This was an impulse buy and now I love using it. The scale easily fits on my counter top and is an easy clean up. It provides me with quick access to a scale without all the fuss - useful for those who want to control portion sizes. Plus, it's kid friendly!

This scale works pretty well for the price, but I need something that will accurately weigh small amounts, like 4 - 6 ounces, and this one doesn't seem to accomplish that. If I put a 4 oz item on the scale, then weigh another item, and then return the first item to the scale, the weight will be different. For heavier items, it is more consistent.

I found this scale quite easy to use. It is quite basic and simple. The numbers are small, so if you have a hard time reading this might not be for you.

I love this scale. The little guide at the base spins around. It takes up very little counter space and it's much nicer looking than the larger plastic scales.

This is a great little scale. It's not as precise as a digital scale would be, but it serves me well in my daily cooking and baking activities. It's small and therefore takes up very little space, which is an asset in my minute kitchen. It has a nice, simple design and is easy to clean.

I recently moved from home, so I needed a new kitchen, in essence. I bought this scale to help with everyday measuring of meat, potatoes, etc. So far it has not served me wrong!

It is NOT a high tech device - which is a good thing for me. I wanted a simple, reliable device to measure things every once in a while. I probably use this scale a few times a month - which it is perfect for.

It has a durable, plastic bowl and a very sensitive scale. It's very easy to set the scale and the bowl is easy to hand-wash or put in the dishwasher.

The only qualms I have with this scale is the readings. I didn't need a fancy digital scale, and this scale IS easy to read for larger measurements (up to 5lbs) but it is a little vague in terms of grams. It's easy enough to guesstimate, which honestly, is fine for me, but don't expect to be able to calculate 312 grams without some strong reading glasses!

Overall, I love this scale - it is easy to use, clean, and most importantly - store! Great purchase.

This is a good scales. It's reasonably the bowl is a decent size, but it's difficult to accurately set it to zero without significant error. But for what I use it for, it's fine.

Overall, I don't think it was worth what I paid for it, but it does what it says on the box, so I'm happy with it.

I really love this little scale!
It stores very easily, is ridiculously easy to use, and adjusts so that you can get an accurate reading no matter what container you put your items in. I actually have not ever used the bowl that comes with it, as I usually measure directly in the dish I will be eating from, or in ziplock baggies.
My only issue with the product is that 90% of the things I weigh are under 200g, which makes it difficult to get a totally precise measurement on such small quantities. But overall, it gets the job done, is convenient to use, and I use it pretty much every day, so it was certainly worth the small price I paid for it!

Grade: B+

The Add-n-weight option is wonderful! This product is exactly what it says it is.

Very poor quality. Plastic bowl has already cracked. Would not order again.
