Best scale I've ever had!  It's accurate and consistent.  Perfect for soap makers. I highly recommend you buy this scale.

This is the perfect size for an entry level digital scale.

I use mine for weighing items that I am going to be reviewing online.

Some things that may not be obvious for everyone...... so I'll list them out and maybe you'll see something you didn't think of.

1. This is 100% plastic on the outside. Yes, it has a polished look, but there is NO metal on the outside.
2. You need to store this in a level position to make sure it stays "accurate".
3. Never leave anything on the measuring surface for an extended period of time.

As for quality.... no, don't expect perfect.

There is a piece of dust (fairly large) on the LCD that displays the weight... is it worth it to do an exchange?  For me, no.  For someone else, maybe.

I have tested this scale and compared it to a Cuisinart KML-10 and found them to be comparably accurate.

Given the more attractive price here I find this to be a better value if durability is not the primary function you need.

Those are three things you don't expect to go in the same sentence. I found myself guessing how much a package weighed to calculate shipping costs for things I sold on eBay (and I got pretty good at it!), but I figured it was time for a more scientific method. I researched scales and saw that this one was well rated, as well as being under $20, and it had a higher weight limit.

At first I was worried that the higher weight limit would make it less accurate, but it seems spot on for everything I place on the scale. The display is easy to read, it runs on AA batteries, and the button placement is easy to use even with a large package on the scale. The "Hold" button on the right side is great for a large package.

This is one of my new favorite things and I regret waiting so long to purchase one.

This scale is great! I haven't had any problems since I purchased it a few weeks ago. It's super easy to use and is much more accurate than my old scale. It's also easy to clean. I'd recommend this!

The pull-out display is very handy if you weigh large or flat objects.

I've owned other similar scales and this one appears to have the best accuracy and consistency. I like the fact it takes common batteries and the display is easy to read.

Highly recommended if you need a scale with these specifications.

In my opinion, this is the perfect kitchen scale.  You get the sense that an actual cook was involved in its design.

First off, and I guess most important, it's dead on accurate and can weigh items up to 11 pounds, in 1/8-ounce and 1-gram increments.  Instead of displaying weight in decimal notation, which can be confusing to the average cook, it reads out in fractions. For example, instead of displaying 4.375 ounces, it displays 4-3/8 ounces.  Like I said, it seems like an actual cook was involved in the design, rather than a room full of engineers (nothing against engineers, that's how I make a living)!  If you prefer kilograms instead of pounds and ounces, it has a button that allows you to switch back and forth.

With large numbers and a bright blue backlight, it's easy to read in all conditions.  To make it even easier to read when weighing items that extend over the base, you can detach the display and move it up to 4 inches from the scale.  This means you can weigh items up to 16 inches in diameter and still clearly see the display.

It also has a tare weight function, which allows you to place an empty container on the scale and hit the tare button to reset the display to zero.  This is very handy when adding ingredients to a bowl.  For example, suppose you're making a recipe that calls for a cup of flour and cup of milk.  You put your mixing bowl on the scale, press the tare weight button, which resets the display to zero and then add 5 ounces of flour.  Press the tare weight button again and add 8 ounces of milk.  No measuring cups to clean and no worrying about how tightly you packed the flour in the cup.  Once you get used to measuring ingredients by weight, instead of volume, you'll never go back.  It's accurate, fast and easy.

After several months of frequent almost daily use, the Oxo scale has performed flawlessly.  If something were to happen to it, I'd immediately order a new one.

I'm very happy with this scale. This is my second digital kitchen scale and this has several options that either my other one doesn't have or that are easier to use than my other scale while consistently being within a tenth of an ounce of each other. I've been cooking for my mom, at her house, while she recovers from an illness, so I originally picked this one up to leave at her house, but now I'm thinking she may get my other one and I'll keep this one.

Things I love about this one: Time display is super easy to set and easy to read. It's backlit for a few seconds after pressing the On/Off button, but remains on without being backlit the rest of the time. This is the same as my other scale, but that's really where the similarities end. This scale also displays the ambient temperature in the room and has an easy to set countdown timer with alarm. Where this one is miles ahead of my other one is in the ease of changing units of measure and taring or zeroing out the scale. This one is all simple, well marked buttons and performs each task flawlessly. My other does not.. and to change from ounces to grams on this scale you simply hold the Unit button for a couple of seconds. My other one needs turned over and a panel lifted to change it to grams. Annoying. So so so much happier with how this one moves tare to weight and from one unit of measurement to another, both fluid/volume measurements and ounces to grams.

Still not sure who is getting which scale, but needless to say I love this one and am happy to recommend it. I have read the negative reviews that mention ongoing issues over time. If I do run into any sort of issue in the future I will be sure to edit my review to reflect such issues.

