(More customer reviews)As a catering Chef, I've been through quite a few kitchen scales throughout all the years I've been working. I've had expensive ones and cheap ones but this particular scale by Ozeri blows them all away. For its price, this scale is phenomenal in terms of quality and accuracy and definately my favorite.
Accuracy - I used a 50 gram calibration weight to test the accuracy and consistency of this scale and it was perfect. It was 50 grams every time, even when I repeatedly placed the weight on and off a few times. Also, the I used other weights to test the tare function which also worked perfectly. The weight capacity on this scale is also plentiful. At 11 lbs, you can practically weigh most dishes/bowls
style/looks - Though this wasnt at the top of my priority when shopping for a scale, this scale does have a very nice appeal. the entire top portion of this scale is a one piece tempered glass surface so its really compact. It appears that the material under the glass is black so it has a black glossy/shine look on the surface. One thing I should note is that since the top is all glass, it is easy to get finger prints on it, but at the same time, since it is all smooth glass, its very easy to clean. Another thing I should note is that the whole glass top acts as the weighing platform so its really easy to weigh large objects without a problems.
size - its relatively small, being almost the size of a half sheet of a regular peice of paper. Its also very thin; I'd say about the same thickness as an iPhone. Since the shape of this scale is thin, its really convenient to store anywhere, or even take around with you in a bag or purse.
other features - The screen that displays the weight is quite spacious and backlit so its very easy to read at a glance. Another thing that I had noticed over the years with other scales is sometimes, the screen is too hard to read, whether it be no backlight, poor viewing angle, or a weird shape that makes it hard to read the screen with a large bowl on it. However, this scale is very easy to read in any situation. Also, the buttons on this scale are touch sensitive, meaning you literally just tap your fingers against the glass surface to operate it. I find this to be very convenient in many ways, especially since there are no grooves for physical buttons, its easier to clean or wipe down.
Also, batteries are included ( 2 button cells), which is always a plus.
After a few weeks of use, this is now my favorite scale. In my opinion, no other scale in this price range provides the accuracy, features, and quality of this scale.
