KitchenTour Mini Gram Scale for Coffee, Jewelry and Small Items, 500g x 0.01g Digital Pocket Scale with Tare, 6 Units, Back-Lit LCD, 2 Trays, Black

I have been using a very old digital scale that only worked in 1 gram increments. Trying to weigh out the chemicals necessary to silver a mirror my old scale was giving me incorrect numbers. The new scale is very accurate and I can now measure out the correct weights. Very nice little scale.

It is a beautiful, compact smart system. The buttons are sensitive and responsive. It’s very easy to clean and easy to use. It is reliable in its functionality, and seems to give accurate weights.

This KitchenTour scale was purchased as a replacement for a similar but slightly older scale (2018). The old scale is adequate and still works, but the KitchenTour is an improvement at the same price point. The KitchenTour has a very bright LED display and the readings seem more stable. (The old scale would jump back and forth a few tenths of a gram—probably insignificant but annoying). Besides using a scale for the usual food weighing tasks, I rely on it to weigh crochet blocks to assess tension and estimate yardage. For the latter task, it’s especially important that the readings are consistent and accurate.

I use regularly.

Works as advertised

I initially bought my first scale in September 2020 and it had been a workhorse. The heaviest object placed on it was less than 3 pounds, way under its 6.6pound (3000 gram) limit. I liked it so much that I bought a second one mid January 2022. First off, the second scale I found was not as accurate as the first. The first was within .1 grams of true up to 200 grams (using a set of calibrated weights). The second showed a bit more variance, but still good within .2 grams. The bigger issue is that I noticed that the second scale tended to fluctuate/flutter a bit with its reading. Basically even with nothing on it, occasionally there was a "jitter" of about 2 grams either way. So far, seems fairly trivial if you're weighing objects in the 600 gram range. Here's the kicker. If you turn on the scale and the internal measurement is fluctuating then the scale is unusable at that moment. So keep this in mind. That first scale was being used to weigh objects in the 50-100 gram range, so stability and consistency is important, which is why I have my calibration weights, so far so good. Well the scale finally failed, unable to turn on stable. After a few tries, the scale was fluctuating +/- 2 or so grams, inconsistently. For the past week I had been trying to record values in the .1 gram range, and now the scale has ruined that data. From being perfectly good to worthless overnight. I don't rest weights on it when it's off, I take care of my equipment. It just plain stopped working right. So I walked into my kitchen to grab the other scale. It's not as good as my first, but it might be ok, if I can check its calibration. Several attempts to turn it on resulted in "unstable" on the display. Finally after much fiddling and swapping batteries, I finally got both to turn on. And now they both inconsistently show "unstable" and fluctuate in weight by several grams, the new one has even flashed a reading off by 30+ grams. Yes, both scales, magically have become nearly worthless instruments. Assuming I can turn them on, they might be ok to use for larger weights, but it ruined my week's worth of data and being inconsistent to turn on means I'm stuck fiddling with the power button hoping the thing will work. And of course the weight now fluctuates a lot, making it useless for finer measurements. I will be returning the new one. Sadly I think the "statute of limitations" has passed for the older one, so I'll relegate it back to its old duties unless it becomes worse, in which case I'll take a hammer to it.

Good scale

Works great, easy to use and travel with, and I haven't had to change the batteries in almost 1 years since purchase. I like to use this specifically for measuring smaller amounts of seasonings for recipes, salt, and for mixing up my pre workouts. For larger food items I use a larger kitchen scale but this is a great extra to have for smaller ingredients/food items. Would recommend!

Genial producto. He comprobado la precisión poniendo monedas de diferentes valores, y mi balanza tiene una precisión de +0.02g aproximadamente de manera consistente, lo cual me parece excelente considerando el precio del producto (sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que incluye 2 bandejas y pilas). Solo hay una cosa que me molesta, y es que los pies de mi unidad no están equilibrados al 100%, así que en una superficie totalmente plana "abanea" un poquito. 5 estrellas. Buen precio y suficiente precisión para que la comida salga siempre igual. El servicio de Amazon, como siempre, genial.

This scale is great! Accurate, precise, and very quick response time. Super good for measuring small amounts of things like sugar, salt, or coffee beans. I just wish it was a bit bigger. It's not impossible to weigh things in a large mixing bowl with this scale, just a little difficult and awkward. But as a scale for my morning coffee beans it's definitely 5 stars!

Can be used to measure chemicals for small scale amateur chemistry too. None of the spills have affected the weighing surface negatively. Make sure to remove the batteries after use as they can leak and corrode, which fortunately didn't cause damage for me.

Ottima bilancia di precisione. Segna il centesimo di grammo, da prendere con le pinze, ma misura sicuramente in modo preciso il grammo Attenzione: pesata massima 500 gr Pile incluse

Not so fine, when you put items about 0,5 gr to an empty scale - it will not show anything.
