Etekcity0.1g Food Scale, Bowl, Digital Grams and Ounces for Weight Loss, Dieting, Baking, Cooking, and Meal Prep, 11lb/5kg, Stainless Steel Black

This is a great purchase! It ‘s basically plug & play. It looks very nice, and is accurate from the first moment. Great value for the money. It’s compact so easy to store but also looks nice enough to keep in the open.

I bought this is 2020 when I decided to try out baking (we all know why), and I just had to change the batteries. Three little AAA batteries have kept this thing going strong for four years. It's a great tool for the kitchen, and the bowl that comes with it is also super handy to have. It's an amazing value, awesome battery life, great size, and the weights are always super accurate. It's also user friendly.

UPDATE: 3 years later and no issues. I haven't even had to change the batteries yet! 🤗--------------------I am very pleased with this product. I bought it to replace an aging scale that had a few annoyances. I was pleasantly surprised at how this scale performed.THE GOOD:1. It remembers which unit I'm using, so if the display turns off and I have to turn it back on, I don't have to wait until it zeros out and switch from ounces back to grams every time like I did with my old scale. Such a simple feature, but soooo helpful! 🤗2. It seems to maintain its accuracy throughout the measuring process. As I was adding small amounts of ingredients, to increase the weight to the exact grams I needed, it was quick to respond accurately.3. After finishing that process, it returned to exactly zero, when I removed the container. 😏 My previous scale would often return to a negative number and I would need to re-zero the scale and weigh the ingredients again to be sure.4. The display is very easy for me to read. The LCD is very responsive and quick to react to changes in data. The backlight helps make it more readable. 🧐5. There is a lot of information on the screen. I don't prepare a lot of dough myself, but I presume the ambient temperature readout in 10ths of a degree, would be very useful.It's also nice to have a timer built into the scale, eliminating the need to have a separate timer occupying kitchen countertop space.When the scale is at exactly zero, the word, "ZERO" appears on the left, reassuring me that the scale is exactly zeroed out and not a fraction of an ounce/gram off.THE BAD:6. I washed the bowl before using it the first time. However, when I started measuring items for the first time, I was measuring out chopped sweet peppers, which were fairly wet. So I wiped out the bowl with a paper towel between ingredients.The first time I wiped it out, I noticed a significant amount of grey (metal?) on the paper towel. 😳 So I took it to the sink and scrubbed it with a brush and dish soap.As I continued to measure more sweet peppers and wipe the bowl in between measurements, I still noticed more gray residue on the paper towel, only not nearly as much. I can only assume that the acidity of the peppers was reacting with the bowl. After 3 or 4 more times, the gray stopped appearing on the paper towel.I would suggest washing the bowl several times with dish soap and perhaps wiping it down with something like lemon juice or vinegar, to get the bowl in proper shape before using it to measure ingredients.7. I find it frustrating that the shape of the scale is round. I purchase this round model because I liked the idea of having a dedicated bowl for the measuring process. I also liked the idea that the extra bowl wouldn't take up additional space, because I could store the scale inside the bowl, saving me storage space.I didn't think the round shape would be a big deal, but I'm in a wheelchair ♿ and need to keep items within easy reach. Because of this, my options of where I can store the scale are limited. The only place I have to store the scale, is standing up on its edge, on a shelf of a kitchen cabinet.Due to the fact that it's round, I end up leaning it against the side of the cabinet, to keep it from rolling. In practice, I am often standing the scale back on its edge after it's tipped over. 🤨I also found that needing to store it in this position, made it impossible to store the scale, together with the bowl, to save some space. 😒Perhaps this could be resolved by by designing the bowl and scale so they snapped together and putting a handle on the side of the bowl, giving it a flat surface to stand up on while in storage? 🤔

The size is great, food scale is stainless steel which I like. It’s easy to wash and easy to handle. It’s not expensive and very accurate.

