I love this scale. I use it every day. It scoots back and forth between grams and ounces with ease. It tares like a dream, which is great if you have to weigh something like meats – by weighing a bowl and then setting that to “0″, you don’t end up actually putting the raw beast on the scale (ick). And it’s extremely intuitive and easy to operate. The funky, retro orange color is super-cute and looks great in my little kitchen (if that’s your decor, I’d go with the 70s Pumpkin Orange over the Deer Hunter Orange option). It’s small, and uses 2 common AA batteries (included!). I love being able to weigh portions instead of relying on measuring cups, and I have found some nutritional info serving sizes to be dead wrong (a serving will be “x grams or approx. x pieces”, but if you weigh it, it’s really far fewer pieces than suggested. Sneaky). Also, I have scone recipes from UK that list ingredients according to weight instead of volume. I’m psyched to finally be able to make the family scone recipe the correct way. This was a brilliant purchase, and I’m glad I got it.

I make soaps and body oils, so I need the scale to be accurate and easy to use. The scale is easy to use. When I take an item off the scale and the numbers go back towards zero, they don’t always end at zero. Sometimes they stop at .1 or .2. Resetting with the Tare button corrects that, but I have to do it too often. Since I don’t use it every day and use it only about 20 minutes at a time, it’s not terribly inconvenient. If I had to use it all day every day, I’d be buying another scale.
I love the color.

This little scale is light weight and pretty small, so it is easy to store. It is extremely easy to use. I cut down on the number of dishes I use in baking by using the tare feature to keep adding ingredients to the same bowl. Love it.

Works just like I hoped it would. The “Tare” weight feature (netting out the weight of the container to get weight of the product) is helpful, when cooking. Replaces my postal scale, too.
Hard to believe this little thing will stay accurate to 11 lbs.. but it works!
