Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Stainless Food Scale with Pull-Out Display
Customer Review: SO worth the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't say enough how much I love this scale. I use it so much I carry it back and forth between my house and our restaurant every day. I should have bought two of them. Two days after I received it - I dropped it (GASP!!) on the floor and the top (stainless steel plate) came off. I almost cried. Put it back together, crossed my fingers, and sure enough - it came back on and still works great. In a disgusting display of not wising up, I have since dropped it one other time - and it is still working fine. I don't recommend you do this, but the fact that this thing is still working is nothing short of a miracle.
I use the pull out display a lot more than I thought I would. It's nice to not have to look for a small bowl or bend over to try to read the display when you have a large plate on the scale.
I love how easy it is to switch between grams and ounces, and how easy it is to zero it out between ingredients. I will never go back to an old school dial scale.
I HIGHLY recommend this item!
Customer Review: A Must Have For Any Baker!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a Baking & Pastry student it was imperative for me to purchase a digital scale for school. After doing some research I found this Oxo scale and ordered it as a "gift" for myself. As many over reviewers have mentioned this scale is awesome, and super easy to use! Oxo was genius with the pull-out display. For anyone weighing out large quantities of flours, sugars, and the like the pull-out display will make your life 10x easier. Having used classmates digital scales prior to the purchase of this item I can promise you not all are as easy or reliable. Unlike other scales I've used prior to my purchase of the Oxo I've ran into issues of inaccuracy, the scale actually turning off mid scaling, difficulty sanitizing the tray properly (because some tray aren't removable), and burning through batteries like wild fire. I believe Oxo Good Grip's Food Scale with Pull-Out Display has taken all these short comings of other scales, and created the prefect scale for home or professional use.Customer Review: Excellent food scale
Summary: 5 Stars
Disregard the 1 star review!!! This is an excellent food scale, providing consistent results time after time. The pull out feature is actually helpful when weighing ingriedents in a larger bowl. Something I never considered before. The zero function is quite helpful also. It is compact, so it's easy to store and use. I used to have a Cusinart scale which was larger and in 2 parts and this is so convenient and easy. I appreciate people who take the time to write a review and usually the reviews are fairly evenly weighted, so I was surprised to see one 1 star review stating that the scale gives erratic results. So I weighed and weighed ( 20+ times in a row) a can of food and each time the weight was the same, even when placing the can on different parts of the scale - center, to the sides. I weighed a letter ( 3/8 oz) about 20 times and each time - 3/8 oz! Perhaps this person got a defective scale or it got damaged in shipping somehow. This is one great scale!!Customer Review: Lives up to all the hype

I've owned this scale for a year and a half now, and cannot find a single bad thing to say about it. It is extremely easy to use. I use it daily to weigh out the beans to grind for coffee, and for measuring ingredients for baking several times a week. Amazingly, to me, I've only had to change the batteries once so far.
Clean-up is a cinch. The display pulls out so cleaning it and its surrounds is simple. The platform snaps off for hand washing and drying, then back onto the base.
I do have a wish list for this fine kitchen appliance. I'd like to see half gram precision, though that's not at all critical for kitchen use. Like others, I'd rather have a decimal display for Imperial weights instead of ' ounce (one-eighth ounce) increments. I'd also prefer a .05 ounce precision. I don't see that being a hard thing to implement, as 1 gram is a finer precision.
I'd recommend that anyone needing a kitchen scale get this model.
Customer Review: Great Scale. I even saw it on Celebrity Apprentice!
Summary: 5 Stars
The celebrities were making cupcakes and this is the scale they were using to weigh the ingredients.
The pull out display is awesome. You can put large plates on the scale and because of that feature, the display is never covered up. Uncomplicated, small foot print, good display, accurate. What more could you want?
I'm a body builder and I have to weigh out each and every meal that I eat. 6 meals a day. This scale is perfect for that and probably anything else that you might need in the kitchen.
I've seen a few complaints about the increments being in English measurements rather than in Decimals. I agree that in this day and age of computer power, there should be an option to switch between the two. But let's get real folks! How hard is it to convert .5 to 1/2 or .25 to 1/4 or .75 to 3/4???? And when are you ever going to have a recipe that calls for any other increment???
This scale is IMO, perfect!
