I bought two scales; this one I leave in my kitchen. It’s not bad – the bowl is detachable, and can be washed easily. It allows one to put any type of food imaginable, and weigh it accurately. The dial shows information in ounces and grams, which is convenient. This scale is only good if you are aware of the nutritional breakdown of the items being weighed. If one is less familiar with food’s attributes, then I’d suggest endeavoring on an electronic scale, which will provide the nutritional info for you.

I have had at least 4 different scales to measure items and each one has either fallen apart or been so flimsy that it didn’t weigh what I wanted. This scale is sturdy and accurate. It costs a little more than other scales but has been worth it because it doesn’t fall apart.

My last plastic scale accidentally broke when I dropped it. Needed a new scale and wanted something that looked really nice, but still did the job. The scale is easy to read and denotes grams, ounces and pounds.
I really wanted a stainless steel scale so that I could avoid rust. I’ve purchased a few items that look like stainless steel and aren’t and when you put them in a bathroom or a kitchen where there is water, steam, or exposure to damp items the rust just ruins it. I threw out my last metal garbage can because the foot pedal rusted off.
For this price, you can’t expect a heavy sheet of steel. The thickness is comparable to a standard pie tin if that helps. It’s not like a heavy duty, commercial cookie sheet. Then again, it’s not like the scale will see as much action as the bottom of a pie tin, so it serves its use and considering the price is [...] bucks, I can’t complain too loudly.
I like that the bowl is removable and you can just throw it in the dishwasher. You can also “zero out” the scale and put other containers in lieu of the bowl it came with.
One of the cons is that the dimensions of this thing are off. I refer to the actual physical size of this thing. Product dimensions list this as 9.5 x 9 x 6 inches. Was that the scale base only? The scale base plus the bowl? Either way, I don’t know how they got those dimensions. Anyhow, in the end, this thing was a little larger than I expected. From the bottom of the scale to the rim of the bowl on top, it measured 10.25″ in height. The width of the base is 6-3/8″. The depth of the base is 4 inches even and the scale readout extends out 1/4 of an inch in the front and the back.
The other con about this is that the face is plastic, not glass. I could not verify this anywhere before purchasing, but assumed it was plastic due to the price. It would have been nice if this thing did come with a glass face.
All in all, it’s a very good-looking scale. A little larger than expected and the product specs should state it has a plastic face.
