Why we picked it
- It is one of the most-validated products in the category: 4.6 stars from more than 174,000 Amazon ratings at a price under $15.
- Five units including grams, ounces and milliliters for liquids, plus a tare button, cover baking, meal prep, coffee and portioning with one slim device.
- The 304 stainless steel surface wipes clean and the slim body slides into a drawer, so it disappears between uses in small kitchens.
If you bake at all, a scale like this changes your results more than any other cheap tool. The Etekcity scale answers the accuracy question directly: ingredients weighed to the gram, in your own bowl, with the tare button removing the bowl’s weight from the math.
It suits bakers moving from cups to weight, meal preppers portioning protein, coffee drinkers dialing in pour-over ratios and anyone tracking portions for health goals. The backlit display and five units mean it rarely needs a manual or a second device.
Skip it if you need to weigh very heavy stockpots or packages, since the limit is 11 lb, or if you want an all-metal premium build. For daily kitchen work at this price, the 174,000-plus ratings tell the story.

What buyers complain about
From real critical reviews on Amazon. Every pick has trade-offs; these are this one's.
- A small number of owners report readings that wander or shift after a bowl is lifted and replaced, so very precise work deserves a second weigh-in, and the electronics dislike water: spills must be wiped, never rinsed, or the scale can fail.
- The platform is compact: a wide mixing bowl can cover the display, and bulky items sometimes need weighing in batches.
