I bought this because I needed to weigh some ingreedients for a cake I was making, and, living in a small town, had no other options.
Five bucks is a fair price for this thing. It measures accurately, if you don’t mind getting on eye-level with the counter to read it. Setting it to zero is kinda a pain, as a full twist of the knob only moves the needle about 1/8 of an ounce. But, if you’re in a pinch or have low expectations, this thing does a fine job.
I’ve got a Baker’s Dream scale on it’s way to replace it, because this little thing just does not meet the needs of anyone who needs a serious cooking scale. But I suppose that’s not quite what it’s designed for.
Decent, does it’s job, very small. Good enough if that’s all you need.

This food scale worked perfectly for me! I have been trying to lose weight by controlling my portions and this was exactly what I needed. The scale measures in both grams and ounces, and the best part is that it is so light-weight (yet durable), and it comes in a compact storage tuperware container that also doubles as a food container. It is small and light enough that I can take it anywhere. I really love it!

Great price, but not high quality
The scale is a great price and comes in a handy storing container, but it broke after only using it twice.

Love this!
I love that this scale can weigh things with or without the container on it, you just adjust it with a little knob on the top, that’s cool.

Lightweight and Accurate
This is a great little powerhouse. I’m especially pleased that this scale comes with its own little storage container, which I’ve also used as my “bowl.

Works for casual use
This is a good scale for those who need to weigh without scientific accuracy. If you want to measure within a given ounce, it works perfectly.

This is best for bread and cake making
This product is not only inexpensive, it is fulfilling almost all of my kitchen need of a scale. I bought one for myself 3-4 years ago, and it is still working for me…

Worth it for the price
I just needed a simple scale for occasional kitchen measures. As for its accuracy, I really don’t know but it seems to be sufficient for my needs.

Could have hoped for more
I would recommend on spending a little more and getting a digital scale, this one although meassures well has to be adjusted everytime.

scale
Product is just what I need, the fact that you can store the scale with a lid is great.
