Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Stainless Food Scale with Pull-Out Display
Customer Review: Awesome scale
Summary: 5 Stars
Scale has worked great, it's accurate (tested it with nickels).
It's easy to clean since the plate comes off for washing, plate feels secure when it's on too so its not a flimsy attachment.
The pull out display is quite useful when using large bowls, or even if you're just at a bad angle. The gauge on the right that shows total weight is an awesome feature for if you like to just put ingredients and zero the scale to continue weighing things in the same bowl.
Sturdy build and small form factor allows me to take it to my culinary classes and use it as well (I made a wooden case for it though just to protect it on the drive to and from, even with the wood case it still fits easily in my culinary case with all my knives etc.)
Overall a good scale and I'm very happy with the purchase.
Customer Review: OXO Does It Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second digital food scale. I loved the first, a Salter 3007, but as another Amazon member warned me I would, I melted it on top of the toaster. It still worked fine, but after the battery need to be replaced, I decided to get a new scale.
Here's why I love the OXO Food Scale:
1. Easy to use. The buttons are simple; no instructions needed to figure stuff out; very intuitive design.
2. Very accurate.
3. Very precise. This things measures single grams. My previous scale measured grams in increments of 5.
4. Pull-Out Display. Very helpful when working with oversized items
5. Uses AAA batteries. No looking for strange batteries
I had to slow down on my baking when the other scale died. I am now back in full swing! Just in time for Thanksgiving!
Customer Review: Easy, Convenient and Dependable--Worth the Cost!
Summary: 5 Stars
I always knew about the importance of measuring food if you are trying to stay within a given calorie range, but I didn't realize how so important it would become for me. This has become one of my most important kitchen tools. How did I get along without it for all these years? It is so easy to use, and so lightweight and easy to store. I love the pullout display so I can read the numbers even when I have a large plate on the scale. Using this scale has given me great insights as to where I have been overeating some foods and undereating others. For anyone who is following a diet plan, this tool is a must if you are serious about keeping portions in control. My husband didn't even grumble about the cost (like I thought he might) when he saw how easy and efficient it was to use. I love it!Customer Review: Inconsistent readings mar an otherwise perfect scale

A wonderfully designed scale with great features, especially the on-off button and long-lasting display while you are doing other things. So many scales shut off after just a minute or two, but this one stays with you for the long haul.
Alas, I use this scale primarily for weighing coffee beans for my espresso machine. I can place 17 grams in a small bowl, then pick up the bowl to remove some beans (16 grams is my goal), and when I place the bowl back on the scale again, it might display 18 or 19 grams!! If I pick up the bowl and replace it on the scale a few times, the weight can vary anywhere from 15 to 19 grams, not very helpful for my purposes. Really a shame, as I love everything else about it, but I need a greater level of accuracy, which this simply does not deliver.
Customer Review: love this scale

Oxo 1130800 Good Grips Food Scale with Pull-Out Displaylove this scale small and fits on counter top. the front where the on/off pulls out for using a large pot. it will automatically start at zero including your empty bowl. it is very precise. the thing that did bug me was - I was trying to get to a certain weight would slice more peaches and the scale would have turned off. the thing i really appreciated was the back light - it made it so easy to see the numbers, plus the numbers are a nice size. oh yes I bought this from Amazon and was impressed with the quick delivery. they had gotten very bad and i wasn't buying from them now i will.
