Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Stainless Food Scale with Pull-Out Display
Customer Review: Oxo 1130800 Good Grips Food Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently purchased. Have used once so far. Pull-out display very handy for measuring ingredients into a large bowl. Makes for great visibility of display. This is my first experience using a digital scale for measuring baking ingredients. I compared what I would have normally measured out using standard measuring cups and spoons with the digital readout amounts on the scale. I found that I would typically be adding more ingredient volume without the use of the scale. I tried out a new baking recipe, measuring ingredients with the scale. Finished product was great. Anxious to see how the scale will bring more consistency to baking outcomes. So far, I like it.Customer Review: Great Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
The Scale is great. I searched reviews thoroughly before I purchased this one. And here are the pros I've found:
1. The top comes off for easy cleaning (although it really doesn't get dirty.)
2. The front pulls forward in case you have a big plate or box or whatever on it. You can still read the display.
3. It is small and fits nicely on my counter.
4. It is stainless steel and is good looking as far as scales go.
5. It is accurate.
6. The read out stays on the screen for an ample time.
7. It takes regular size batteries.
I found no negatives. I am really glad I picked this one.
Customer Review: What a bargain
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price, this is an awesome scale. Here's what I love.
1) Easy to use. I read the instruction booklet after I played with it and turns out I had figured out all the features anyway.
2) Pull out display so you can use larger bowls.
3) Backlight option. Not all my counterspace is well lit, so seeing with the touch of a button is great.
4) Weight conversion button. I just got a bunch of recipes from Italy and they are all in grams, but the bulk of my recips are ounces. Easy touch of a button swithces modes.
OXO products rock and this no exception.
Customer Review: Threw out the old one
Summary: 5 Stars
I had an older scale that was a sliding type scale, and you could pretty well guess up to quarter pounds if the line was right on the quarter pound, half, 3/4 or pound mark, but it WAS just a guess how much you were weighing. Thought it would be nice to have a more accurate one, since I wanted to start weighing ingredients in recipes instead of measuring cups for more accuracy. I couldn't be happier with this scale...all the reviews that tell of the pluses are certainly true, and the size is perfect to store away, or leave on the kitchen counter. Oxo brands has come through again with a great product!Customer Review: Another OXO Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I got an OXO Soft Works Food Scale from Target that is similar to this product, but a little less fancy. It's smaller, has a 5 lb capacity and the weighing platform is plastic rather than stainless steel. Also, the display (which also has the pull-out feature) does not have a back-lit display...it takes two AAA batteries. The Target price for this "less fancy", but very functional scale is 39.99. It has the same weighing features (zero-function, English and Metric measurements, remaining capacity indicator) as the one sold here at Amazon. Either product would be a good choice depending on your needs.
