For accuracy when cooking and baking, the Ozeri digital kitchen scale offers multiple functions and a great design. The scale has a capacity range from a mere 0.05 ounces to 11 pounds (1 gram to 5 kilograms) and displays results in both the U.S. and international metric systems (grams, ounces, pounds, kilograms). Its large screen features a bright LCD with an improved viewing angle for the on-the-go cook. An automatic tare button quickly calculates the net weight of ingredients by subtracting the weight of the container in which the ingredients are placed. This is helpful for measuring ingredients that need to be contained in a bowl or on a plate. The scale with subtract the weight of the bowl or plate. Oversized buttons on the scale generate an audible click confirmation for the fast-paced cook, and a 3-minute automatic turn-off preserves battery life while allowing time to confirm each measurement. The scale is finished in elegant chrome, so it looks nice in any kitchen, and it's sized for easy storage and portability. The scale requires two AAA batteries for power and it comes included with a set.

Great Scale - But kind of cheap,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ozeri Pro Digital Kitchen Food Scale, 1g to 12 lbs Capacity, Elegant Chrome (Kitchen)
This is a great kitchen scale. I have to weigh a lot of meat for homemade sausage. I've never had a scale that would weigh more than about three pounds of kitchen ingredients, so I'm really happy with this scale. I've weighed over ten pounds of meat (plus about a pound of tare for the bowl). That's probably the most I can fit in a steel kitchen bowl without the bowl getting wobbly and tippy. The scale is actually sensitive enough that the numbers start to fluctuate as the bowl gets unbalanced.
____________________________ I LOVE: * I bought this on sale ($12), so I love the price. * I love the simple means of zeroing out the tare. You can either put your bowl on the scale before you turn it on and it will subtract the weight of the bowl to start at zero pounds, or you can turn it on, place the bowl on the scale, and press the on/off/tare button to zero it out. * It's simple to cycle through the units of measure: gram, kilo, ounce, or pound. Very cool! * I don't know if it does this for every unit of measure, but when weighing pounds, the readout is precise to three (or maybe four--I forget) decimal places. That's almost too much information, but it shows me when the tare is off and shows me when the bowl is unbalanced and rocking. ____________________________ I DON'T LOVE: * The picture makes it look like the base is brushed metal. It's not. It's very flimsy plastic. I doubt it will last more than a few years. * It's hard to turn it off. I guess you're supposed to just leave it on and let it turn itself off. This leads to my next gripe. * If it automatically times out and shuts itself off, you have to dump out all of your ingredients and start over. This happened twice while I was trimming meat. I dropped the finished meat in the bowl as I trimmed it. But if I waited too long it would timeout and turn itself off. If I turned it back on, it would assume that the whole bowl of meat was tare and zero out. So I had to dump out all the meat and reset the tare. After this happened twice, I just bounced the bowl occasionally if I hadn't dropped anything in recently. I know a kitchen scale isn't much to get excited about, but I really like this one. I'm just sad that I know it won't last very long.

worked well for 30 days, then died,

I liked this scale as first because it was accurate, allowed me to switch between units (which was important to me, since I often use recipes with metric units) and had a functional design. However, exactly three days after the return window for this item expired the scale "died". The on/off button started failing first, the units button followed, then it was only giving me gibberish. Too bad, I liked this scale and I am still sorry that I spent $25 on this piece of junk.

This review is from: Ozeri Pro Digital Kitchen Food Scale, 1g to 12 lbs Capacity, Elegant Chrome (Kitchen)
I bought this scale for my wife a little over two months ago after she asked for it to aid in her knitting. It worked fine for a while and then some of the buttons got kind of sticky. Now its dead. Changes batteries to no effect.
No documentation on the unit to find customer service. So back to square one. Probably invest in something high quality to give her for the holiday.
