Kitchen Scales Digital with Detachable Display, 15kg Stainless Steel Food Scales Weighing Grams and Oz, Electronic Food Weighing Scales for Cooking Baking Scales with Tare Function, 1g/0.1oz Precision

These scales are very well designed and for their low price, very accurate.I bought the 500g/0.01g version with the 100g calibration weight. My photo shows what you get in the box: trays of different sizes, AAA batteries, the 100g calibration weight and the scales themselves. When not in use, the two trays neatly fit over the measuring platform and the whole device, meaning it is protected from bumps and scratches in a kitchen drawer, for example.They are very easy to use; just turn on and place something on the measuring surface. The screen updates several times per second, so there's no delay while the reading settles down. The units are selectable: grams and ounces; Troy ounces/Pennyweight for precious metals; and Grains for specialist uses such as weighing gunpowder.It measures the 100g calibration weight at exactly 100.00g as expected, and also a 10g calibration weight from another set of scales at exactly 10.00g. Moving the weight to the corners of the measuring plate, there is a variation of 0.04g which is only 0.004% of the total reading. Extremely good for non-scientific scales at such a good price!Another useful feature is its counting ability. You calibrate it by putting a known quantity of items onto the plate, then it will count any number of them (up to the maximum weight). You can see in my photo that I calibrated it with 25 lentils, then added five more; it shows 30 on the display. You could use this to measure bags of coins, nuts and bolts, etc. Or lentils :-)To use this function:* place the tray (or other container) onto the scales and zero them by pressing T ("tare").* put 25 (or 50, 75 or 100) items onto the tray. The scales will show their weight.* Press and hold the PCS ("pieces") button until it shows 25. To change to 50, 75 or 100, press the M key.* Press PCS again. The display shows the number of items on the scales.* Add more items and the scales will count them.I use these for weighing small quantities of ingredients in cooking and beer brewing. They are really easy to use and far more accurate than I need.

At the price I was not expecting much but could not have been more wrong!They are well made and very accurate with large ,easy to read display.I was a little surprised at how small the weighing unit was but that does not matter as the readout unit is separate so putting larger items that overhang are no problem, plus it makes storage easy.Money well spent.K.FarleyWest Wales.

Lots could be said about this, but I'll stick to the things that stand out.Pros: Firstly, the screen is well lit as shown in the photos, and is incredibly quick to adjust. This is critical if measuring a lot, and this scale is great for that.The accuracy seems to be great as repeated measurement at different times are often exactly the same, and I've never noticed a more than 0.02g deviation . The factory calibration however was 0.27g off from the supplied calibration weight, so one of them (i suspect the scales) was inaccurate to begin with. I highly recommend buying the version with the included weight or purchasing a third party one if you are at all interested in accuracy.The inclusion of 2 trays for measuring is a real help, even if they are thin easily scratched plastic.Cons: The photo renderings on the listing make it look bigger than it is. Pay attention to the dimensions.While the 2 plastic measuring trays sort of act as a case, a dedicated case would really seal the deal. Not exactly a fault of the product, just an area of easy improvement, especially as it is marketed as 'pocket'.Edit: Revised this review down to three stars as I think the scales are designed to lie. It's impossible to get a result within 0.02g of a whole gram, as the software rounds to the whole gram. I don't know why they do this but I assume its so when placing the calibration weight on the scale, you get an impressively constant and accurate figure. It is however, a complete lie.Still mostly accurate so far and very easy to use, but just be aware that all is not as it seems.

I was looking for scales to accurately measure small quantities between 5 and 15g. It achieves that with excellent repeatability; weighing the same item 10 times consecutively the measurement varied by a maximum of 0.02gSome reviews I have read people say the display is erratic, wandering up and down or not responding to additional weight being added, I have not experienced this although my wife has but she had omitted to remove the clear plastic cover which fits snugly over the weighing platform. It is such a good fit that I can easily understand how that happened and wonder if other people have done the same. In contrast the other clear plastic lid which covers the entire scale is a very loose fit and it is obvious that it has to be removed.I don't believe it is intended for weighing large quantities as the scales are very small, as such it shouldn't it be expected to replace ordinary kitchen scales but rather to work alongside. Criticisms in this respect are I feel a little harsh and purchasers would do well to read all the details before buying and all the instructions after buying ... well that's what I told my wife before she wandered off to watch Worzel "Mumble, grumble".In summary and in complete contrast to most job applications the scales do work well on their own and also in a team.

After making the mistake of buying a real cheapie that never worked (it was about £6 and no batteries either) which went back pronto THIS was a completely different kettle of fish. Well packaged, good size for a small scale, well thought out controls easy to use. The calibration weight is essential if you want accurate gram readings. Came with batteries too. How it lasts is another matter, first off it all bodes well.Only minus point is the instructions, although concise are printed way too small, I needed a magnifying glass to make it easier to read.
