" ... It's accurate and very easy to use. ... "
" ... If you need an accurate scale that's easy to use as well as sturdy, this is the one for you. ... "
" ... If you want to measure very small quantities like that, get a small scale accurate to .01 g and use that, that's what it's for. ... "
" ... It is accurate, easy to use and not horribly expensive. ... "
" ... Not only is it accurate, it is consistent. ... "
" ... This one uses decimals which is very accurate. ... "
" ... The scale’s accuracy is about the same as the previous version. ... "

" ... Easy to use, quick to zero, the pull out display is great for larger size dishes. ... "
" ... I particularly love the pull out display. ... "
" ... I like being able to pull screen out from under large bowl placed on scale. ... "
" ... I really like the display's slide out feature. ... "
" ... I have only used this a short time, but it is very accurate, easy to read switch between measurement display. ... "
" ... Easy to read- display pulls out so you can see it even if the item being weighed is large. ... "
" ... The fact that the screen pulls out is a huge help when we are weighing the adult snakes. ... "
" ... The new features are nice but not game changing: The lighted display is easier to read than the previous passive display, the tare function is now part of the on/off switch. ... "

" ... It’s easy to zero out and easy to clean. ... "
" ... It works like a charm, is easy to read, easy to clean up, and takes up far less space than I thought it would. ... But a wipe later and it looks brand new. ... "
" ... Cleans up wonderfully and it’s useful when using oversized bowls when I’m baking. ... "
" ... This was supposed to have a platform that comes off for easy and complete cleaning, it does not. ... "
" ... I replaced an old kitchen scale with this new sleek stainless steel one. ... "
" ... After dropping our tempered glass kitchen scale we ordered this stainless one. ... "
" ... The plate comes off easily for cleaning and snaps back on in a breeze. ... "
" ... It's easy to use, easy to read, easy to clean and reliably informative and precise because it's so sensitive to what's being weighed. ... "

" ... It will tolerate more weight than my last kitchen scale. ... "
" ... Definite a great little scale. ... "
" ... This scale appears to be solid built with a bit of heft to it. ... "
" ... Great scale for heavy weights just make sure you have a smaller one to compliment it for weighing smaller gram measurements. ... "
" ... I finally took on a weight loss challenge and knew it was a valuable tool. ... Now that I know exactly how many calories I'm consuming the weight is coming off. ... "
" ... It goes up to 11 kg and has a scale so you can see how much of the total weight you've added, this helps to prevent overloading the scale and damaging it, which is nice. ... "
" ... We needed a scale to weigh our reptiles. ... "
" ... If your accuracy requirements require measurements down to a tenth of a gram use scales such as the Smart Weigh Digital Pro Pocket Scale. ... "

" ... I got it to measure ingredients for use with a bread maker. ... "
" ... I make a lot of sourdough bread and is is an accurate and can measure grams and ounces! ... "
" ... It was best in Cook’s Country and I can agree. ... "
" ... I also like that it stays turned on a bit longer so you have extra time to check your recipe etc. ... "
" ... Just as Cooks Illustrated said, this scale is the TOPS!! ... "
" ... Bought this for my wife, who loves to cook. ... "
" ... It was helpful when I had to measure a very large bowl. ... "
" ... It’s been perfect for bread ingredient requirements. ... "

" ... That one lasted me several years before it started to break down. ... "
" ... Also, after 6 months of daily use the scale top is looking pretty scratched up. ... "
" ... The only negative thing is sometimes when I pull the scale out, the front piece comes loose which is annoying. ... "
" ... The removable platform is poorly designed and does not come off, or go on easily. ... The structure that holds the platform bent when I tried to remove the platform the first time. ... The edges catch the plastic and it's not coming off without enough force to damage the scale. ... "
" ... ALL of them have broken. ... "

" ... I'm not sure if I like that it uses 4 AAA batteries and don't know yet what the battery life will be. ... I happen to already have a some AAA rechargeable batteries so will switch to those if the battery life seem short. ... "
" ... The other scale operated on two AAA batteries where as the OXO operates on four. ... "
" ... We really like the standard AAA battery type. ... The batteries last for a long while, but when their time has come--- triple A’s are easily available for replacement. ... "
" ... Powered by two AA batteries, the battery life on it is superb. ... "
" ... The battery life is great too! ... "

" ... The size is perfect - holds my largest bowl but doesn't take up too much counter space. ... "
" ... Space is at a premium and I didn't think this one, reviewed by American Test Kitchen could be worth the price. ... "
" ... It's small, easy to use, works well, love the tray that pulls out. ... "
" ... Works as it is expected to do, great kitchen scales, only thing I would like added is some kind of hard case for storage, because you shouldn't stack items on the scale in storage, and you know how stuff always ends up stacked up on top of things, hard case would keep scales in working order ... "
" ... Perfect size to sit on counter. ... "
" ... Works accurately, thin enough and small enough not to take up space or clutter my counter. ... "
" ... So easy to use, easy to store on side tucked in-between stuff on counter, compact ... "
" ... Other scales use the flat round type I typically don't have in my junk drawer. ... "

" ... The tare function is very easy to use, but the requirement for a tactile push of a button rather than a tap means that you can't accidentally press it simply by brushing the button. ... "
" ... I love the tactile buttons, really easy to scroll through oz/gram choices AND an on/off button. ... "
" ... You can see the numbers with ease and can go back and forth between ounces and grams by the click of a button. ... "
" ... This scale has buttons that click when pressed. ... This scale has real buttons and those work better for me. ... "
" ... This change was necessitated because a simple click now is the Tare function. ... "

" ... This is worth the money. ... "
" ... All in all, I liked the Ozeri scale (the price was a lot less), but the convenience of this Oxo scale makes it superb for my use. ... "
" ... Not cheap, but worth it. ... "
" ... I love this scale and gladly paid the price. ... "

" ... This one was a bit tough, considering scales that perform the same function and are comparable in features, tend to be 10% to 30% less in price! ... It had all the features I wanted and that the OXO offered + some, less the removable readout. ... "
" ... Like very much the new features. ... "
" ... This is a great feature. ... "
" ... I'd like to point out two features this scale has that I really appreciate as compared to a couple other scales I have owned in the past. ... "
