Digital Kitchen Scale by ZERLA, Multifunction Food Scale with Range from 0.04oz to 11lbs, White

This is a great little kitchen scale. It's pretty much everything you need for kitchen functionality. I have three other scales around the house for various uses.. most of which are more expensive than this unit but it des everything they do.Compared to my other units, this guy is lighter and has a faster response time. I also love that the scale doesn't turn off on its own for a few minutes so you have plenty of time to do your business without having to worry about it shutting off. That's an annoyance with one of my other units so that's a nice feature. It does turn off automatically, but not for a few minutes.Been using it for a week and it's accurate compared to my other units, durable and easy to clean. Definitely no complains. Accuracy is down to the graham, so should be suitable for even baking uses.... can't beat that for the price.

DIGITAL KITCHEN SCALE BY ZERLAThis is the BEST food scale EVER. Trust me on this!This is a pretty simple scale to use. You press the TARE button to turn it off or on. You push the left button for unit of measure. You can measure in ounces, grams, pounds. The screen is easy and bright for your reading convenience. Portion control has never been easier.We use this scale to measure out foods but we also use it to measure ground beef. We purchase bulk ground beef and like to divide it into one pound bags for freezing. This was always a guessing game until now. We just put the meat in a bowl and add the beef until it is at the one pound point. Simple, easy, convenient.Another great thing about this scale is when you put a container on the scale to measure ANYTHING - the scale automatically subtracts the weight of that container and you are left with the exact measurement of the item in that container. How cool is that?The scale comes with two AAA batteries. When said batteries are low and need changing the screen will indicate "lo". You must plug in unit to charge when necessary.This is a home kitchen scale and should not be used for industrial use. It is a great buy for the price. Our daughter has two of these in her home for her uses. There is also a money back guarantee within 30 days of use if you are not happy with this scale. Who could not be happy with this? It is accurate, precise, and measures very efficiently.Recommended.

The media could not be loaded. For years, I’ve weighed everything before I eat it to know that I’m not eating too much or too little. My old food scale started fluctuating and not weighing properly, so it was time to get another. On the old one, the display was directly under the top of the scale, so even a small plate cast a shadow that made it difficult to read, so I knew I wanted one like the Zerla that is more offset. The Zerla screen is much brighter and easier to see at more severe angles.To test if a food scale works properly, I always use Skittles candy. Each Skittle weighs one gram, so it’s easy to add one Skittle at a time and see if it counts up properly. The Zerla food scale weighed perfectly, but note that it does take a half-second longer to register the weight than my old one did. It’s not so long that I’d consider it a flaw, it’s just a difference I noticed.The Zerla food scale has all of the usual features of a tare button to zero out the weight of the plate before adding food, and it can weigh in units of grams, pounds, ounces, and milliliters. Like my old scale, this one turns itself off automatically to save battery power, but my old one turned off after only 50 seconds, so it would shut off while I was still preparing food and trying to weigh it. The Zerla scale, on the other hand, stays on for a full 2 minutes and 6 seconds, which is long enough for me to do what I need to do.Overall, this food scale performed exactly as it should, and I didn’t find any flaws with it, so I highly recommend you give it a try. 5/5 stars

The media could not be loaded. It's ready to go right out of the box, with two AAA batteries included (standard generic batteries). I've compared a few different weights, and it seems accurate so far, so I have no complaints in that department.The instructions that come with it are fairly simple and to the point. I've used a few different types of these scales and they're all about the same in how to use them. The scale itself weighs about 12.5 oz with batteries.The tare button is the on/off button and the tare button. To turn off, the scale has to be at 0, so if it's not, you have to tare first, then when it's at 0, push the tare button again and it will shut off, or just wait two minutes and it will shut itself off.You can change weight between gram, mL, oz and lb. The gram/mL is in single increments, so my cup that weighs 8.33g rounded down to 8g, which is correct. For items that are lighter and need an accurate weight, I usually use my smaller scale. You want the right scale for the job, so I have my gram scale that goes out to 1.000 that I use for things that are generally under an ounce, this one for most of my basic measurements, and then I have a larger scale for heavier things, but this one has turned into my all purpose scale for most things that aren't too heavy.My only complaint is that silly save your batteries function, where the scale shuts itself off at 2 minutes due to inactivity (and less time if the batteries are low) This happens even if something is on it and a weight is showing. Sometimes I realize that an ingredient I need is far away, and by the time I get back, the scale had shut off, and I lost the measurement of what I was weighing. I understand the saving battery function, but really wish this was an option for me to decide if I want my batteries wasted or not, or at least an option for more time before it shuts off.The color seems a bit off in the ad as well, it's more on the cream colored side, and it looks more silverish to me in the picture, but that could be my computer screen. It's mostly beige.The instructions are poorly written but mostly understandable, I misunderstood the instructions prior to making my video that the scale would warn you if it wasn't on a level surface, but that was wrong, I think what the instructions were saying is that if the object you are weighing is rolling around, the scale will tell you "unst" to warn you that the measurement might be off.Overall I'm quite happy with this one, but I took off the star because of the lack of function to turn off the battery saver mode.
