Aggravating! Manufacturer's support link does not work.

I can't say anything about the scale because I can't get into the battery compartment. The Phillips screw is so small that even an eyeglass repair screwdriver is too big. Such an inconvenience. I don't know why they don't supply a special little tool or change it to a standard size.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Big and clumsy

Good scale for dieters!

I probably would have given it a 5 star rating but to be honest it had few instructions and I'm on a diet and also not a cook so hopefully my friend will help me sort it out. The size is great, the digital reading too. Has a tare and a few different units so I'm sure it will be great once I figure it out! In the future please provide specific instructions on how to use containers etc. This is confusing to us non-chefs! Thank you!

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Cheap but poor quality

The scale was accurate for less than 30 days when my tried and true baking recipes faltered. I've found that the scale tends to underweight the ingredients. I followed all the troubleshooting steps in the online PDF for ED8060 and nothing worked. Now the unit button doesn't work at all. The scale freezes in solid ounces and the digital display keeps changing but never stable. Etekcity's return policy seems useless if you can't package the scale as originally shipped, which I can't. My postal…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Has flaws

Will be returned. on digital scale

Well I just got the scale and everything is fine. Unfortunately, user information is scarce. The user manual is not included. Of course you ask, how difficult is it to use a small scale? The reason I did this was because I wanted to understand the symbols used. Okay, go to their website and take a look. Enter the model number (EK8060) and display the results for the infrared body thermometer. Search for the product name (digital kitchen scale) it will show you anything they have for sale that…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • poorly thought out

The dimensions are ok but the scale is short lived

Bought this scale 9 months ago. The measurements were pretty accurate. I have tested it regularly with known masses and the accuracy has never changed significantly. I've noticed that it sometimes shifts a few grams in one direction if I leave it on for a while, but that never makes a significant difference. The scale is relatively small and the digital display may be illegible at acute angles, so you cannot simply use a standard-sized plate as a measurement basis (see illustration). A few…

Pros
  • Useful not only for the intended purpose
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Works great, no problems staying at zero, no problems with accuracy

I track my calories very carefully on a daily basis. Everything that goes into my body that contains calories goes into an Excel spreadsheet that summarizes everything, records and displays the calories ingested based on weight and estimated daily total calorie expenditure from day to day over time. Before I got this scale, the problem annoyed me was how crude some of the numbers I entered were. It probably didn't matter much as long as the errors were at least more or less constant over time…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
