About this deal
The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. After six years of wear and tear, Lesley’s Ozeri finally died, but she quickly replaced it with another that she’s had for the past 8 months. Furthermore, the line offers a wide range of models to choose from, so that you can find the perfect scale for your needs. The INEVIFIT Digital Kitchen Scale had even more trouble with heavier weights, underestimating the kilogram weight by 4 grams.
PERFECT DESIGN: ABS plastic frame (food grade material) can weigh food directly, stainless steel platform makes the scale more durable.
Our winners fell in the middle, with the OXO taking three and a half seconds and the Escali two seconds.
What we didn’t like: It has a much lower maximum weight than our other top kitchen scale picks at just 6.Cuisinart Balance Pro Digital Kitchen Scale and Cuisinart ProVantage Digital Kitchen Scale: These scales were among the most expensive and least accurate of the models we tested.
We also looked for scales with reasonably sized platforms, ones that are large enough to easily fit a mixing bowl or bag of onions, but not so big that storage of the scale would become an issue.The 1byone 700US-0001 Digital Kitchen Precise Cooking Baking Scale is pretty similar in design to our budget pick, the Ozeri Pronto. We found that some scales displayed greater inaccuracies with this test; the worst performer was off by seven grams.
Cookbook author Peter Reinhart told us that for years he has happily used a cheap food scale that offers only an on/off button and a tare feature. Energy efficient, portable, and stackable with a stainless steel platform and programmable backlit display. Our industrial and laboratory gram scales can be combined with a scale indicator, software solution, or a variety of simple-to-integrate accessories, to achieve complete process control and visibility.While most performed well, a few were off by as much as 20 grams, and one scale could not even complete the test, repeatedly timing out before all the salt was measured. Accurate measurements: The best scales weigh things accurately and consistently—whether 10 grams or 10 pounds. However, it’s worth pointing out that the pocket scales have a natural disadvantage in this test precisely because they can read to the first decimal point.
