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.

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.

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.

I bought this to replace my kitchen scale that was not as precise -- it didn't show any numbers past the decimal point. As such, I'm happy with this purchase. It works as expected. It also looks nice, feels like it has a quality finish, and makes it easy to see the weight when using a large bowl since the display pulls out.

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.

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 large base plate and the 5 kg weight limit makes it ideal for kitchen use. The pull out digital screen, with big numerals, is useful when large diameter bowls are used.Overall, worthy of serious consideration.

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.
