Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ozeri Ultra Thin Professional Digital Kitchen Food Scale, in Elegant Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Liked it at first, but I now think it's too flaky
Summary: 1 Stars
Update: I now feel that this scale is too flaky for me to use for baking. It's auto-off'd in the middle of my adding ingredients one too many times, and today I tare'd it after adding something, walked to the sink to get water, returned a few seconds later, and it read "-178g" rather than 0. I re-tare'd it, but really this behavior just isn't ok. I'm going to replace it with a model that has an ac-adapter available, perhaps a My Weigh KD-7000, or an Escali 136DK, so that it doesn't auto-off in the middle of things. (I'm not wandering off and leaving it alone when it switches off like this - I'm actively adding ingredients, if perhaps not quickly enough for its liking if I'm trying to accurately measure e.g. 20 more grams of water.)
[original review follows]
I bought this scale to use for measuring ingredients for making bread. It's working really well for that - seems accurate (based on my measuring other things in my kitchen that I knew the weight of), and has plenty of room for me to be able to have a large mixing bowl on it and still be able to see the display. Here are things that I think could be a bit better:
(1) the auto-off after inactivity time is set a little too short for me - if I've added some ingredients and wander off to get more, it sometimes turns off before I get back, which is annoying if I'm not sure how much of an ingredient I've got in there - I need to be vigilant about making sure I know before I wander off. I can always weigh it again, but if I've tared it and not remembered how much I've tared, I could be losing information.
(2) I wish it registered new weights a little bit more quickly as I'm adding them (e.g. when I'm adding flour or water a little at a time to get up to a certain weight, I sometimes go over because it's a bit behind the amount I'm adding - I need to add ingredients pretty slowly to compensate. I don't know if this rate is standard for kitchen scales of this type, or if it reflects some sort of engineering compromise needed to keep the scale so thin.
(3) My old scale only had 2 units, grams and ounces, to cycle between. This scale has the same two, but duplicates them with "volume" measurements (cubic ounces, and mls). But it doesn't measure volume, just weight, so these measurements duplicate grams and ounces, and mean you have to press more times to cycle between the two, instead of just toggling between 2. Minor annoyance.
Nonetheless, this scale is more precise than my last one, and much smaller, with the consequence that I store it more conveniently located and use it more - overall I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others. I also like the fact that it displays the battery status.
