I purchased this based on a reputable companies review of best kitchen scales. This one came in 2nd and half the price of their 1st choice. I figured at this great price, I was willing to trust their testing process and give it a try, as it is exactly the size I wanted of the brand it replaced, which was from a french company that no longer sells in the US. At this price point, I wasnt really expecting much and figured I could return it if it was terrible. It weighs almost nothing. (technology is better now and weight does not signify quality for electronics anymore). I was nervous trying it. I was hopeful, but expecting possible disappointment. The fist thing I put on the scale immediately stopped on a weight. No dithering, no creeping. I proceeded to put different objects on it from higher to lower weights. All were weighed quickly and very exactly. I compared the results to a much more expensive scale and to predesignated weights. Quick precision. It's all I could ask for. One touch turn on, on tap to tare and 1 taps to turn off. The second button changes from Oz to gm to ml, etc. Bonus is that the color matches my kitchen.
