OXO Good Grips 11-Pound Stainless Steel Kitchen Scale with Pull-Out Display - Black

I recently started a quest to lose some weight and as part of that wanted to start logging all my food in an app. After some research I decided to give this one a try. I have always been happy with Oxo products and this is no exception. It is a good sized scale and I can still read the display even with a full sized plate sitting on it. I like that it is easy to zero and easy to switch between pounds, ounces, and grams. I also like that the output keeps displaying for plenty of time to make entries in my app. It looks nice, has a good range and seems durable. It's not cheap but I believe that it is worth the price.

It’s stainless steel. I wish it could be a different color. So McDonald’s. I prefer bright, cheery, happy stuff. But my options were black and stainless, so okay, fine, stainless it is. It’s a really good scale. I tested it for accuracy with weights. I got the one that holds extra weight because I want to put heavy bowls on it sometimes and fill them with flour or meat. I love that it can handle that. It is simple to use and easily toggles between metric and regular weights. It holds the weight on the screen nicely so you get time to write it down if you need to do that. It’s so easy to use that I tossed the explanation. I don’t have to re-read it. But the BEST part is the little pull-out display thingie. I LOVE THAT THING. No contortions required to check the weight. No button to lock. No nothing. I can just SEE the flippin thing. Alleluia. Oxo is generally reliable but they really knocked it out of the park here. (Would it kill them to offer one that is a less depressing color?)

This has immediately tuned into my favorite scale I’ve ever used. I wasn’t aware that there could be such large differences between kitchen scales, and have used a cheap one for a long time. I finally decided to get a new one though after seeing this one recommended in a baking book for its pull out display ability when measuring large bowls. Immediately the build and heft of the scale out of the box felt very high quality. It doesn’t feel cheap like my previous scale. I really like how large the weighing surface is, and the stainless steel looks really nice. The extending display is super amazing to have when I need it, and has really nice magnets to hold it in the proper place when not being used. The display is big and readable, and very bright as well. There are some other functionalities and thoughtful design touches that this scale has that make it much nicer than my other scale as well, as OXO is known for. The modes of weighing are really versatile and simple, you can set it to show pounds and ounces or just ounces, or kilograms and grams or just grams, which is really nice to use depending on how the recipe phrases weights without having to do any math in your head (very easy for grams I know, but still). Overall, I love this scale and if you don’t have a kitchen scale, definitely get this one over any others. If you have a kitchen scale that’s getting old or not working the best, or you just want a nice looking upgrade, this scale will give you everything you’re looking for as well.

I've had other electronic food scales and enjoyed them at the time as they were better than the mechanical scales I had used in the past. I needed to make the move to electronic for measuring coffee beans and grounds when brewing as the mechanical scales just weren't accurate enough. But I ran into problems when using larger containers to measure in, as they blocked the view of the scale. Beyond coffee, I had started measuring recipe ingredients by weight instead of volume, and also had taken to buying larger amounts or cuts of meat, dividing them and vacuum sealing and freezing for subsequent meals. My old scale wasn't doing the job anymore. The Oxo with its pull-out controls and display was just what I needed - and I ordered it when the last scale bit the dust. The pull-out display is perfect - now it's perfectly practical to use a larger container when needed, and I can still hit the zero (tare) button and read the display. It reads quickly and accurately, and the display is easily readable. I also love the construction - this feels like a pro quality unit sitting in my kitchen. The only potential downside is the size: it's larger than my last digital scale - be sure to compare the measurements to the place you plan to store the scale. It's perhaps 1 to 2 inches larger in width and length than a lot of the other generic digital food scales. As long as you're aware of the size and it's not a problem, this is a fantastic product.

The absolute best scale around. Don’t waste your time shopping for anything else. Sturdy, works quickly, and the pull out function is fantastic.

So far so good! I’ve only had the scale for a week but it seems to weigh fairly accurately and it’s very easy to use. I cannot say if it’s worth the money I paid yet but I’m hoping that it is. I’ve bought many over the years much cheaper and I thought that I’d invest in a so called better one. Time will tell. It’s fairly light and seems to be made pretty well. I can say update later on.

This scale is fantastic for what it's intended to do: weigh things. Super visible display, batteries are replaceable and cheap, and you get tenths of an ounce which is plenty accurate for cooks of all skill levels. You do have to remember to turn it off, but this also means it only shuts off when you want it to, not while you're weighing out ingredients and you realize you need to go find the coconut oil that's in the back of the pantry. "But reviewer, I hardly ever bake! What am I going to use this thing for?" Even if you're not baking, if your recipe uses weight measurements, this will make your resulting dishes more consistent and much easier to control. If all your liquid measuring cups are occupied or dirty, you can measure water using the rhyme, "A pint's a pound the world around." It's not accurate everywhere, water can change density depending on factors like temperature and air pressure, but it's close enough for most tasks. If you're a barista or aspiring barista and you're trying to nail down a coffee recipe, you're going to need the mass of the beans and the water that goes in the brewing device. You'll have to use an app or a stopwatch to get the steep time. If you bought a big pile of bulk food (e.g. meat) from one of those big box stores, you can use this to portion it out in one-serving sizes, so whenever you need to cook, you pull one out from the freezer and you don't have to think about how much to use. For 30 minutes to an hour's work on the weekend, you save a bunch of money over any store-bought equivalent and you get the same convenience.

This is the second OXO scale I've bought. The first one stopped working after about eight years, which is a pretty good lifetime. I like the negative weight measurements because it's good for measuring things like how much peanut butter I've removed from the jar, which is much easier than weighing how much peanut butter is added on a piece of bread. (Not all OXO scales have the negative weight display like this one). One feature the new model has that I really like is a "low battery" indicator. On the older unit, there was no warning when the battery was depleted and the unit just stopped functioning, which was awkward when the battery died in the middle of the process of measuring out something.

Really like this scale it’s solid, easy to use, decent size, quick response and gives you time to tend to other things and not lose registered weight. Tried 3 other scales and this is a keeper!

Frun är nöjd, och då är jag nöjd!

Bilancia veramente eccellente. Sensazione di un prodotto premium, geniale l'idea di rendere divisibile lo schermo per avere sempre visibilità anche utilizzando recipienti grandi. Consigliatissimo

This scale does all the things a good scale should do. It is very easy to read - I have vision problems and I can see the numbers well. It switches to grams, kilos , ounces and pounds. The scale remains on for a good amount of time so when I have to find more of an ingredient, the scale doesn’t turn itself off so I lose the weight information. Last, I use large bowls sometimes so being able to pull out the display is extremely helpful! I highly recommend this product. OXO continues to impress.
