this is what I call proper kitchen scale not those garbage overpriced oxo things

These kitchen scales are amazing. When I am baking I have a few recipes that require my scales to weigh about 3-4 grams. of seasoning. Ordinary kitchen scales just won't register the small amounts needed, and have previously ruined the food because I've ended up with either too much or too little of the flavourings. They will prove to be a great help to me.

Value for money. Super accurate and sleek design. I love this Japanese gadget. The price is almost same as the one sold in Japanese amazon. I looked for kitchen scale in high street shop incl lakeland and John lewis etc but I'm pleased that I was patient enough to check if there is anything better. Very pleased with this purchase.

Forget about the other junk. This has a full 10 minute auto-shutoff which actually lets you get on with it... all the cheaper stuff out there shuts down within a minute or so which makes them next to useless: This is what happens with the lesser quality scales and their not so clever "battery saving": turn the scale on, put a bowl on it, zero it, then open the container with the stuff you want to weigh, come back to the scale and it's turned itself off - so now you have to take the bowl off, turn the scale back on , put the bowl back on and zero it again.... Designed by people who don't actually think about real world use.These aren't made in Japan like Tanita's jewel scales but the quality is there.

Great product with nice appearance and features. Easy to use.

I use these to weigh spices sometimes very small amounts and they are the best scales I've found. I use them almost daily and they never fail. I'm writing this review after heavy use for about a year and I have only had to replace the battery once and it just uses normal AA or AAA batteries thank goodness. Really pleased will prob buy another as will be handy to have 2.

I love my scales. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and i like the macro measurements when you want to be more accurate.

Our daughter is on ketogenic diet where all meals has to be in exact ratio carbo/protein/fat. All ingredients has to weighted accurately as much as possible and this scale does good job.

I have owned Salter scales for the past few years and they were ok but I doubted their accuracy as every time I removed the bowl and then put it back on the reading was different. With these Tanita scales, which I have owned for a few months now, the weight is not only accurate but it is stable. I use mine mostly for bread making where accuracy is a must and because I sometimes weigh out some of the ingredients some time before I add them to the rest of the ingredients I like the fact that they do not switch off until I switch them off. I would recommend these scales to anyone who is looking for accuracy.

I bought this after reading positive reviews. I'd been looking around for some scales that would be accurate on smaller weights, and read that it it even good for weighing herbs. I dont weigh herbs or anything that light, but it has been fantastic for weighing small volumes of oats, milk, and dried fruit.I'm very impressed with the Tare function which I'd never come across before, but it basically allows you to weigh an item, and add to it without having to mentally keep a tally. For example, I can put an empty cup on the scales and weigh that, then press the Tare button which sets the scale back to zero. I can then add oats up to the weight I want, press Tare to set back to zero, then add into the cup the milk up to the weight that I want, etc etc. It saves me time and I dont have to weigh things separately in a particular container.I'd recommend without hesitation

This is my second purchase . .great scales

I have had a set of Tanita bathroom scales for around 15 years and they have continued to perform flawlessly. Previous kitchen scales didn't last long or produced erroneous results making it difficult to measure 13.5g of coffee precisely for example. So I paid the extra for these and they have likewise performed flawlessly. It was a false economy and waste of time buying all the other brands.

Does exactly what I want. Extremely repeatable, I get the same measurements within 0.2 g no matter how the weights are placed on the plate. All scales should be like this!

Finally a relatively cheap scale that is not cheap trash! A pleasure to use, and can weigh very accurately

The end of my quest for a good kitchen scale. Bad luck perhaps but I briefly owned 3 pairs of scales en route to finding this. This ticks all the boxes: Removable top plate, good looking, AA battery power, tare and 0.1g resolution. 0.1g resolution turns out to be the hardest box to tick. This takes you towards professional ugly postage or jewelry scales. With this one you press Tare twice and that enables micro-mode which gives 0.1g resolution. It drops out of micro-mode automatically above a certain weight. I do not know why this mode could not have been the power-on default .. but that is a minor gripe.

Brilliant set of scales. Now have a second one after using one of these for over a year as we wanted to weigh out our food at the same time. Particularly like how long the scales stay on for before they auto-off, which is quite a long time and doesn't appear to impact on battery life.

A good set of scales. Well designed and robust!I did a bit of research before buying because I wanted a set of scales that could weigh very accurately, had a sensible range and which wouldn't break the bank. In the end, I went for these on a whim, despite the lack of reviews. I have not been disappointed!They also have the handy feature of being able to measure milk or water by weight so would be ideal for using with a bread machine or for baking.Before you throw the manual away, make sure the scales are set with the correct calibration for your latitude. I live in Scotland, and upon arrival, mine were set up for use in England. This could cause the measurements to be slightly inaccurate as the earth's gravity varies depending on what part of the world you are in.

This is a consumer set of scales with a very useful range - perfect for the family and how user.Well thought out with the clever option of the micro 0.1g weighing if you need it.Good price, and very happy with it.I have the professional Tanita kitchen scales too and they are made with more stainless steel.The KD321 scales are mostly plastic made - but this does not detract.
