Good price on this scale. limited time deal comes from Amazon US free shipping for prime members, Normal prices usually range from $26 to $41 lowest i have seen is around $19.50, measures 1g to 5100g. mine arrives 12th May has good reviews.seems like a good scale.
CamelCamelCamel.
ohh thats unlucky, at this price im still giving it a go.you can buy a really expensive one and it may still break down in a week.
not going to spend more than this on a scale really.
Any reasons for hating it or, idk, just its looks?
It's just cheap and plasticky, lightweight, fake chrome, annoying buttons.
If you don't cook much or don't care, it's accurate and super cheap. I paid $23 according to amazon.
Why did you hate the kitchen scales?
got one of these, does what I need it to do
seems good, has good reviews.not a bad price at all.
Just remember kids. An ounce is 28 grams.
What would you by in ounces?
Nothing at all, officer.
Texas Elk blood
you can change between oz,g,lb
Why does it have small ziplock bags in the "customers also bought" section though? Asking for the kids.
Would this weigh something like flour, or laundy detergent?
yup it would do just fine it can measure from 1g to 5100g
It would but because it's display is only down to the gram it would not be appropriate for more expensive powders unless you're weighing up criminally large amounts.
It does have a TARE function which is essential for something like flour where you need to measure it in a separate container
Seems like these scales are on sale too, can anyone speak to their experience in weighing crushed vitamins and sugar? https://www.amazon.com.au/deal/08d4d879?ref=dlx_deals_gd_dcl…
How come I missed that.. :(( It is much cheaper than this one at $6 and easier to clean because of the design.
:(
I’d have gotten one too…
"Runs on 2 AAA batteries" This is good.
The batteries are cursed
That's bad.
Amazon replaced the batteries free of charge. This is good
But you get your own choice of topping
Reviews say it's made entirely of plastic.
It is. The plastic is painted chrome to look like a metal plate, but it aint
it says material is chrome under product specs
Chrome is a coating…
Or a good night out
I'm genuinely curious how this is any different to the ones from kmart?
Brand, shape & price
I've used the kmart ones. weight changes depending where you place the object. can be accurate but not consistent.
I've been on the hunt for decent cheap scales for years, the Kmart ones were no good, i don't remember why though…
oh no :( i just bought one today. Working pretty well for me so far
I bought this one
I think my issue was it didn't stay turned on for long enough, you'd be adding ingredients and all of a sudden it would turn off and you'd have to re-measure
I bought one in June 2020, used it fairly regularly and it has been fine - nothing fancy. The raised platform beats the perfectly flat scales because the display doesn't get covered up by whatever you're weighing
My mate wants to know if these weigh baking soda?
any white substances can be weighed
Totally clears it up. Cheers.
😵💫
Just legalise it
Maybe you should just grow up and do coke like an adult.
The bubbles hurt my nose….
I’ve had a scale of exactly the same design for 10 years now, which I bought off eBay or DX for about half the price. It’s fairly accurate and is handy being able to go up to 5Kg. It’s great for when you’re doing a cook baking. The plate is rather small, though, so if you’re weighing something larger than small ziplock bags a dish or measuring cups it may cover the display - all you need to do is put an upside down bowl on it, press Tare to zero the display, then put whatever merchandise ingredient you’re weighing on top of that.
Got the Ozeri ZK14-S for $21.36 last year to replace some branded weighing scale.
Very happy with it, and it does everything that we need it to do without fuss
I bought these after they got huge props in Wirecutter. Hate em. Replaced them like a week later.
