OXO Good Grips 5kg Stainless Steel Food Scale, 1.2, Silver

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.

Every OXO Good Grips product I've bought has been high quality, and so are these scales. They are robust, they perform the task well, and they also look good. The best thing about them is that to operate them you just need to touch the glass surface, rather than push down on a button, so, unlike many scales by other manufacturers, there's no chance of food particles falling down the sides of the button and eventually causing the unit to fail.

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.

How much for some kitchen scales?!! I persuaded myself to buy these based on positive reviews and generally good experiences with the OXO range. They are very good. Accurate, responsive, large enough top plate, they are everything my old cheaper electronic scales were not. I bake quite a lot of bread, and they're great for those purposes, and also weighing individual food stuffs and liquids. They are expensive, but this is a good set of scales. If you can afford to treat yourself, is recommend these.

I've found that the scale works well and is easy to read with only two buttons the scale is very simple to understand. The digital display is clear and being able to pull it out when measuring using large bowls is a great feature that I find myself using quite often. I personally wouldn't purchase it at the full price as it is quite expensive but I managed to get it on sale for significantly less.

scales seem good but when they arrived I put the batteries supplied in and they were warning they were flat so will need to buy a new set straight away.

The balance looks the part, it's stylish and a much improvement on my previous kitchen balance. This one registers even the minute additions and subtractions. The pull out feature of the display is useful when using a large bowl to measure your ingredients in.Working with expensive balances in my job, I was interested in the accuracy of this balance. The attached photo shows what the balance displayed against a certified applied weight. Other than not registering 1g, for a cheap balance it's very accurate even at the higher range. Even at the maximum range that I tested it out on, being 9g out on 4000g is insignificant as a %, and if this is important to you, you'll probably be paying hundreds if not a thousand plus, for an analytical balance. As a comparison my old balance was out by about 50g at the higher range. So for the price, and for cooking, you'll probably find this balance fit for purpose.

Lovely and easy to use. Very clear display. Display/button panel pulls out for when you're using very large bowls/pans, so you can still see it (genius!). Seem really reliable.
