I know my wife was looking for a kitchen scale so I decided to surprise her with this one, cuz from what she tells me, "little stuff" like this makes her happy. On the day it was suppose to arrive, I walked up to my door after a long days work, wondering how happy and surprised she would be, and hoping she would be nice to me like BEFORE we got married. I casually walked in with a smile on my face only to be welcomed home by my lovely wife and what I can only describe as a noise concoction of a chainsaw, jackhammer, and a wailing cat in heat all in one(anyone ever hear a cat in heat before?). Here's the highlight of that civil conversation:
" OMG WHY DID YOU BUY THIS, I JUST BOUGHT ONE TODAY! "
" Oh, I didn't know. Thought you'd like this one..."
" OMG I SPENT ALL THIS TIME RESEARCHING, AND I BOUGHT THE ONE I DID FOR A REASON !"
" Oh, well I researched it too. Lets check it out..."
I figured I didn't want to completely forfeit any dignity I had left so I chose to defy the odds and defend the scale I purchased against my wife . We kept it civilized as we both calmly opened up our respective scales and set them down next to each other on our dining room table to juxtapose and compare. Right off the bat, we both agreed mine looked better--mine was contemporary, sleek, thin, and sexy. The specs were nearly identical but the wifey's was some gargantuan amalgamation of cheap plastic and glass that she picked up at Bed Bath & Beyond. And not to mention that she paid almost double what I paid for my scale even with shipping. I thought it was a homerun , but she decides to pull a "looks aren't everything" card on me. So I reach in my pocket and pull out some change that I had. From what I know, Nickels are exactly 5 grams so I put one on both scales. So far so good as they both read 5 grams. I then put 3 Nickels on her scale but the scale read 16 grams. Sensing victory is near, I quickly put 3 on my scale. With a big smile on my face, I read out 15 grams. Not wanting sleep on the couch that night I quickly refrained from any victory dancing and humbly and respectfully asked her to return her scale, which she made me do...
In a head-to-head faceoff with another scale, The Ozeri Ultra Slim scale was the victor, and so far, its been perfect. As a scale, it is accurate, consistent, and easy to use and clean. I feel like this review has rambled on a little too long, but overall, its a great scale that works and looks fantastic!

Update: I now feel that this scale is too flaky for me to use for baking. It's auto-off'd in the middle of my adding ingredients one too many times, and today I tare'd it after adding something, walked to the sink to get water, returned a few seconds later, and it read "-178g" rather than 0. I re-tare'd it, but really this behavior just isn't ok. I'm going to replace it with a model that has an ac-adapter available, perhaps a My Weigh KD-7000, or an Escali 136DK, so that it doesn't auto-off in the middle of things. (I'm not wandering off and leaving it alone when it switches off like this - I'm actively adding ingredients, if perhaps not quickly enough for its liking if I'm trying to accurately measure e.g. 20 more grams of water.)
[original review follows]
I bought this scale to use for measuring ingredients for making bread. It's working really well for that - seems accurate (based on my measuring other things in my kitchen that I knew the weight of), and has plenty of room for me to be able to have a large mixing bowl on it and still be able to see the display. Here are things that I think could be a bit better:
(1) the auto-off after inactivity time is set a little too short for me - if I've added some ingredients and wander off to get more, it sometimes turns off before I get back, which is annoying if I'm not sure how much of an ingredient I've got in there - I need to be vigilant about making sure I know before I wander off. I can always weigh it again, but if I've tared it and not remembered how much I've tared, I could be losing information.
(2) I wish it registered new weights a little bit more quickly as I'm adding them (e.g. when I'm adding flour or water a little at a time to get up to a certain weight, I sometimes go over because it's a bit behind the amount I'm adding - I need to add ingredients pretty slowly to compensate. I don't know if this rate is standard for kitchen scales of this type, or if it reflects some sort of engineering compromise needed to keep the scale so thin.
(3) My old scale only had 2 units, grams and ounces, to cycle between. This scale has the same two, but duplicates them with "volume" measurements (cubic ounces, and mls). But it doesn't measure volume, just weight, so these measurements duplicate grams and ounces, and mean you have to press more times to cycle between the two, instead of just toggling between 2. Minor annoyance.
Nonetheless, this scale is more precise than my last one, and much smaller, with the consequence that I store it more conveniently located and use it more - overall I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others. I also like the fact that it displays the battery status.

I ordered this on thursday night and I received this Monday morning! The scale itself is also great as well. I'm taking a special cooking class with a friend and we all require kitchen scales. I chose this scale because it was so thin and it even fits in my purse. Its easy clean, and its weighing platform is large enough to cater to most of my needs yet small and thin enough to be portable. And not to mention it looks really sleek and modern. A little trick I've learned from cooking with kitchen scales is to use a nickle, which weighs exactly 5 grams to test the accuracy of the scale, and so far, this scale seems to be on par in terms of accuracy and consistency. Its been a perfect scale so far, and I greatly recommend this to everyone.
