I’ve resisted buying this scale for several years due to the price, however I bake a lot of bread and use wide bowls that impair reading the display on other, cheaper scales. I love the pull-out display feature and feel it’s worth the price just to get that. I checked accuracy with laboratory standard weights and it’s accurate, although I would have appreciated a display carried out to one additional numeral. The scale fits nicely in a drawer and changes easily between grams/kilos and pounds/ounces. The pull-out display is the reason to buy this. I find no design or build deficiencies to complain about.

America’s Test Kitchen recommended for a good reason. It’s light, affordable, accurate, and has a decent capacity combined with good precision / granularity considering it’s price. (“not legal for trade, etc”). I used to work for the World’s #1 balance manufacturer, supporting $30K balances. This is frankly a shockingly good value for a kitchen sale.

I saw this on a YouTube video on best scales comparison by Americas test kitchen which it ended up being the winner. I wanted a scale to be accurate and this one does not disappoint. It’s great it you back a lot. It’s become a kitchen staple for me.

This scale is terrific. I never used one and never thought I would. Then I bought it and use it multiple times a week. Has helped my cooking and baking and portion control, too. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Has never failed me. Have an old one. Got a new one for my sister and neighbor. I finally started using it to weigh baking ingredients and making my weeks batch of cold brew coffee. Saves so many dishes. Strongly recommend. No complaints at all.

I researched a bunch of different scales via reputable website comparison reviews, and customer reviews. I’ll save you that time and just tell you to buy this one! It’s accurate, sleek, super easy to read display, and quick to switch measurements or zero out the scale if you’re continually adding things to a single plate. What I really love is how you can pull out the display screen – I didn’t realize how often I would use that feature. Great product.

Bought these to measure my hydroponic chilies, and the 1 gram accuracy was one of my requirements. However, it doesn’t feel like they’re that accurate AT ALL.
For example, weighing a euro 1 cent coin (2.30g) results in OXO showing 0, 2, or 3 grams, 0 being a common result (but never 1).
Another weird thing is, adding multiple smaller objects one by one doesn’t seem to affect the end result at all, as long as the individual objects are below the scale’s sensitivity threshold.
Meaning, if OXO can’t measure the weight of a single object (shows 0), then adding more of them keeps the display at 0, no matter how much the actual weight is. If you then remove some of them it actually gets you into the negatives (?).
It’s not a HUGE deal for me, and I know there are precision scales for <1 gram measurements out there, but it's definitely disappointing, especially since the description specifically mentions 1 gram precision, which doesn't feel true at all.

The old adage “you get what you pay for” most certainly applies here. Our several old £10-ish kitchen scales with stainless steel bowl or not, were/are quite bluntly (and accurately) complete sh*te. The latest: constant fluctuations whilst the same untouched item was sitting on it; two identical cat bowls had a three gram difference in weight (now they’re spot-on the same), would on/off and beep on its own, and clear the screen mid-measure, etc. Not good when you need accuracy! Please pay for something that never fluctuates, is bang on in a micro/millisecond (re: instantly) and beautiful to look at. Especially if you love to cook! It’s a dream to use, and the slide-out display is such a clever addition when you have a large bowl to weigh in ingredients. I used to hate having to stoop down and shield my eyes and the light in a way that was conducive to seeing the display proper. There really isn’t a good way, per se, but this takes all the annoyance right out of the whole deal and makes us wonder: how the eff did we ever cope without it?!? Take it from a pair whom use a kitchen scale a minimum of six times per day (cats on special diets) up to dozens (we love to cook/bake). It’s a dream. Straight up. It’s a beaut that simply wipes clean. Even has an on-screen gauge to show if you’re getting too close to the 5kg. weight limit. Loverly. 😊

I use this scale everyday – it’s my second of this make from OXO (the previous one lasted at least 5 years if not more) and I also have another smaller style OXO that I take with me to restaurants. I’ve been using food scales for all my meals for the last 18 years, and OXO scales have greater accuracy (weights don’t bounce around), longevity, and convenience (pull out display).

I wanted a scale that could do the following:
(1) be able to see the readout without the item being weighed covering it up
(2) have a large and lighted display that I could read without wearing my glasses
(3) that did not turn off quickly after a few seconds
It met ALL of my expectations! And while somewhat expensive, I love it.

Easy to use and read the results. Option for lb/kg. Takes up little space on the counter. Pull out extender is helpful when weighing a large container.
