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

Great kitchen scale!
Great scale! I enjoy how long it stays on. I have another kitchen scale that is a different brand/model and it does not stay on for very long and it can get annoying. The heavier capacity this can measure is great and I really like that the display pulls out if you have a large bowl or plate on top so you can still easily see it.

Forget other kitchen scales. Get this one and your life will improve!
It’s not the pull out screen I care the most about. It’s the responsiveness of the screen and measurements, tactile buttons, never looses the tare weight and stays on and does not turn off on you mid use.

It’s GREAT – but please read this (error in instruction manual)
I’m an accomplished cook and I occasionally bake. For over 35 yrs, I always have a reliable weigh scale in my kitchen as I believe this is a necessary appliance for getting great results and for managing ingredients and portions. This is the 4th scale I’ve owned as the previous ones all broke, for some reason or another. My most recent one was dropped on the floor by me, so the failures aren’t always due to the manufacturer.There are a couple of features that are must-haves when I buy a food scale:- must have metric and imperial measurements and can toggle easily back and forth- must be able to read the screen even when there’s a large bowl/container on top- must have reliable zero-ing capability- cannot time out quickly (this is a huge issue for me)I searched high and low for a replacement scale that would satisfy all of the above and more and decided on the somewhat pricey OXO Good Grips 11-lb scale. Here are my thought after using it for 2 weeks:a) The surface area is large and flat which is nice for sturdiness and balance. It’s actually quite a bit larger than my last scale which I like.b) The pull-out feature of the display is pretty nifty so if there is a big bowl on top of the scale, seeing the screen won’t be a problem. However, I will caution 2 observations here: First , the cord attachment for the screen isn’t that long, at least it’s a lot shorter than I subconsciously expect it to be. So the first few times I pulled it out, I accidentally yanked on it because I expected it to be longer. Be careful: if you do this like I did but over and over again, I imagine this will damage the connection. Also, slipping the screen back into place seems a bit awkward.. There’s a tiny, I mean TINY little handle on the front of the screen that you’re supposed to clasp and push the screen back in. Yeah, right. I don’t have big hands nor fingers and this tiny handle is impossible to grab. And the screen doesn’t automatically slide into place. So be prepared to have to manipulate this a bit. Not gonna lie, I think this makes it kinda annoying to put the screen back in place.c) There’s very effective rubber grips on the bottom of the scale. Not sure how they did it, but mine actually suction cup to my quartz countertop!d) When you turn it on, for some reason it “counts down from 3.” Like….why? To warn you that you’re about to weigh something? Or maybe to get ready for a spectacular blue LED screen? This feature doesn’t affect the outcome of the weighing process, but it does add time. If I’m ready and eager to start measuring flour so I can bake cookies, it seems unnecessary to have to stand there for an additional 3+ seconds for the scale to count down. And for what?e) I wasn’t sure if I needed the “pounds – oz” or “kg – gram” display. I figured that if my ingredients measured 18 oz, then I can calculate that in my head as 1lb, 2 oz. But I see now that it’s kinda nice to have the ability to just look at the screen and have the scale tell me that. I don’t know if this feature is necessary for everyone, but I wouldn’t buy or not buy a scale because of it from now on.f) I really appreciate the low battery warning. For obvious reasons, this would be a deal breaker if my weigh scale didn’t have this. Too much risk involved without it.g) Now here is where I need to super critical. There’s an error in the instruction manual which bothers me and could cause a HUGE SETBACK in your cooking or baking if you don’t read what I’m about to say. This scale comes with a STANDBY MODE, meaning after about 5 min, the screen will dim, probably for power saving. And after 15 min, the device will completely shut off. The instructions say that in order to get your screen out of standby mode, you are to “press any button” to continue. However, if you have a weight sitting on the scale when the screen goes into STANDBY mode, you CANNOT press just any button or you will lose your weight! There are only 2 buttons on this scale: The Power/Zero button and the lb/kg button. If you press the Power/Zero button while there is a weight on the scale and it is in standby mode, then you will SHUT OFF THE DEVICE. I did this and I lost my weights! If you have a weight on the scale and the device goes into STANDBY MODE, the only other button you can press without erasing your weights is the lb/kg button. If there is NO WEIGHT on your scale when it goes into standby mode, then sure, press the power button or the lb/kg button since there are no weights to erase. My advice? If you can help it, just get into the habit of pressing the lb/kg button only when your scale goes into standby mode, regardless if there’s a weight on top or not. This way, you will guarantee that you never erase your weights and potentially put yourself into a huge predicament. This is my biggest complaint about this weigh scale and that is that the instruction manual is actually incorrect.All-in-all, I would give this scale 5 stars because it’s the largest and has the most features I’ve ever had in a weigh scale. I do like the feature where I can pull out the screen; it’s pretty nifty. But like I said, I have to be careful pulling it out and replacing it so it’s not perfect. This weirdism may or may not bother you. It’s a bit pricey compared to other scales but I guess if it’s lasts a long time, it will be worth it. If you can find this exact scale for $30 or less, I say grab it. I paid $53 for mine, which is more than twice what I paid for my last scale which lasted bout 7 yrs before I broke it. This is why I only gave it 4 stars since it’s a much higher price point than most.

Love This Scale
This is by far my favorite kitchen scale. I have a home bakery and this scale gets a TON of use. Like, a TON. It is highly durable and accurate. Easy to clean. The first one I had lasted almost three years.

C’est le nouveau membre de la famille de mes ustensiles de cuisine. Je la kiffe

La báscula OXO good-grips es excepcional, revisé demasiados análisis realizados por colectivos de cocinas industriales estadounidenses con la finalidad de encontrar una báscula que fuera precisa, y duradera para uso continuo en la cocina, teniendo en cuenta que pueden haber derrames, y exposición a calor y frío, y esta báscula fue reportada como capaz de sobrevivir a ese tipo de exposición.La primera duró alrededor de 7-8 años, y sobrevivió una inundación accidental. Entonces considero que si cumple con esos reportes.El único “downside” que le encuentro es que el modelo previo permitía retirar el plato de metal para lavarlo, y colocarlo de nuevo, este modelo nuevo no lo permite y eso a mi se me hace menos conveniente. Pero confío mucho que la marca mantiene los mismos estándares de calidad y precisión previos.
