Denise Stevens: I like the little room this takes up. And easy to operate.

Marc Lamelin: I was provided this product for review and found it to be quite handy! I watched the quick demo video on how to use the scale and there have been no issues; easy to turn on and switch between all the functions, a large easy to read display, and an easy to clean surface. It is also very thin which makes tucking it away in a drawer or vertically super convenient.

I do prefer scales with a removable top for easier washing (if I’m weighing out raw meat), but with its thin profile a quick sheet of plastic wrap over the top made cleanup even easier. If you choose this scale you won’t be disappointed!

Dennis S: This is a nice scale, not too expensive and has easy to read numbers. It seems to be as accurate as two of my other scales since they all reported the same weights of various objects. The large LCD display was easier to read than I expected even in dim light. I also like that there are no buttons but touch sensitive sensors to set the type of weight and to zero or turn on/off. I also like Greater Goods generous warranty of five years. I really like that you can use any container, tare it and add say 1/2 cup of water using the fluid ounce measurement, thus not having to mess with a measuring cup.
The only nit I have to pick is that the very top line of the LCD display to indicate grams, pounds & ounces, fluid ounces, and milliliters is small and a little hard to read. Further, if the light source is coming from in front of you that part of the display will be in the shadow caused by the top of the scale and be very difficult to read. This would happen if you have under cabinet lighting for example. It is not a deal breaker. You are mostly interested in the weight reading, which is easy to read, but this part of the scale could have been designed a little better. Overall, the...

Brendan T: The scale seems to be very accurate and works well at actual measurement. It's also very easy to clean. It has rubber feet so stays put.

The design is modern, but the usability isn't great. There's no backlight which means the screen can be a little hard to read sometimes. The button labels are reflective and similar in color to the scale surface, so at some angles they become invisible. It also includes "4" unit options, but grams and milliliters are functionally the same, and ounces vs fluid ounces are only different in that it'll group ounces into pounds once you get over 16.

There's a few more annoying issues with it though:
- The "units" button has glitched a few times, almost like an invisible finger is stuck to the button. It'll flip to the next unit, and the button stops working until the scale is powered off and on again. Kind of a pain, since the only option is to restart (and retare) the scale, or mentally convert between grams/ounces.
- The scale chewed through its first battery in under a month even though I only use it ~5 times a week.

Overall it's alright, especially for the price, but if I was buying a new scale over again I'd probably go...

K. Planck: I love all products from this company, except the food scales...until now. The weight scale is one of my favorite things in the world and I had to give the food scale a second shot. Turns out, the food scale is great too; HOWEVER, if you are a heavy TARE function user, this takes some time to get used to. When I press the TARE button, the screen flashes immediately, but doesn't reset to zero, making me think the button didn't work. Then, I began repeatedly pushing the TARE button hoping to get it to reset to zero.... Well, it turns out the TARE button is just "thinking". If you push the button, watch it flash, and then WAIT a full second or two, the screen will reset to zero. The TARE function gives other food scales a slight advantage over this one, but the look, accuracy, cleanliness and company values help return the edge.
