. I prefer to measure most of my ingredients straight into prep bowls or mixing bowls, its more accurate and saves time washing measuring cups.I’ve gone through a handful of scales since I started measuring everything, most of them lasting 4-6 months. I believe the design is what causes the short lifespan on competing products. The included plastic bowl/plate cover does a great job of catching any liquids/solids spilled when dumping things onto the plate or bowl you’re putting ingredients into. This keeps them from going into the scale itself and inevitably breaking it.Ive had this thing going with daily use for some time now, I’d estimate 6 months, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down on me.

We use this machine 16 x a day.. it never fails us. Has all the measurements you need. You can use with the bowl.. level it out to hold any plate , bowl. Jar you name it and it will count up any liquid or dry wet good you add to it.We weigh everything we put in our body’s. So this little magical piece of heaven is perfect for our family. It has lasted a long time. I think I bought this 8 or 9 months ago now. It has seen every type of food hot or cold. Heavy or light. It’s been dressed in baking products and in need of massive cleaning which it upholds too.We have had to change the batteries 1x since we got it being we use it RELIGIOUSLY!! THAT IS AWESOME.It is small but mighty. The bowl it comes with is nice for powders or chocolate chips. You know anything but it is great for fast pours.. its got every measurement possible to help you calculate all detentions of your food so you can count your calories and macros.I cant rave enough. Best darn machine EVER!!

We bought this scale about two and a half years ago and it just died because it accidentally sat in some liquid which corroded the battery and terminals. I am shocked it has lasted this long because I have not been gentle with it. I have a crystal and gem online shop that I operate out of my home and every single crystal that has come through the shop has been on that scale at least once…probably about a half million of them since I purchased the scale. Additionally, I use it in the kitchen daily, as well. Honestly, if they were giving away kitchen scales across the street, this penny-pincher would order this one again anyway.

Well I thought I needed this. I purchased it over a year ago and haven’t taken it out of the box to date. I’m sure it works great and it wasn’t super expensive. I was watching the Great Brittish Baking Show and thought “I need that” problem is I’m more of an eater of baked goods than a baker of them. Those darn brits! I would recommend this to friends and family especially if the bake stuff.

I bought this a year & a half ago. It has been great for baking and food prep. I love the dish for the top and use the combination everyday. Wish back-light stayed on for much longer and sometimes after weighing one item it takes a long time to reset itself to 0 again. This can be frustrating if you are in the middle of a recipe and quickly weighing one thing after another. But I still recommend it for its durability and ease of use. Haven’t even had to replace batteries yet.

I needed a good kitchen scale that I could add to or change whatever I needed from ounces to grams to milliliters and this does itOnce you start wearing your dry goods, you can zero out and keep addingAnd itβs slim enough that when I put it away for storage, it slides right away and is perfectI would recommend this one and 100%

Love the scale. Love the ‘bowl’ it comes with – nice size and easily cleaned. Perfect size – big enough for most recipes and small enough to sit on the counter. Very easy to use. Would buy again and very happy with the purchase.
