Pros & Cons
Pros
Scale is very accurate, as shown in attached video where various calibrated weights were added and removed. It seems to have much better accuracy compared to the previous one. I also ship small packages on a daily basis and this one is accurate enough... Read More
The display is large enough to be seen under a full sized dinner plate. The machine is protected from spills going into the machine by a raised skirt around the central post. Its relatively compact size makes it easy to store when not in use.
Cons
The information is misleading. Anything below 1 gram actually just reads 0. If i add something that is 1/2 gram, it still says zero.
The item looks sleek and nice, but the * when toggling between units are noticeably laggier than my older ozeri scale. The scale turns off after about 2-2. If you keep adding weight gradually it never responds at all.
Highlights
Quality
While i haven't compared it with my previous scale, i am very pleased with the results it provides for my cooking.
This scale looks good, and the numbers are easy to read with the backlight.
Takes a while to go to zero and to turn off but not so long it is a horrible product.
If it holds up under normal use i'll be pleased.
Shipping
I have a calibrated slectronic shipping scale in the basement and this thing gives the same results as it does.
It works so far but the auto shut off is way too fast and so it shuts off in the middle of me measuring out things.
Packaging/appearance
Only thing i wish was that it had a hold function for if you want to weigh something that blocks the screen.
Competitiveness
I have a 30lb dog so every ounce matters.
This is my 2nd etekcity kitchen scale.
If you have a large bowl and can't see the display, simply place a few trivets on the scale to raise the bowl up.
