I've owned a number of kitchen scales, and this one has been carefully designed not to do the things that will drive you crazy over time. Specifically:
- It can be turned on with something on the scale, and automatically tare.
- The delay before automatic shutoff is long enough not to be annoying.
- The tare functionality has a history function, so you can work your way backward if needed.
- The readout sticks out far enough that you can still read it when weighing large objects, like plates.
- It doesn't use wacky, hard-to-find batteries.
Reliable, intuitive, and inexpensive. The only way to improve this scale would be to increase its accuracy from 1g to 0.1g.

Amazing, accurate scale for the money
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019
This scale, for the money, is a screaming bargain. Very accurate—I set my 200 gram weight on it (see pic) and it was spot on. Easy to tare and switch to other measurements. Nice, compact size too. Can’t speak to how durable it is since it’s pretty new but, for the money, it’s well made. That said, I have other scales that cost more that seem better built. All in all, highly recommended.

Does not weigh accurately
By JW on May 19, 2019
The item does not weigh correctly. We were surprised by a couple of weights, thinking they looks low for the amount of food. When we started weighing items with weights on the packaging, we found consistently low weights given by the scale.By JW on May 19, 2019
