OXO Good Grips 5kg Stainless Steel Food Scale

Purchased these to replace an ageing set of cheap glass scales. Arrived promptly and was surprised by how large and weighted they are, certainly feel like a quality piece of equipment. They have a large surface area to accomodate most sized bowls, a nice bright display and have the added bonus of being able to extend the display out away from the scale when large containers are being weighed. Really good quality and very well calibrated, I'd say they are probably as good as domestic scales you can buy before getting into professional bakers scales. Well worth the purchase, slightly pricier than the average kitchen scale but justified so.

At last! The perfect scales! Worth every penny. Clear, large display, simple to use, don't have any bad habits like resetting themselves to zero all the time. Best of all - you can pull the display unit out so it's not hidden by the bowl - genius. I have had so many sets of scales and they're usually so badly designed you wonder if anyone tested them. The last but one set I had included a permanent clock display which you couldn't turn off and which drained the battery, and the last one had a 'tare' function that reset them to zero whenever your hand came within 6 inches - as well as having a display that was invisible once a bowl was on the scale. I've always found Oxo Good Grips to be reliable and this is a well designed product that looks nice, too. I just wish I could get back all the money from the £20 sets of scales I've bought in Sainsbury's, Argos and so on.

Fantastic scales that look good enough to leave out on the side, and feel really solid. Quick, responsive and accurate (in my experience) and the battery life is good. Nice that the display can be pulled out if you're weighing something that would otherwise cover the display. Super easy to clean with a damp cloth. Can't complain really.

Best set of scales ever! Worth the high price, considering how often I use them. I like to weigh my portions of food and also my dogs food, several times every day. Large, clear display which can be pulled forward to accommodate any size of bowl. Only negative is it uses x3 AAA batteries, though they seem to last a fair while, so still given 5 *****

Does its job. Highly recommended.

Bought these to measure my hydroponic chilies, and the 1 gram accuracy was one of my requirements. However, it doesn't feel like they're that accurate AT ALL. For example, weighing a euro 1 cent coin (2.30g) results in OXO showing 0, 2, or 3 grams, 0 being a common result (but never 1). Another weird thing is, adding multiple smaller objects one by one doesn't seem to affect the end result at all, as long as the individual objects are below the scale's sensitivity threshold. Meaning, if OXO can't measure the weight of a single object (shows 0), then adding more of them keeps the display at 0, no matter how much the actual weight is. If you then remove some of them it actually gets you into the negatives (?). It's not a HUGE deal for me, and I know there are precision scales for <1 gram measurements out there, but it's definitely disappointing, especially since the description specifically mentions 1 gram precision, which doesn't feel true at all.

The old adage "you get what you pay for" most certainly applies here. Our several old £10-ish kitchen scales with stainless steel bowl or not, were/are quite bluntly (and accurately) complete sh*te. The latest: constant fluctuations whilst the same untouched item was sitting on it; two identical cat bowls had a three gram difference in weight (now they're spot-on the same), would on/off and beep on its own, and clear the screen mid-measure, etc. Not good when you need accuracy! Please pay for something that never fluctuates, is bang on in a micro/millisecond (re: instantly) and beautiful to look at. Especially if you love to cook! It's a dream to use, and the slide-out display is such a clever addition when you have a large bowl to weigh in ingredients. I used to hate having to stoop down and shield my eyes and the light in a way that was conducive to seeing the display proper. There really isn't a good way, per se, but this takes all the annoyance right out of the whole deal and makes us wonder: how the eff did we ever cope without it?!? Take it from a pair whom use a kitchen scale a minimum of six times per day (cats on special diets) up to dozens (we love to cook/bake). It's a dream. Straight up. It's a beaut that simply wipes clean. Even has an on-screen gauge to show if you're getting too close to the 5kg. weight limit. Loverly. 😊

bought as a replacement for a cheaper ikea scale, performs far better and felt it was worth the money, easy to use.

Really like this scale it’s solid, easy to use, decent size, quick response and gives you time to tend to other things and not lose registered weight. Tried 3 other scales and this is a keeper!

Frun är nöjd, och då är jag nöjd!

Bilancia veramente eccellente. Sensazione di un prodotto premium, geniale l'idea di rendere divisibile lo schermo per avere sempre visibilità anche utilizzando recipienti grandi. Consigliatissimo

This scale does all the things a good scale should do. It is very easy to read - I have vision problems and I can see the numbers well. It switches to grams, kilos , ounces and pounds. The scale remains on for a good amount of time so when I have to find more of an ingredient, the scale doesn’t turn itself off so I lose the weight information. Last, I use large bowls sometimes so being able to pull out the display is extremely helpful! I highly recommend this product. OXO continues to impress.