I did receive this item at no charge for review purposes. I have used it several times now and put it through it's paces to the best of my ability and found no faults whatsoever. All opinions are my own and based on my own personal use of the product.

I have other refrigerant scales, but the 9010A is my favorite go to scale. This scale has actually been around for a long time, but I think it's still probably one of the better values for electronic refrigerant scales available. It's simple to use and I have found it to be extremely accurate. So much so that I also occasionally use it as a postage scale to calculate shipping costs down to the nearest tenth of an ounce. When they double check my mailing weights at the post office with their own scale, it is always dead on.
This scale has a 110 Lb capacity so can handle both 30 and 50 Lb cylinders with no problem. It has a zero set for tare and a selectable display that can be set for Lb/oz, Lbs or Kg. It comes with a decent blow molded hinged plastic case that the scale can either be left in or removed from and set directly on a hard surface. The scale operates on one 9V battery, which seems to last for months with regular use, at least as long as you remember to shut the scale off when you're done, since it doesn't have auto-shutoff. That's a good thing though, because you don't need to worry about the scale powering down after an idle period and loosing the displayed weights, since there's no memory recall that would likely be an issue. Some of my other scales have memory storage and a lot of other fancy features, but need a 9V as well as four AA batteries to operate, so it can get expensive when you have to replace them all every couple of months or so.
My scales tethered display has a modular jack on the side for an optional TIF9020 remote charging/recovery module, but since refrigerant meter/scales with this same feature built-in have been available for quite some time now, the 9020 remote module has been discontinued and out of production for several years. You could probably still find one if you look hard enough, but be prepared to pay through the nose for it. IMO, it's not worth it.
Overall, from my own experience, I would say if you're looking for a good basic and accurate digital refrigerant scale for charging and recovery, this scale should meet your needs.

I was very excited to get this scale. I'm on Weight Watchers and so it really helps to be able to measure the weight of my food in order to properly size my portions. This scale is easy to use, very lightweight, and it looks great sitting on your counter. I chose the silver because I didn't want it to stand out as much as the other colors. Most of my appliances are white or silver so my scale fits right in. The great thing about these scales is their design. I haven't had to replace the batteries yet and it's been over a month. Also, you get to select any color you want. They are also very affordable. I didn't break a sweat buying this scale and it's worth it for the price. You can't get scales this good for this cheap. Lastly, I find that it is a great travel partner. I can take it with me anywhere! Sometimes I'm afraid to just because I don't want it to break but the sleek design makes for easy travel. Don't hesitate, buy this scale now!!!

A decent scale in the kitchen is a requirement.  From measuring recipes to postage, we find it indispensable in our home.

The scale comes well packaged and arrived intact with all items indicated.  The box, with a hinged lid and magnetic closure, can be used to store the scale.  The build quality of the scale is more than sufficient for a few years of use if not abused. Note however that the bowl is plastic and not glass.  I could not determine if the bowl was BPA free. However, it is dishwasher safe. The scale operates on 2 AA batteries, which is more convenient than other scales I have owned operating on batteries we usually associate with watches.  Note that the max measurable weight is 11 pounds and measuring includes grams, ounces, troy ounces and pennyweight and includes a tare function allowing for net weight determinations by subtracting weight of bowl for example.

The design of the scale is well thought.  The bottom of the scale provides non-skid feet.  The bowl flips over and acts as a cover for the scale and makes it easy to store.  All the function buttons are easy to operate and the LCD screen is backlit and very easy to see.  The scale will automatically zero out each time you press the on/off button.  Interestingly, the off function does not turn the scale off.  Instead, the scale automatically turns off after 1 minute.

We found the scale incredibly accurate in all our tests.  Based on the very low price and the overall quality and design of the product in relation to the price ($12.99), we rate the item a solid 5 stars.

I've had this scale before, stamped with a different retailer's name. This is a good scale, though it could have a larger readout or backlighting. Still, it performs as advertised and a bit better. Before I ordered, I read reviews of other scales and saw complaints where the other scale would have a different read if the weight was picked up and set back on it. When I got this scale, I tested it with an empty bowl. I picked it up and placed it in a different position about 5-6 times and got the exact same measure every time. This scale is consistent. As for it's precision, I would need a precise weight to measure.
You'll get an operator's manual and a book of food coded (laminated) with the scale.

Even the box cover has magnets in it so it closes well.. If you have used any other scales before you will have no troubles with this one.  Nice box, nice scale.. I'm giddy over how well this thing is designed and how well it works.

This scale is very durable and accurate, and it operates very fast.  After shopping around for a good scale in a moderately low price range and dealing with multiple returns, we finally found the winner.  I would buy this again without a doubt and would suggest it to my friends and family!
