[ UPDATE: After a year of using this scale everyday, I still love it. Still on the original batteries. This just does its job. Things I appreciate most about it : It remembers the last scale setting ( grams, oz) so you do not have the select each time. 2. If you put your bowl or other container on the scale before you turn the scale on, it removes or zero out the weight of the container (tare weight) . 3. It is easy to read. 4. The battery life is excellent. It dose its thing without getting in the way.]
I felt I need to "weigh" in on this product after receiving it. It is just a scale …. however I had such a positive first impression I thought I would share.
1. Packaging: The packaging was such as to give then impression that this company really cares about making quality products. The box not only performs the function of protecting the product during shipping but is made of high quality materials with a zip pull to open. There was substantial rubber/foam cushioning between the weigh plate and the rest of the unit to protect the sensor from impacts and vibration during shipping. The display was protected with a film to prevent potential scratching during shipping. A card encouraging registering the product for a 5 YEAR WARRANTY. The packing materials look and felt nice.
2. SCALE: This scale has an LED backlight that sets is apart from its competitors making it not only much easier to read but also provides a touch of elegance. The buttons are touch sensitive an seem to work we well. Sometimes membrane click buttons used on other scales are persnickety. There are multiple units selection Pounds (1.25 pounds), pounds and ounces 1 pound 4.0 oz), ounces ( 20 oz) grams ( 567 grams) and several liquid measures). I really like that this scale remembers the last unit of measure used when you turn it off and back on again. My last scale made me reselect the units each time it turned it on. There are two buttons. One button is the power/ zero button. Touch to turn on, touching while on zero the scale (tare). Press and hold 3 seconds to turn off. The other button it the Unit/Hold button. Touch briefly to cycle through and select the different units, press an hold the button to hold (freeze) the weight on the display.
Summary:
While it is "just" a scale, the design is well thought out. It looks and feels nice. It is one of those products that just does its job and does not demand that you think about it. You only notice how good it is when you use another scale and miss this one. Purchased this on sale for almost $22. A little higher than other scales but at this juncture i feel well worth the difference. I have no opinion at the point as to accuracy and battery life. I suspect accuracy is not an issue given the attention to detail of the manufacturer.

Works Great
Nice scale. Itâs accurate when compared to another scale we already owned. Iâm a fan of this company. I own several of their products. It is easy to operate, easy to read, and the simple design is perfect for me. Itâs not over complicated like some on the market.

Was a good scale
This food scale is very reliable in our home. It does the job well and gives accurate measurements, as well as a sleek look. You can fit a lot onto the scale. I’m also impressed that this one is waterproof, which makes it easy to clean. This is worth the price, its like perfection.

The scale you need for your kitchen!
The scale is an excellent product, with the option to weigh items in several different units. It is easy to clean with a quick wipe and storage is simple as it has a small form factor. It functions as intended for our needs. The price is acceptable as Greater Goods sells quality products. I can see using this product for a long time as it is made to last.

Updated previous review
I had issues with how quickly the scale turned off. Scale stay on for two minutes. On my previous review I disliked this feature. The company co texted me and explained how to change the scale timer so the scale would stay active for 5 minutes. This meets my needs. If buying the scale and if you need precise measurements, I suggest, as you get close to the desired weight. Add small amounts and wait a few seconds for the scale to adjust. I found myself going over the desired weight by expecting instantaneous weight recording. Once I realized I need to slow down, scale is easy to use. I like the larger size as it makes it easy to use a large bowl or plate and still see the weight.

Great!!!
Great scale for baking. I make sour dough for my small business and this one is easy to use and works great. Up to 11 lbs. My old one went up to 5 lb and always gave me an error! Not this one. I love the lip out. Makes it easier to see under the bowls. Easy to wipe off and it turns off after like a minute. Easily stored and it is strong to hold big bowls of dough.

Very Pleased!
Purchased this little scale based on other reviews and it does not disappoint. It’s sleek looking and seems to be spot on accurate. First thing I did was to place a 200g weight and as you can see from my pictures, it matched the weight. The tare function is super easy as is switching the different measurement units. I also tested the tare function with the 200g weight and it registered the weight properly. I’ve only had it for 2 days so we’ll see how long it lasts! I will update my review if I notice any issues down the road.

Let me weigh in on this one.
Great gadget. Wide rage of weight. Interchangeable units. Sturdy structure. Very compact, doesn’t take up a lot of space. Pretty accurate.
