Digital Food Scale
»
I'm trying to portion down to the real portion size and not my "Hungry Hombre" size that I am use to. Three to four onces of meat is about two bites. Diets suck. What I really like is that you can put your food container on the scale, push the zero button and then fill it to the weight you want. No math needed which is good for simple minded people such as myself.

Great scale!
»
You can't go wrong with this scale. It is small/thin enough for easy/convenient storage. It works like a charm and I love that you can weigh the container separately and it adjusts for the weight. Some people complain that the scale and numbers are too close together and can't be seen when weighing something large--just put a cup or bowl on the scale first to lift your item and you'll have no problem seeing the weight. I'm sorry I didn't buy this years ago. It weighs up to 11 pounds.

Great scale at a great price
»
I've had this item for a couple of months and it has performed very well. My diet requires that I monitor amounts of Vitamin K and this scale has been very useful for weighing out small quantities of greens and herbs. It is stylish and has a small footprint, so I leave it on my counter for easy access. I have not used any other similar scale, but have no complaints on this model. I use a small plastic container as a base so that any wide items I weigh do not block the display.

No "Tare" function/Buy the Chrome One
»
Bought the chrome product which seems more sturdy than the color versions. The tare function failed after only a short time. Received a replacement right away from Amazon and surprisingly, tare function doesn't work on anything over 2 lbs. Sad. Recommend not buying a scale from this manufacturer. I'll keep mine since it seems to be accurate enough for ordinary kitchen work even if I can't use the tare function.

Fabulous scale!
»
This is an item for me which has moved from "nice to have" to "must have."
Prior to this I had an old manual scale and of course this is no comparison.
Things I love about it include its portability and light weight (takes up little space). It's accurate. It has an auto-shutoff and is easy to tare. The price is not exorbitant.
I find myself using it more than I ever thought I would for weighing ingredients for recipes, dividing bread dough into even loaves/segments, splitting recipes in half, I could go on and on.
I like to grind my own meats and freeze in half pound increments. This little scale fits easily in a clear gallon sized storage bag where it can weigh things while staying sanitary. Great!
I love it and am always finding new uses for it. Which is a sign of a great kitchen tool.
