Pro Digital Kitchen Food Scale, 0.05 Oz To 12 Lbs (1 Gram To 5.4 Kg)

The Ozeri Pro Digital Kitchen Food Scale at $12.22 is a great little scale for a small price. Frankly, I was tempted to give this scale only one star just so people would read the review. I really don’t trust the Five Star Reviews anymore, too many are obviously baloney. The Kitchen Scale reviews are also loaded with Five Star fluff from people who gave their “honest review” after getting theirs free. After pouring over the scale reviews for a couple of hours and taking note of what seemed to be unscrupulous five star reviews when balanced against the honest one star reviews, I chose this one And I Paid For Mine. Let’s get to the scale. It measures in grams, kilograms, ounces and pounds. It has a tare function. It weighs to the nearest whole gram (no tenths), and this scale is right on the money. The capacity is stated to be 12 pounds. I have a laboratory grade Ohaus triple beam scale that I used for four trials. On the Ohaus, I weighed an item that came in at 147.3 grams and the Ozeri gave me 147 grams. Next item weighed 294.7 grams on the Ohaus and the Ozeri came in at 295 grams. The next item weighed 2,146.4 grams (4.7lbs.) on the Ohaus and the Ozeri measured 2,146 grams. Finally, I put the item that weighed 2,146 grams on the Ozeri and tared it, giving me a reading of zero and then put the 294.7 gram item on top and the Ozeri read 295 grams. It doesn’t get any better than that, folks. It’s perfect to the nearest gram and the tare function works perfectly. I am very happy with this scale. I almost bought the EatSmart Precision Elite Digital Kitchen Scale with the 15 lb. capacity offered on Amazon for $36.95. The fact that it cost almost three times as much was not relevant for me. What was relevant was the whole slew of One Star Reviews from customers that were very unhappy with both it’s accuracy and reliability. The real deal killer was Winter Solstice’s one star review that drew 31 comments! He hit the nail on the head when he alleged that a good number of the Five Star Reviews appear to be phony as fur on a fish. Many of the comments had been removed. WTF? Shouldn’t we be privy to all the comments so we can all make our own informed decisions? What’s going on here? Many of the comments to Winter Solstice’s review basically accused him of sour grapes, so I took a look at his other reviews. Winter Solstice seems to be a bit of a tree-hugging vegetarian that eats junk food and watches a lot of movies, but he also likes tools so is okay in my book. He also had a good mix of reviews and appears to be a very honest reviewer. I believe him, and was left with a deep suspicion of the EatSmart brand and its 8,000 reviews(!). It was already in my cart, and I deleted it. Then there was the Five Star Ozeri Review where Jackrbike contrasted the Ozeri against the EatSmart Precision Pro (EATSMART VS. OZERI SCALES--WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS. . .). THAT review drew 21 comments. I look at Jackrbike’s other reviews and found a good mix of one to five stars reviews – another honest reviewer. Jackrbike’s thoughtful review tipped the scales for me (pun intended)! Wow, Amazon reviews have become a bit of a minefield, but the bottom line is this Ozeri is a very good scale at a good price; you’ll be happy with it.

This is my first digital kitchen scale, so this is a significant upgrade from my old spring-based w/ plastic needle model. I took a chance on this one because of the affordable price, and I am very happy with my purchase. The "tare" feature allows me to subtract the weight of the container, giving me an accurate measure of the contents. The weighing surface is large enough to accommodate a cereal bowl easily, while still being able to read the large display. I even weighed a whole butternut squash on the scale the other night. I have tested accuracy by shifting things around (from one side to the other, etc.) and always get consistent measurings. I feel pretty confident that my results are accurate. In addition, the slim profile of the scale makes it easy to store in a drawer or above a canister in a cabinet. The display is large, so I can see the numbers easily. It measures in pounds, ounces, and grams, and you can toggle through the settings on the fly. Overall, it's a great little scale, and so far, it works perfectly for my kitchen measuring needs. Why pay more?

This is a high quality food scale at a very reasonable price. Its functions are very clearly labeled, the display is large and is not dimmed by too much light being shone on it, and the buttons are large and easy to press. Its measurements are precise and accurate, as I tested with weights. I like that it has a large platform for weighing things (food obviously). It has worked well in a variety of conditions. One use that I found great was in weighing raw hamburger meat. I found it easy to put a piece of parchment paper on it, tare the parchment paper, and quickly weigh and remove multiple meat balls for pressing hamburgers into similar dimensions and weights. Cleanup was a breeze afterwards because of the construction of the unit. It's also very easy to put a bowl or plate on top of the platform and weigh things that way, whether it be solids or liquids. I'd highly recommend this scale and it's easily a bargain. I've had it for about 3 months now and its function is just as good as it was the day I received it

I've been using this scale for a little over a year now and it's still working very well (surprisingly still using the same set of batteries). Overall, this is a great digital scale for the price you pay. It looks nice, so you can leave it out in your kitchen / work area / etc. It's got a low profile, so you can easily find a place to store it. Regarding the functionality -- it's very easy to use and quite accurate. By the push of the 'unit' button, you can toggle through measurements for gram / ounce / pound / kilogram. Its smallest increment is 1 gram, so if you need .1 or .5 gram accuracy then this scale won't work for you, but it's great for everything else up to 12 lbs. For day-to-day cooking / random projects, it's a really nice scale. I use it almost every other day and it's still going strong. Sometimes the buttons don't register when I push them, and the gram reading changes every once and a while as something's sitting on it, but other than those little annoyances, it's a great product - especially for the price.

I've previously ordered Ozeri scales, and they worked well. But I ordered this one in October, started using it in December. Worked fine for about 7 weeks, and I've followed all instructions for proper care and usage, but then it started getting wildly inaccurate. The Tare function also would rarely go right to zero; it'd fluctuate between 0 grams, 1 gram and 2 grams. Frustrating. An inaccurate scale is pretty useless in the kitchen, needless to say. Trying to return it, but of course Amazon throws infinite obstacles in your way if the item is over 30 days old. In any case, would not recommend buying their scales now if this one is typical of Ozeri's current commitment to quality.
