Edit: Been using this scale for 5 years now. Such a useful item to have in the kitchen! I cook regularly and this has worked really well. I'd definitely recommend this as a good, inexpensive option. Great size, small and easy to store yet handles large bowls or pots on it. The area with the buttons has a slight wrinkle in it, like the plastic has slightly stretched with repeated use. Still works fine and otherwise the scale looks like new. Easy to use, easy to clean. I like that various weight options (oz, lb, lb & oz, g). I've never needed to weigh more than it can handle. The "metal" scale part is a bit deceptive as a friend thought she could put something hot on it, though I'm quite sure it's just a coated plastic material. Its never been an issue otherwise and obviously looks quite convincing. I've never needed it to do anything more than it is able to do, so I've been quite satisfied with this purchase and only wish I'd had a kitchen scale much sooner!
Construction seems okay. I thought the scale would be made of some kind of metal but it is plastic with a metalic paint/finish.
Features, tare function, change of units between oz/grams and also the auto off feature (about 1 minute of inactivity). I also like how slim it is, fits right into the overhead cabinets without taking much space.
I don't think it is as accurate as the description says (1 gram or 0.05 oz). The scale would jump every 2 grams or 0.1 oz with different products like flour, liquids, coffee bean, etc. It isn't a big issue for me as most of my recipes don't need to be that precise. If you were using this for chemical such as homemade hand made soaps, I would recommend an analog scale that is more accurate.
In summary, for the price I paid, I say it is a pretty good value for general home use in the kitchen and it doesn't take up much space either.

Só me incomoda um pouco o fato de ser uma balança relativamente pequena, de resto faz sua função com excelência!
Quanto a Amazon, não tenho reclamações! Sempre entregando meus produtos dentro do prazo e bem embalados!
Pesar alimentos em pratos é um pouco chato, pois o prato cobre o visor da balança e você precisa ficar se abaixando para ver o valor. Mas isso não foi um problema para mim.
Ozeri Pronto Digital Multifunction Kitchen and Food Scale, Original
By: Ozeri Store
====================================================
When my last kitchen scale gave up the ghost I tried going without for a while but measuring cups just don't give the accuracy and consistency needed for dry measures. I found that to be especially true for measuring flour. My understanding is that's why cooks used to sift flour before measuring. Scales are much easier and are much more accurate. Also, I don't know anyone who has a flour sifter in their kitchen unless they inherited one from their grandmother. Ok, getting back on track...
So I started searching Amazon. With nearly 90,000 mostly positive reviews at the time of this review, I settled on this one. And it didn't disappoint. I love this scale. It does everything I need, but I'm just an average and occasional home cook.
For my needs it's very accurate, providing consistent results for my sourdough habit. However, like many scales it may not be accurate when weighing items of just a few grams. For those small measures, don't place your items directly on the scale as currently shown on the product page. Instead, place a plate or bowl on the scale, tare it, and then add the few grams of product to your plate/bowl until you get the desired amount. I read that recommendation years ago and it seems to work for me.
NOTE: This tip likely harks back to the days of older analog scales that utilized springs, although I've read that some digital scales still have springs.
It's very small so can fit almost anywhere in your cabinets, and is easy to clean. It measures in pounds, grams, ml etc. - whatever you might need.
BATTERY SAVING TIME-OUT FEATURE
The one negative is that out of the box it shuts down after 2 minutes of inactivity to save batteries. That caught me by surprise a couple of times mid-measure as I was reading recipes and I said some bad words. Grudgingly, I resorted to reading the flippin' manual to see if the time-out feature could be controlled. Turns out you can switch between a 2 minute timeout and a 5 minute timeout by pressing and holding the two control buttons (Unit & Tare) at the same time. Problem solved.
I highly recommend this little scale!
