Perfect kitchen food scale
The media could not be loaded. I love this kitchen food scale. It’s lightweight, thin and very sturdy. Easy to handle, and move around in the kitchen.It’s a soft touch to toggle through all units of measure. Pounds, ounces, grams and milliliters.I love how simple it is to zero out the weight when a bowl or plate is placed before weighing the food.It uses AAA batteries which are included. It’s easy to clean and has a small latch on the back to hang on the wall if storage space is an issue.I can’t say enough great things about this scale. I would definitely recommend.

A good little kitchen scale
I have been wanting a digital scale for kitchen use, so when I was offered a sample from the seller for an honest review I jumped at the chance. It was well packaged and delivered ahead of schedule. I only just received this, so I haven't used it for cooking yet, but I did some simple tests.First, it came with the batteries, always a plus. It looks stylish. It isn't too heavy, but feels sturdy. The size is great, I can easily set a bowl on it but it doesn't take up a lot of counter space. It will measure in ounces, pounds and ounces, grams, and kilograms. I tried to find something I could use to check the accuracy. I learned that pennies weigh 2.5 grams. As you can see, 4 pennies did add up to the correct 10 grams, although there was some fluctuation. It doesn't measure fractions of grams, but I don't usually measure in grams anyway!One aspect I especially like is that you can zero out the weight of a bowl or plate so you are just weighing whatever you put inside. You can see that the bowl weighed 1.4 ounces, but when I put it on the scale first, then turned it on, the weight of the bowl was automatically subtracted.The loop for hanging will be useful when I figure out where I want to hang it.

Best scale for mail or food
I absolutely love this scale. I have been using for a week now and it is great for food or mail. I love that it has a super bright display and a good size area for whatever you are weighing so the display is not covered by item you are weighing which I have had issues with on past scales. Not this one. It is accurate and looks great so I don't feel like I need to hide it away. Very aesthetically pleasing. Super easy to use, comes with batteries so no electric cord. Definitely the best home scale I have used. Would purchase again. (Will update with video later)

Great little scale!
I'm not a foodie: I do cook, however, mainly to feed my family (655 straight COVID meals and counting!), also baking (ditto), where measurement can be tricky, and have been wanting to switch from volume to weight measurement for a while. I've had this scale for about three weeks, using it several times daily, and so far I'm really pleased with it. In addition to baking, I routinely use it now for parceling out servings--no more of that "he got more bacon than I did!" nonsense!Pros:-----Easy to use. You put whatever container you're looking to tare on it, push the on button, and you're ready to go. There's a button for switching units--grams, mL (which is silly--don't use), ounces, pounds+ounces. The display is bright and sized for easy reading even if your vision isn't what it used to be. It turns itself off after a bit, but I've not found it blanking out too quickly for my purposes. I usually turn it off manually anyway (long press on power button) before putting it away.-----Easy to store. It's thin enough to fit anywhere. I'll get around to putting a screw in the wall at some point so I can hang it, but at the moment it's easier just to slip it behind whatever's cluttering my counter at the moment.-----Easy care: the surface is highly polished glass or glass-like substance. Just wipe it with a sponge.Cons:-----Haven't discovered any so far. There's times when the plate or bowl I'm using to hold whatever I'm weighing eclipses the display, but there's no way around that without making the scale larger, which would defeat the whole easy-to-store thing, so whatever. I'm reaching here.Unknowns:-----Durability: Haven't subjected it to any kind of rough treatment, haven't dunked it in liquid, or anything like that, so I don't know. I work on granite, and I'm a klutz, so I may find out about this soon....-----Battery life: Well, after a couple of weeks it's still going strong.... It came with the typical cheesy generic AAA batteries (but hey, it's the thought that counts), and I've got no idea how long it will run on those, or how long it will last on real batteries, but given what I think is going on in there I wouldn't expect this thing to be a power hog. I suppose I'll find out.,-----Accuracy: Not really sure how I'd determine this, not having a set of standardized weights handy. If you're curious, you could weigh a known volume of water, but you'd need to have a good graduated cylinder lying around for that. Given the sizable slippage in most kinds of cooking, I'm not sure this is really an issue, and if you're looking for something to use in a quant chem lab, maybe you're in the wrong place. Consistency is another matter, and on this point this scale seems good. Weigh the same object repeatedly and it keeps reporting the same weight, which is probably the most reassuring indication of accuracy you're going to get (failing those standard weights). I think it's good enough to be a reliable postage scale, and I don't intend to use this in a chem lab, so that's all I need to know about accuracy.Value:For twenty bucks, I feel I've already gotten my money's worth. Assuming no problems develop with sustained use, I'd say it's a keeper.Sum: It's a great little scale!

Love it, with one catch
I absolutely love this scale. I expect to use it in the future for baking and such, but right now I use it every day to measure out my dogs' wet food. Fast, accurate measurements, easy to adjust amounts up and down based on their weight changes, MUCH easier to resist adding a bit more because of those pleading eyes, no measuring cups to clean... total game changer for me. I also like the styling and size.However, the one thing that I dislike is that the scale turns off after 2 minutes of inactivity AND loses the tare weight. This means you have no way to recover. With the dog food, I can just start over if I have to. However, if you're baking and mixing multiple ingredients, you don't have a way to "back out" what you've already added in order to recover. I don't expect this would happen frequently -- 2 minutes is a very reasonable inactivity timer -- but stuff does sometimes happen (phone rings, need to open a 2nd package, etc).Nonetheless, giving the scale 5 stars because it is so insanely useful.

Sleek, Accurate and easy to use!
Here are some things about it that I found to be good. The packaging is slim and didn’t take up too much space. That way when I’m done using it, I can put it back in the box. I love that!Also, it was pretty simple to start using. So that made it easy and makes me pull it out more to use. Overall, it’s sleek, it’s modern, it’s accurate and it’s slim.
