  • "This scale is accurate."
  • "It appears to be very accurate and I use it often to measure flour and other items for breadmaking."
  • "The first thing that impressed me about this kitchen scale is its accuracy."
  • "The accuracy is great which is a big plus for me."
  • "Tested it and it was very very very accurate."
  • "The scale is incredibly accurate, measuring down to 0.1g increments."

Cons:

  • "Scale worked once when we tested it immediately after purchase and never again."
  • "For measurements below 0.5, the scale would either guess wrong or not register at all."
  • "Put some creatine on it and it didn’t recognize anything was on the scale until i put over a gram and a half on the scale even though it should go to .1g accuracy."
  • "Measurement below 5 grams too often do not register on the scale."
  • "The problem is this scale has a difficult time picking up small amounts (under a gram)."

Design & Features

Pros:

  • "Love the removable bowl feature."
  • "The color is perfect for my kitchen."
  • "Really nice size!! I use this for everything from baking and weighing flour and sugar, to meal prep and weighing out my almonds and seeds!!"
  • "I love the four types of measurements."
  • "Works with several weight sizes including: oz, lb, g, fl: oz, and mL."
  • "It comes with two different measurements - gram and pound."
  • "The scale offers multiple units of measurement, including grams, ounces, pounds, and milliliters."

Cons:

  • "It only came with gram and ounce option - wish description was more accurate."
  • "The bowl that comes with the scale is not machine washable, and the scale itself is not waterproof."
  • "The only thing I wish they had added is this. If one side of the “bowl“ had a pourspout, this would’ve been perfect."
  • "The small tray that comes with it was useless to me."
  • "No option to keep it oz/g only (it reads 1 lb 6 oz only instead instead of being able to read 22 oz for example)."
  • "I don't find the temperature feature useful myself."
  • "The basic shape is all wrong with the buttons and display blocked when you have any sort of flat container on it."

Pros:

  • "I never remember to turn the unit off but it turns itself off when not in use....WHEW!!"
  • "No button cell batteries needed."
  • "Super easy to use."
  • "You can 0 out the bowl so its not added in weight total, and the bowl is large and easy to clean."
  • "Easy readable display."
  • "On off button allows for less battery usage."
  • "You just put the bowl on and turn it on and it zeros itself out."
