Etekcity Food Nutrition Scale, Smart Food Scale for calorie count, IPX6 Waterproof, Rechargeable, Bluetooth, Ounces and Grams for Weight Loss, Cooking, 304 Stainless Steel, Luminary 22lb

I use this scale to refill my Nespresso Vertuo capsules. I start out with an empty capsule(Pod) and "Tare" it to set the scale to only measure the coffee weight by ignoring the Pod weight which is 2 grams. I then add 11 grams of my favorite fresh ground, for a total of 13 grams which is the weight of new Nespresso brand pods. I use the "CAPMESSO Reusable Coffee Capsule Lids for Reusable Nespresso Pods Vertuo, Food Grade Silicone Caps for Any Sizes of Refillable Vertuo Pods." instead of the foil seals as they tend to be time consuming and my OCD will not allow me to have a seal that is less than perfect. YMMV.The scale has back-lit LCD screen with large fonts for easy reading and is not too large or too small. It's surface is made of 304 food-grade stainless steel. Supports 5 units (oz/lb:oz/fl'oz/g/mL), tare function and accurately weighs up to 11 lb/5 kg with 1 g increments. Includes 2 AAA batteries.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This scale's 0.1g resolution, given its 5kg rating, is a real plus. I also like its display: it's large and nicely backlighted. Units available include grams, ml, ounces, pounds/ounces, and fluid ounces. ml and fl oz, both units of volume, have water and milk settings; I have checked neither for accuracy. I use grams almost exclusively for cooking, but being able to weigh small packages in lb/oz is a plus. (The ounces are in decimal rather than fractional form.)It comes with a clear shallow bowl that nests over the platform; handy for weighing fruits and some veggies.The only drawback--one that isn't enough to earn a star demerit--is the all-in-one button for on, off, and tare. Shutting the scale off requires pressing and holding the button for 2 seconds (it says 3 in the instructions, but it's 2), which can seem like a long wait if your have stuff you need to take off the burner. But that's a minor nit. Overall, it's been a pleasure to use.

So Much More than a Kitchen Scale - A "Nutrition" Scale.I bought this scale - not to lose weight...although it could be used for that - quite effectively, but to track my Sodium, Calories, Fats, Sugars and overall Daily "LIMITS" levels from the Food I consume.Nothing could work better. ALL the Nutrition DATA is on EVERY product LABEL...from Calories..ALL the way down to mcg. of Vitamins...Potassium..Fiber..etc. the "Killer App" of this scale is that you can SCAN the UPC..."price code" and say 90+% of the time, the EXACT product is found, and uploaded. From then on...take a week to upload your "repeat" food, and anything you add to your diet. If a product is NOT FOUND..you can "create food" and add the nutrition numbers in...it's easy. You can even load a "Taco Bell" Burrito...the nutrition facts are online...easy to find.Ok...Things to note:- You have to "ADD" products to get them in the database...BUT they are easy to DELETE...they say 'swipe right or left" Iphone or Android...but do this instead..."PUSH DOWN" on item...gives you delete.- You can Also add "MEALS"...just make a list of a meal you eat, and click on ... and "Add as a meal"...name it..and it becomes a choice...like a potato.- You can add grams, oz, ml. etc of food 2 ways..A. Just tare a bowl..weigh food, enter weight..B. "LIVE" weight....choose a food from your list...with scale ON...and weight/cal..ALL categories "fill in"...save..and it's recorded. Cool Feature Really.- You can search food by typing it in - search database (if not in your data)..or it searches your food so no scrolling.- Sort alphabetically or by "recent" most used..- bummer it doesn't keep your last search criteria.- You can add your age..height weight gender AND DIET you choose...I did DASH..and it gives you Kcal per day...Calories...- BUT..you can go to SETTINGS..and enter your Calorie limit/goal...AND Add limits to EACH category...- ie..I put in the LIMITS daily for DASH...2300 mg SODIUM...Down to 15 mcg Vitamin D..- Given all this...You can..And I do..MEET ALL your limits per day by entering Breakfast lunch dinner snacks...and as the day goes on..you can "customize" dinner..snacks etc. if you are going to go over a limit. (The one exception is SUGARS..I think this scale counts FRUIT sugars equal to added sugars in processed food IMHO)...watch for that.- Lastly...NUTRITION INFORMATION gives you a rundown of numbers vs limits...and some verbiage on what to do if you blow a limit....green is good..red is over.- Lastly lastly...lll 3 bars gives you daily, weekly, monthly histograms of calories per meal, and Carbs protein fats per day week month breakdown.It's entirely possible to enter EVERYTHING you Eat...but it takes a bit of time commitment. Even if you don't enter everything...or skip days...using it a few times correctly gives you an idea of what you are eating "Numerically".Great product...sturdy..sleek..easy to use...Get One. I bought one for each of my kids.Customer Cool 4/26/2025

I recently purchased this Food Kitchen Scale to help with portion control and baking, and overall, I'm pretty happy with it. For the price, it's a great little helper in the kitchen.One of the things I immediately appreciated is how light and compact it is. It doesn't take up much counter space at all, and it's easy to store away in a drawer when I'm not using it. The stainless steel platform is easy to wipe clean, which is a definite plus after dealing with sticky ingredients.The accuracy seems pretty decent. I've tested it against some known weights, and while it's not perfect, it's certainly accurate enough for my needs. The tare function works well, allowing me to easily weigh ingredients in bowls without having to do any math. I’ve found it particularly useful for measuring ingredients for bread making.However, there are a couple of things that prevent me from giving it a full 5 stars. First, the display, while clear, can be a little difficult to read in certain lighting conditions. Also, I am not really liking buttons, sometimes, it doesn't register my press, which can be a bit frustrating when I'm trying to quickly tare the scale or switch units. The scale is okay, it gets the job done.Ultimately, this Food Kitchen Scale is a good value for the money. It's accurate enough for most home cooking and baking needs, it's compact and easy to store, and the tare function is a time-saver. Just be aware of the slightly fussy buttons and potentially tricky display in certain lighting. Still a worthwhile purchase if you're looking for an affordable and functional kitchen scale.
