Excellent scale, even for double the money. The tare feature works like most others, but the three real goodies are:
… the FOUR MINUTE before auto-cutoff. Not like the Taylor scale I had that cut off after one minute of nonuse. It was always cutting off on me before I was finished with it.
… and NO DEFAULT SCALE It’s the same as when you last turned it off (if you were using grams, the next time you turn it on it’s still in grams, OR ounces at OFF then it’s ounces at ON). Tap the button to change g/oz on the fly.
… AND it holds A FULL ELEVEN pounds (5kg). I put a bag of flour on it, set tare, and scoop out until it reads xx-ounces (virtually impossible with a 6# scale).
Yeah, I was a chef for many years and more interested in utility over aesthetics in my equipment. I buy flour in 5# or 10# bags now instead of 50# or 100#. I used to have to have several scales — one for portions and and one for weighing things like yeast and salt, and bigger ones for things like flour and meats. Now 11# is sufficient and this is still accurate enough for yeast and salt.
… Okay, so it’s plastic instead of yuppie glass and chrome. It’s accurate and well designed — not heavy, temperamental, or hard to clean. It just works.
… Oh, and it doesn’t use strange batteries (regular old AA batteries so you don’t go into conniptions when you need replacements)

Finally everyone agrees..
No sense writing a long review here. Read the other’s and see this is a great product.

Love the scale. Tested accuracy, with perfect results, using nickels — they weigh five grams apiece. Very sensitive so it can weigh small amounts of ingredients. Lent it to a friend to weigh his son’s Pinewood Derby car. He dropped the scale down a flight of stairs but the scale lived on. And his son’s car won the derby.
One complaint: Anything more than just a small bowl or plate set on the scale will block the display making it difficult if not impossible to read. Would be nice if the display faced outward rather than just upward.

When I took the scale out of the box I couldn’t believe how small it is.I can stand it up next to dishes, takes up hardly any space and it’s readily accessable. Had an old Weight Watchers scale that took up lots of space. I like the fact that I can put any size bowl on it and zero it out and then just get the weight of my food. It measures in 1/8ths too which is nice but not necessary. I absolutely love this scale,worth every penny.

Awesome is the word for it
The reviewer who called this “awesome” got it right. I bought it in red to match our kitchen walls and tile, and it looks great.

Works as advertised
When I step on my bathroom scale, successive reading attempts come back within +/- one pound of some average reading.

Awesome Little Scale
I’m very pleased with the scale-it is quite precise, and I love the tare function, which allows you to zero out the weight after each addition to your plate.

Digital Scale
I purchased this scale because I had joined Weight Watchers and needed to weigh my food. I use the scale on a daily basis and it is very precise.

Great product!
I bought this scale over a year ago, primarily for use in crafts, but I’ve recently taken up cooking in a serious way and it has made its way into the kitchen with me.

Small and Simple
This scale is small and simple. I keep it up under a fruit basket on the counter; it is that small.

The Little Scale that Could
Well, I ordered this item on the referral of a friend.
It is wonderful. Easy to use, clean and I love the fact that you can set it to zero when you have a plate or…

Gets it done
What you see is exactly what you get — a cute plastic scale with 1g precision. Great for measuring coffee, baking ingredients, or even light packages to calculate postage.
