I purchased this scale mainly to help me track my food intake as part of a basic diet and nutrition plan. The first one I ordered arrived but malfunctioned and was returned. The second one has worked well for over 2 months now. Pros and cons below.

**This is NOT a paid or subsidized review. [...]

PROS
* Small profile doesn't take up a lot of counter space.
* Looks nice.
* Easy to clean - I just wipe it down with a Clorox wipe.
* Simple and intuitive to use.
* Allows for measurements in a variety of units (grams, ounces, pounds, etc)
* The "tare" button is the best feature because it lets me zero out the weight of a container like a small plate or bowl, and only weigh the food that I put inside that container or bowl.
* Long battery life. I've used it daily for over a month and it has about 1/3 battery life left.
* Accurate.
* Lightweight and easy to move around, store, or travel with.

CONS
* If you want to put a dinner plate on the scale, zero out the scale, and then weigh the food that you put on the plate, the rim of the plate will obscure the screen (see image).
* The first scale I received malfunctioned right away, but the second one has been great. I don't know how much of a fluke it was that the first scale malfunctioned.

Overall it's been a great addition to the kitchen. I would buy this scale again.

Works great. Very happy with this scale. Purchased to use as part of a weight loss plan. I used it to measure out everything from beef jerky and baked chips to chicken and turkey for on the grill. It obviously isn't solely because of this scale but it has certainly helped in me losing 100lbs so far.

Verified Consistant Results Using a Carbon Steel 100g OIML Class M1: 5 mg Calibration Weight

September 23, 2016

Color: RedVerified Purchase

I bought this scale a while back because I had a more expensive $45 glass scale from Target that seemed like it was not really consistent with weight results; to the point I purchased a Carbon Steel 100g OIML Class M1: 5 mg Calibration Weight. After testing my glass scale with the certified calibration weight, I quickly learned that the glass scale was definitely not consistent in providing weigh results. After receiving the Ozeri scale, I tested with my calibration weigh and the scale provided consistent results; $45 scale is out, and the $14 scale is in.

I was torn on whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. I think given the fact that I use it every single day and that I have come to rely on it, the scale warrants a rating of 4 stars. I, however, have some issues with the scale which I detail below in order of importance to me:

1. Usually I feel this scale is spot on, however, occasionally, the scale with jump back in forth between two numbers that are .03 of an ounce off. It happens with all sorts of food, I'm just not sure what the problem is -- sometimes it just can't make up its mind. This is a little annoying to me as I like to be as precise as possible, but it may not annoy you.

2. As many reviewers have noted, the display is small and thoughtlessly placed relative to the scale platform, so yes, your view is obstructed when using bigger dishes. I honestly thought I would not be vexed by this, but I have to admit it does get rather annoying to have to keep bending down to get a view of the readout.

3. Not sure if this is just my scale or not, but ever since day 1 the plastic coating that goes over the black portion of the scale seems to be bubbling and is very worn at the on/tare button. This is more of a cosmetic issue, but it still is a little bothersome.

Despite these issues I have to give the product 4 stars. It has helped me tremendously while recording my meals, I haven't had to replace the batteries since I purchased it several months ago, it does automatically go off but in an appropriate amount of time (I've never had it go off on me while I was cooking), it has several different units of measurement, and the tare option works great. Overall for the money I spent on this, I am confident I purchased the best scale at this price point.

Love this scale. Works great. I like that I can put a plate on it, zero it out and start measuring various foods so that I don't have to clean it over and over

I have had the scale for about 4 months, loved it while it was working, and it is for weighing my diabetic dogs food, so it is a necessity. A couple of weeks ago the numbers became blurred .. all of them showed up looking like 8s across the screen, replaced batteries, tried to reset per the direction of the seller .. now nothing works.

Have been trying to contact the seller again, no response .. not so happy with the no hassel replacement warranty, and after 4 months??? Even expressing my urgency and need, not all scales are the same, and this is what I was basing my dogs food weights on, in turn, her insulin dosage. Its been a mess. Still waiting for a reply. Product quality is important, but so is the seller standing behind their product. Very frustrated.

I purchased this to weigh my bulk supplements for weight gaining and bought some calibration weights to go along with it, based on previous reviews. I wanted to be sure that this $15 (on sale) kitchen scale wouldn't put me overboard for my supplements.

I received my shipment today and immediately set up and tested the scale. Turns out, mine works perfectly. I even went from 50g to 1g and back with no issues. I'll post an update if anything changes, but it looks like this is the scale I needed!

I think that this scale is not as sensitive as it makes you think is.

Great Scale. I can use the buttons without it adjusting the weight of what's currently on the scale which is fantastic. Had the issue with a previous scale.Read more

I have had this scale since March 2017, and use it every day. I use it to weigh recipe ingredients in cooking. Some recipes call for grams, ounces, etc.Read more

I was a little worried about the quality for the price, but it’s terrific. The ease of changing units is a great feature.
