I bought this Kitchen scale after seeing that more and more recipes that I find have their ingredients listed in weight rather than amounts. I am an avid baker, trying new recipes and baking something in my kitchen almost every day! I am extremely satisfied with the Etekcity brand! It was easy to start using it, following the well-written directions in the manual it came with. It has been very consistent and accurate even with small amounts like 20 grams and large amounts like 5 pounds, The scale is easy to read, even when it is covered with a large bowl. The scale is versatile, reads in multiple measurements: grams, milliliters, fluid ounces, pounds/ounces. I rely on the ‘tare’ button every time I use it (With one press of the button, it automatically subtracts the weight of the bowl from the total so you only see the weight of the ingredient you’re adding). It automatically turn off when I’m done using it. It is stainless steel so it is easy to wipe clean and so far, I have not had to replace the battery. (I’ve had it for over a year). I appreciate the size, as it is easy to store and doesn’t take a lot of space. I also bought one for my daughter-in-law and she is enjoying it for the same reasons, but in addition, my son uses it to measure his nuts/bolts in the garage! For some reason, he said he needed a scale to measure something in very small amounts i.e. grams and milliliters so he enjoying this scale as well! For all the reasons I have mentioned, the scale meets my needs and I highly recommend buying it!

This is a smart, sleek looking scale and it feels solid and well made. It is easy to use, the display is very clear, wipes clean and the slim design makes it easy to use and store.

As someone who’s been using the Etekcity Food Kitchen Scale for several months now, I can confidently say it’s become an indispensable tool in my kitchen. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast tracking macros or a baker striving for the perfect loaf, this scale offers a range of features that cater to various needs.

Pros:
+ Accuracy: For the most part, the scale provides precise measurements in both grams and ounces, which is crucial for recipes and portion control.
+ Sleek Design: The stainless steel construction not only looks modern but is also easy to clean and maintain.
+ User-Friendly: The backlit LCD display is clear and easy to read, even in low light conditions.
+ Versatility: Multiple unit options (g, oz, lb:oz, ml) make it adaptable for various recipes and needs.
+ Tare Function: This feature allows for easy measurement of ingredients in containers, which is a huge time-saver.
+ Compact Size: It doesn’t take up much counter space and can be easily stored in a drawer.
+ Long Battery Life: Many users report the batteries lasting for months with regular use.

Cons:
– Sensitivity Issues: Some users have reported that the scale can be overly sensitive to touch, which can affect readings.
– Delayed Response: There can be a slight delay in weight readings, especially when measuring liquids or adding small increments.
– Auto-Off Feature: While designed to save battery, the quick auto-off can be frustrating if you’re in the middle of measuring multiple ingredients.
– Limited Weight Capacity: At 11 lbs (5kg) max, it may not be suitable for larger batch cooking.
– Inconsistent Readings: A few users have experienced fluctuating measurements, especially with very light items.

In my experience, the scale has been a reliable kitchen companion. I’ve found it particularly useful for baking bread, where precise measurements can make or break a recipe. The tare function has been a game-changer, allowing me to measure multiple ingredients in the same bowl without mental math.

However, I have noticed that when measuring very small quantities (less than 5 grams), the scale can sometimes struggle to register changes immediately. This requires a bit of patience and occasionally a gentle tap to update the reading.

Despite these minor drawbacks, I believe the Etekcity Food Kitchen Scale offers excellent value for its price point. It’s not perfect, but it’s more than capable of handling most kitchen tasks with ease. Whether you’re counting calories, portioning meals, or perfecting your baking skills, this scale is a solid choice that won’t break the bank.

Small, digital, accurate, lightweight, inexpensive, attractive and easy to use.
Highly recommend!

 Love how easy this kitchen scale is to use. It is small and portable if you like to cook for weigh your food while traveling. Easy to set up to AAA batteries and you are ready to go. The batteries last quite some time because it is such a small scale. The scale is easy to read, and able to tell you the weight in grams, ounces, milliliters, and pounds. Very sensitive and can read a small amount of food. I have had this a scale for over five years and I use it daily to measure my coffee and it has held up and worked wonders for the entire time. Highly recommend a small kitchen tool that comes in handy!
