Ozeri ZK24 Garden and Kitchen Scale, with 0.5 g (0.01 oz) Precision Weighing Technology

I bought this to replace my old kitchen scale after it went to the great recycler in the sky. I waffled a bit because I wanted a scale with a little more functionality but I didn’t need to be able to utilize Alexa with it. This was (luckily) the perfect choice. Accuracy is spot on (I was so impressed with the ease of use—seemed too good to be true—so I checked it against my husband’s calibrated shop scale). I can bake like a British Bake-Off winnner…okay, false statement. But maybe I could. I’d credit my win to the scale. I could probably create my own sourdough starter that LIVED! No. No, that’s definitely a bald lie. But I could get it started accurately. Unfortunately, it needs to be fed and this scale won’t do that part. #imminentdeathBut it’s truly a great scale. It’s perfect for crafting, rounds out far enough any mistakes are unquestionably my own math errors, and it’s sleek enough to tuck away in a drawer without fuss. The “Tare” function couldn’t be easier, and it doesn’t turn off so fast you lose your spot if you need to cross the tiny kitchen to retrieve more ingredient(s). I highly recommend this scale for crafting, science, cooking/baking, weighing your parrot (true story) and just about anything else.

I bought this scale for accurate measurements. Needing fractional grams, this scale fit the bill.What I really like about it, is that it comes in colors to fit your aesthetic or mood or what have you, but it is also functional and works well.The accuracy is there! I weighed several items, such as a dollar bill, knowing this should weigh exactly 1 gram and it was PRECISE! Whether I added a container beforehand to zero out or weighed it by itself, the weights were exact. The scale seems to balance itself too, if you have it in an uneven surface. And the scale colors offered are vibrant. Plus, the price can't be beat. I have nothing negative to say about this scale. Don't wait, just click "buy now" if you're on the fence! You won't regret it!

I have used this scale a couple of times per week for the last two and a half years. No complaints at all on usage. Very easy to switch units of measurements, the scale is sensitive and accurate, detecting the weight difference even in tiny additions of food/liquid. The batteries (3 AAA) never needed replacing. I was always careful to only wash the scale portion of the unit.When it stopped turning on after about 2 years, I opened up the battery section and found it all corroded. As I said I've I cleaned as best as I could and am still getting sporadic uses out of it a few months later, but it's no longer reliable. As one of the cheaper options, I'm not going to dock a star (it was an awesome low cost option for a couple of years!) but this isn't a "lasts forever" purchase. I will be looking to replace with a waterproof unit. I don't have many devices that get battery corrosion so maybe the kitchen area is just slightly too humid for this one? Not sure. Highly recommend if you need something cheap!

I got this scale actually to weigh out CO2 in a paintball tank for use in my SodaStream. For that it does the job. Being able to tare out the weight of the tank itself and the option to measure in oz (which is how the tank is rated) means it does the job quite well. I'll also be able to use it for other kitchen uses. I can't complain. And I'd guess the accuracy is pretty good given its clear intended purpose. Let's talk about that.When I opened the shipping box to reveal the product packaging, the first thing that jumped out of me was the nugget pictured on the scale. IS THAT WEED? Then I saw the name. It's not the model name you see on this listing. Nor the model name on the scale itself. No. The packaging calls this the "420 Home and Garden Scale." Yeah okay. Now I should point out that the "nugget" on the scale as pictured is not in fact weed. As you'll read in the Q&A it is in fact kale, and I have confirmed with my "weed expert" (read stoner friend) it is definitely the wrong texture. But it's the wrong color for kale. They've clearly photoshopped this kale such that it can look like weed, but that they have plausible deniability. But let me tell you, just in case it wasn't clear enough to the customer what the scale is for, let's talk about the extras you get. This scale quite literally comes with two little baggies. My mind is unable to come up with any legitimate reason for which these would have been included. They just are.Now personally, I find this absolutely hilarious. It made me laugh a lot. I mean it's not every day you accidentally buy a weed scale. And it's a fully functional scale. So there's really nothing to complain about. But it's pretty undeniable that this scale is, in fact, for weed.Also note: it requires 3 AAA batteries not includedUpdate: I had previously submitted an update in which I mentioned corrosion coming from inside unsure of why and calling this scale unservicable while dropping my rating from four stars to two. However, with some new discoveries, I must retract that. In fact, it is very easy to disassemble, IF you know how. No clips. No glue. Only screws. Four under the feet (I'm not a fan of this, but it's standard practice) and two INSIDE. Which requires taking the weighing plate off first. I thought this was glued on, making the entire thing unserviceable. But rather, there is a trap door hidden under the oval sticker on the back. It LOOKS like there's a screw hidden under the label directly, but when you stick a screwdriver through, you just hit plastic. This kinda gaslit me into thinking there was nothing there. But no, there totally is something. Once you know that it goes from serviceable to very easy to service. As well, the corrosion, while clearly not from the batteries, does not appear to be from anything inside either. No electrolytic caps or anything. Anyway, with this I go from condemning the design to praising it, because repairability is something we desperately need more of these days!

The "420 Garden Scale"... I find the name I'm using I got a good chuckle out of it, no weed included with scale.Now for the scale review:The scale is extremely accurate for measuring cooking ingredientsDisplay has a nice large print.Feet are level and the scale tray is level.Works with my 1.5 volt Li-ion rechargeable batteries, does not work with 1.2 volt NiMH batteries.A very good food or package scale for the price.
