- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024Color: Arctic SliverVerified PurchaseI love this kitchen scale! It is just who wS looking for and it works great. It is easy to use and I have found it to be very accurate. It is light weight and easy to store. I use it to weigh ingredients when making homemade bread and the results are much better than simply measuring. So if you enjoy making bread, this scale is a “must have” for your kitchen!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2024Color: Stainless Steel-SilverVerified PurchaseBought this to help with my baking. I have a great scale already, but it caps at 500g - very accurate, but can't weigh my cake pans & batter. This scale appears to be accurate with small and large measurements. I have 100g and 500g weights that came with my first scale - this Etekcity scale measured them both accurately. I also put a 4lb bag of sugar on it and it measured ~4lbs - a bag of sugar isn't going to weigh exactly 4lbs, I just wanted to see how quickly this scale would zero in.
Pros:
This etekcity scale has a small footprint
The included mixing bowl was great for measure powdery flour.
AA batteries are easier to find around the house compared to some odd button cell.
The tare and zero functions work as expected.
Plenty of measuring units (g, oz, etc).
Cons:
I am having a hard time wiping fingerprints off of the bowl and scale.
I'm not sure about the durability of the included bowl, but I have PLENTY of other bowls to use.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2025Color: Arctic SliverVerified PurchaseThis scale is perfect for the kitchen. It is very easy to use and i checked the accuracy 2 times in 2 months and it was dead on acurite. I would buy this model again without a doubt! I will also recommend it to all my family and friends.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025Color: Arctic SliverVerified PurchaseThis was a great tool for perfect measurements in making homemade bread! Very easy to use.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2022Color: Arctic SliverVerified PurchaseI cook from scratch and prep all of my food. Every day. I perfect and document my recipes by weight and not volume. Grams. I have used a handful of scales over time and I like this one. I am not nominating it for world's greatest scale or anything, but I find it to be dependable, convenient and about the right size for use and storage.
This particular purchase is my second of this particular model. I bought the first in December, 2020. I bought the second, a replacement, in May of 2022.
Pros:
I find this model to be accurate and largely trouble free. It is the right size: Large enough to be convenient in use, small enough to squirrel away in a drawer. Batteries last for a long time (although I am not a fan of discount batteries).
Okay, the cons/rants...
1. I don't appreciate the auto-off function. Let's explore this for a second. What is the purpose of the auto-off function? Is it to save battery life? Is this scale really pulling so much energy that you have to shut the thing down in two minutes??? While I am sidetracked or distracted with something else? Maybe I am prepping something while I am measuring. Maybe my phone rings in the middle of measuring flour. The scale should not run the kitchen!
Can we compromise? How about five minutes prior to shut down? How about a way to disable the auto-off function?
2. In a perfect world, a scale would last longer than... how long did my first scale last? 17 months? The first scale started becoming unreliable--not inaccurate--and was making me nervous. (Yes, I changed the batteries. LOL.)
-- The unit button didn't have the same feel over time, although I rarely used it in the first place because I almost always use grams. I speculate that, over time, ingredients found their way into the cracks of the button, but that is pure speculation. I am a borderline perfectionist and not a slob. A humble guy mislabeled as a curmudgeon because I dislike kitchen visitors who leave things in disarray. "Get out of my kitchen." The problem is not a result of abuse.
-- The unit settings started to change on its own, causing me to reset it to grams more than it did early in the product's life.
-- A couple of times, the scale shut off on its own, well before the two-minute cook's deadline, in the middle of my measuring, causing me problems. This is what prompted me to replace the first scale. The last straw.
So, why would I buy the same product again? Well, you have to look at the factors involved, and I use the scale relentlessly, for everything related to meals. I weigh coffee beans for our coffee when I wake up. I keep using it, all the way until I, say, measure mayo, mustard, lemon juice and honey to make honey mustard dressing (the whole process takes less than a minute) as I wrap up dinner prep. And, yes, I use it to make the mayo, too. I even have a spare so that I don't have an emergency situation. So, the thing got a lot of use.
Should I take the risk that someone else's scale might be better??? Or should I go with the the devil you know, so to speak? Meh... I think this scale is at least four stars. And while I have listed some cons, I kinda like the thing. Moderate "everyday" use in a typical household should be worry free... just don't leave that scale idle for two minutes!!! Grrr!!! LOL.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024Color: Chili RedVerified PurchaseThis scale is so nice. Multiple choices of weight, slim designs with a tray that is removable, stores great, and is very accurate
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2024Color: Arctic SliverVerified PurchaseThis is a great purchase! It ‘s basically plug & play. It looks very nice, and is accurate from the first moment. Great value for the money. It’s compact so easy to store but also looks nice enough to keep in the open.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2024Color: Arctic SliverVerified PurchaseThe size of this scale is great. I like the fact that the included dish for the scale doubles as a cover for protection. It is pretty accurate and doesn’t seem overly sensitive. It performs well and the plate is metal so it adds to the durability. I use this thing weekly to measure ingredients for my sourdough bread. It’s lightweight and portable, I wish the screen was a bit brighter and the text was a bit larger, but other than that it is a decent scale for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fácil de usar y eficiente
Color: Chili RedVerified PurchaseLa báscula es sencilla en su uso, eficiente y su diseño moderno y elegante. Los materiales son de calidad. Se recomienda limpiarla muy bien después de cada uso y evitar salpicarla o mojarla para prevenir que se manche u oxide por falta de limpieza. La recomiendo plenamente.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate Kitchen Scale - Perfect for Baking
Color: Stainless Steel-SilverVerified PurchaseI've been wanting a good kitchen scale for some time now.
Amazon has a good number of them, some cheaper than this one.
I picked this one after seeing it used in a number of YouTube videos by an English Baker.
After using it for several weeks, I am very happy with it's accuracy and ease of use.
I would buy again.
