Our review

Waterproofing is the feature that makes this the most practical scale here, and it's easy to underrate until you've used one. A kitchen is full of liquids and sticky ingredients, and being able to wipe or splash an IPX6-rated scale without worrying removes the caution you'd otherwise apply constantly.

USB-C charging is the other quiet win. Battery-powered scales always seem to die mid-recipe, and eliminating the AAA hunt is worth more in daily use than any accuracy difference between these models. Five units including millilitres and fluid ounces make it genuinely useful for liquids, not just dry goods.

Two honest notes. The rechargeable cell will hold less charge in a few years, where a battery model can be refreshed indefinitely — that's the trade you're making. And the tempered glass surface shows fingerprints, which is cosmetic but noticeable. Its listed price also moves around depending on the seller.
