When I first thought about getting a digital kitchen scale, I researched them online, looking at features and price, and eventually decided to purchase from Amazon. I buy a lot through Amazon, and always get fast delivery and a fair price, but I check around, too. In any event, I narrowed the field down to three or four, and did some further research, eventually deciding to take a chance on this one form Ozeri, as it seemed to have the features I wanted. I also ordered 50 gm. and 100 gm. weights from Amazon, as a check on initial accuracy of the scale, and to calibrate it, going forward. When the scale arrived, I unpacked it, and was pleased with what I saw. For all the world, it looks a little like an iPad, with an attractive, black glass surface, and metal back. It ends there, though, as the scale four "feet", which are its weight sensors. Place the scale on a flat surface, touch it to turn it on, and it is exactly as it was advertised to be. It was perfectly calibrated, at both 50 and 100 gm. weights, and functions exactly as prescribed. I particularly like the "Tare" feature, which allows one to weigh a loaded vessel, and then the empty vessel, with the scale showing the net, or "tare", weight. One may do it in reverse, also, weighing first the empty vessel, then the loaded one, with the scale calculating the net weight of the material being weighed. Equally handy is the quick-to-change system of measurements, in U.S. and metric scale, in ounces and grams, pounds and kilograms, from 0.1 oz., to 11 pounds.One caution to the user: the scale is very touch-sensative, so be careful, in putting it away, that you don't activate it. However, if you should happen to, it will turn itself off after one minute of non-use.I would buy this scale again, and would not hesitate to recommend it. Accurate, attractive, easy to use. No negatives, as far as I can tell.
