Review on Etekcity Digital Multifunction Removable Temperature by Katrina Dorsey

I bought this scale based on positive reviews and it was as accurate as the scale itself. I needed something that could measure lighter weight for cooking but was still accurate. For example, I use this scale to measure the coffee beans that need to be ground for a french press coffee pot and it needs to be very accurate so I use the "grams" scale because an ounce is 28.3495 grams - very accurate measure if you are serious about good coffee. I had other scales that weren't accurate enough to be useful, so I bought this one when the last one broke. I have no idea how long it will last, although it seems well made; It's mostly metal and the bowl is metal and the parts seem solid so hopefully it will last a while. This particular scale is said to measure up to eleven pounds (4989 grams, give or take half a gram), and the gram scale is the most accurate unit of measure, measuring fractions of a gram. Easy to use, seems reliable, accurate and I even got a couple of AAA batteries that still had life - couldn't ask for more. 5 stars for functionality; I have no idea about durability or battery life, but if the scales last a year or two I feel like I got my money's worth. highlighted. No connection to Etek. Oh yes, the scales were packed very well and arrived quickly.
