Top critical review
1.0 out of 5 starsBuyer beware..needs expensive batteries that run out quickly and mechanism is temperamental

Just received this product a week ago. My last food scale cost more than twice the price of this and was an OXO and very poorly designed. This Ozeri scale so far is a delight to use. Two buttons one is the on off, tare button and the other one is for either ounces or grams. The only tricky thing was that to shut the power off you simply have to press the on off button longer which the instruction book makes no mention of. I figured it out myself but why doesn't the instruction book say this? Hello Ozeri are you listening? The design is almost identical in size and weight and color and thickness to the smaller version IPad. It really looks like an ipad which is great.
I'm writing a follow up review. After only 6 months of use I'm having issues with this scale. At times it won't function for a few minutes at all. Gibberish will show rather than weight. This is not related to needing new batteries. It still happened after replacing them. Also be aware this only take lithium ion batteries which are expensive and cost about 7 dollars everytime they run out. I'm already on my third pair! Be aware that the scale may be cheap up front in price but I'd prefer that it take AA batteries which are much cheaper. When it works its good but its getting more and more temperamental. Buyer beware. I've downgraded my score to 1 star.
