Vitafit 33lb/15kg Digital Food Scale in High Precision 0.1oz/1g, Our Own Kitchen Scale Professional Factory Since 2001, Home and Kitchen Essentials for Cooking and Baking, LED, 3*AAA Batteries, Black

I use this everyday to weigh out tons of different types of food. Whether the food touches the scale directly or I use a bowl it still is correct each time. It is easy to clean and has not stopped working on me yet and I wash it pretty consistently! It is easy to read, easy to store, the scale has great quality, and it is bright enough to read in the sun or the dark. It shuts itself off each time which is beautiful and the batteries are still alive and kicking since I bought it! Highly recommend it! It is solid, not cheaply made, and is big enough for a lot of different things on it at once!

Super lightweight and sturdy. It’s easy to zero out with whatever container. The display is bright and easy to read. It’s compact design does not effect the sensitivity of the reading, and it is very accurate. The batteries last a very long time would highly recommend!

Works as described and lightweight / small enough to store

I bought this as a replacement for a older scale i had in which the display is starting to go. This is actually the second replacement I bought, so i have 3 scales to test accuracy (the first replacement is going back).This scaled only reads to the tenths places in ounces where the other two scales read to the hundredths place. It's a bit odd, but i think the reason is that these scales can't just can't be accurate enough to read to the hundredths place. But since most nutritional information and recipes don't go that granular, i decided it doesn't matter. Grams is fine, and this measures grams fine. the readings in grams were consistent with the old scale i had, where the other replacement would sometimes agree and sometimes go astray. That said, this scale will on occasion give me a reading that's 1 gram higher, whether the item was about 10 grams or 1000 grams, it would sometime read 1 gram higher, and i think that's a rounding issue. but honestly, unless you're using this scale to measure illegal substances where someone might kill you for shorting them a gram, you're probably going to be ok with it.Also, this scale does not have overkill of measuring functions. The other replacement had additional settings for: ml (water); ml (milk), and tl (I don't know what tl is either). they sounded like cool options, until you find yourself scrolling through those options you'll never use.. then its annoying. Grams, ounces and pounds is all you'll mostly need.. and maybe kilograms. if you wanted to weight milk and water, you can find conversions for those into grams.Also, the glass top looks nice, wipes clean easy and touch buttons are responsive, but the 'touch' does have a weird leaning curve you wouldn't expect. feels sturdier than the stainless steel model i'm returning (that model also had very sensitive, finicky touch buttons).This scale is heavier than the other ones at 22oz. my old one was about 6oz and the stainless one was about 11oz. i assume the glass makes it heavier. why did i weigh them... only because this one feels noticeably heavier.The batteries are AAA batteries. i was going to choose a different scale from the same company that made my old scale, but it needs CR2025 batteries, so that was my ultimate deciding factor, i always have ton of AAAs around.

Recently i was given a recipe for Cyprus Dessert i really wanted to make. Unfortunately most of the ingredients were in grams. While i could make a good guess on how much that would be for the large amounts, I absolutely could not weigh 20 grams of baking powder without a kitchen scale. We’ve been needing one for quite some time now, and so it was about time to finally make the purchase.I really liked the tempered glass top with touch buttons and modern look of the LED display. All glass top ‘waterproofing’ and protecting the buttons underneath, for easy cleaning and preventing damage from accidental spills (cooking can be messy and ‘Oopses’ happen sometimes). Bottom side of the unit is not waterproof. Seeing the numbers appearing on the surface without any visible screen box, while background remain the same color as the rest of the top, is very appealing. Other scales with LCD display and a very visible screen box pretty much look like gadgets from the 90’s (no offense intended). Having an actual On/Off button was important to me. Design is very slim and lightweight adding zero bulk to my kitchen and like other reviewers mentioned it can be conveniently stored in a kitchen drawer.Scale is accurate, as much as it can be considering it can only display exact increments of 1g. Anything slightly bellow or above may result in fluctuations, which is why i always wait a few seconds after it displays a stable reading just to be sure. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that this accuracy is present everywhere (even corners and right on top of the LED numbers), probably thanks to the built in quad precision sensors. It is easy to use and read. Turning it on/off, changing measuring units and tare is straightforward and fast. Results display instantly and change gradually as you pour more flour or any other ingredient into the measuring bowl. Auto off timer is exactly 2 min. of inactivity which is plenty of time for most of my measuring needs. It can not weigh liquids (l, ml and fl. oz), but honestly I don’t even need that since i use cups for the purpose. To provide accurate reading, it is important to place the unit on a hard flat and leveled surface. I made the mistake of not doing that the very first time i used it and the results were way off. Sensitivity is extremely high. So much that blowing on top or making a movement strong enough to create an air current, will affect the reading and cause fluctuations, which also happened in my tests. 22 lb capacity is more than enough for cooking and mailing letters or boxes.I chose this product over the ones with USB recharging for two reasons:First: USB charging port is an open port, which means dust and humidity or any other unwanted particles (like flour) may and will find their way in eventually. Dirty ports will not work properly over time or stop making contact all together.Second: In the event of that port being damaged, i would be left with no alternative way of using the scale. Plus it is not always easy to find a usb outlet when not at home.Some scales offer both batteries and USB charging, but reason number one is why i stayed away from them. And i know charging via cable is considered eco friendly, because of the fewer batteries being thrown away, but so can be the use of rechargeable batteries.I have compared 3 different brands LED kitchen scales and here is mainly why i chose Vitafit over the other two:1. 5 year Warranty vs. 1 and 3 years respectively.2. Minimum displayed weight of 2g. The other two scales couldn’t go bellow 5g.3. Device can be kept on by pressing the surface from time to time to register activity and reset the 2 min. auto off timer. One of the other two scales would turn off after 1 min. no matter what, which was a no go with me right away.4. Precision from side to side and one corner to another. One of the other two brands could not do that.5. Despite the fact i loved the look of black tempered glass more, white surface has less mirror-like reflective look and do not show fingerprints and white streaks as much. More specifically, seeing my own reflection or the reflection of anything else in the room was very distracting.6. Competitive low price combined with everything I mentioned above made my choice clear.CONS:This one is more of a suggestion. Scale doesn’t have a ‘hold’ feature which comes handy when using large vessels to measure in and they cover most of the scale (making it difficult to see the results), or measuring a large box you need to mail and can’t even reach the buttons underneath. In the second scenario using tare function, in order to read the negative numbers after package is removed, won’t work since the buttons are covered. It’s not really a big deal, but adding a ‘hold’ button or moving all the touch buttons on the side of the device could help with that.I am happy with my new kitchen scale. It is perfect for my needs. Oh, and by the way, that Cyprus Dessert is so rich and juicy 😋...

Functionally perfect, sized small enough to fit in your countertop easily, and the softer surface makes it just feel like it’s built really really well. It’s no bs, and great for exactly the one function it’s intended for.

So far it’s good. I really like the slimline make and weight of this food scale. Easy to use, has a decent display. I didn’t need a big scale as my storage area is limited and this is perfect.