I cook from scratch and prep all of my food. Every day. I perfect and document my recipes by weight and not volume. Grams. I have used a handful of scales over time and I like this one. I am not nominating it for world's greatest scale or anything, but I find it to be dependable, convenient and about the right size for use and storage.This particular purchase is my second of this particular model. I bought the first in December, 2020. I bought the second, a replacement, in May of 2022.Pros:I find this model to be accurate and largely trouble free. It is the right size: Large enough to be convenient in use, small enough to squirrel away in a drawer. Batteries last for a long time (although I am not a fan of discount batteries).Okay, the cons/rants...1. I don't appreciate the auto-off function. Let's explore this for a second. What is the purpose of the auto-off function? Is it to save battery life? Is this scale really pulling so much energy that you have to shut the thing down in two minutes??? While I am sidetracked or distracted with something else? Maybe I am prepping something while I am measuring. Maybe my phone rings in the middle of measuring flour. The scale should not run the kitchen!Can we compromise? How about five minutes prior to shut down? How about a way to disable the auto-off function?2. In a perfect world, a scale would last longer than... how long did my first scale last? 17 months? The first scale started becoming unreliable--not inaccurate--and was making me nervous. (Yes, I changed the batteries. LOL.)-- The unit button didn't have the same feel over time, although I rarely used it in the first place because I almost always use grams. I speculate that, over time, ingredients found their way into the cracks of the button, but that is pure speculation. I am a borderline perfectionist and not a slob. A humble guy mislabeled as a curmudgeon because I dislike kitchen visitors who leave things in disarray. "Get out of my kitchen." The problem is not a result of abuse.-- The unit settings started to change on its own, causing me to reset it to grams more than it did early in the product's life.-- A couple of times, the scale shut off on its own, well before the two-minute cook's deadline, in the middle of my measuring, causing me problems. This is what prompted me to replace the first scale. The last straw.So, why would I buy the same product again? Well, you have to look at the factors involved, and I use the scale relentlessly, for everything related to meals. I weigh coffee beans for our coffee when I wake up. I keep using it, all the way until I, say, measure mayo, mustard, lemon juice and honey to make honey mustard dressing (the whole process takes less than a minute) as I wrap up dinner prep. And, yes, I use it to make the mayo, too. I even have a spare so that I don't have an emergency situation. So, the thing got a lot of use.Should I take the risk that someone else's scale might be better??? Or should I go with the the devil you know, so to speak? Meh... I think this scale is at least four stars. And while I have listed some cons, I kinda like the thing. Moderate "everyday" use in a typical household should be worry free... just don't leave that scale idle for two minutes!!! Grrr!!! LOL.

I love this scale. It is perfect for baking use because it detects even small amounts. High quality and attractive! It’s small so it very easily to store.

This is the best scale I've ever bought for use in the kitchen. Seem to be very accurate over a wide range. In my opinion, it's the best choice on Amazon. Durable, and even after spilling water on it, it started working again after it dried out (not recommended :-) ). The controls are great, the interface is very simple, and the weights are spot on. I recommend.

I bought this scale because my other kitchen scale doesn't weigh anything under 1g. I've been weighing my portions of food for over a year and have lost 150 pounds. Portion sizes matter.This scale is absolutely perfect! Super easy to use, back lighted display is easy to read, and the scale doesn't time out in after 1 minute of sitting idol. The bowl is a great size and easy to use.10 out of 10 from me. I would highly recommended. You can't beat the value for the price.

La báscula es sencilla en su uso, eficiente y su diseño moderno y elegante. Los materiales son de calidad. Se recomienda limpiarla muy bien después de cada uso y evitar salpicarla o mojarla para prevenir que se manche u oxide por falta de limpieza. La recomiendo plenamente.

As someone who loves to cook and bake, I've had the opportunity to try out the Etekcity 0.1g food scale, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed with its accuracy and ease of use.One of the standout features of this food scale is its precise measurement capabilities. It can measure weights up to 11 pounds with an accuracy of 0.1g, making it perfect for weighing out small quantities of ingredients like spices, herbs, or even medication. It also has an easy-to-read LCD display that shows the weight in grams, ounces, or pounds and ounces, making it easy to switch between units.The scale is also incredibly easy to use, with just two buttons that allow you to turn it on, tare it, or switch the units of measurement. It also has a sleek and compact design that makes it easy to store in a kitchen drawer or cupboard when not in use.Another great feature of the Etekcity 0.1g food scale is its versatility. It comes with a detachable bowl that's perfect for weighing and measuring ingredients, but it can also be used without the bowl, allowing you to weigh items directly on the scale's surface.The only downside to this food scale is that it's not rechargeable, so you'll need to replace the batteries periodically. But this is a minor inconvenience when you consider how accurate and easy to use it is.Overall, if you're in the market for a reliable and precise food scale that's easy to use and versatile, the Etekcity 0.1g food scale is definitely worth considering. It's a great choice for home cooks, bakers, or anyone who needs to measure ingredients with precision.

Fácil de usar , ótima em tudo

Me gusto mucho el producto. Fácil de usar y buen precio. Cumple mis expectativas. Recomiendo su compra.

Antes de comprarla, estuve investigando cuál era la mejor opción y resulta que la marca Etekcity está entre las más recomendadas. Llevo dos meses usando la báscula para cuidar las porciones de mi alimentación y estoy fascinada. Además puedo preparar diferentes platillos y bebidas con la cantidad exacta de ingredientes y todo queda muy bien. Es muy precisa (mide desde 1 gramo), se usa muy fácilmente. Es muy práctico que ya incluya el tazón; éste se lava fácil y no se le pega la comida.Recomiendo no usar productos de limpieza para limpiar la báscula, ya que se mancha. Yo sólo uso una servilleta (de las absorbentes de cocina) muy ligeramente humedecida. Con eso le quito cualquier suciedad y queda como nueva.Su diseño es bonito y su tamaño perfecto, cabe en cualquier rincón de la cocina (siempre y cuando sea una superficie completamente plana).
