Our review
The large 9-by-6.3-inch platform is the reason to choose this one, and it matters most for baking. A mixing bowl on a small scale platform is unstable and often obscures the display; here it sits flat with room to spare, which makes weighing directly into the bowl practical.
One-gram and 0.1-ounce increments give you the precision that baking actually needs. Yeast, salt, and leaveners are where a couple of grams decide whether something rises, so resolution at low weights matters more than the 22-pound ceiling. Touch-sensitive buttons wipe clean easily, and batteries are included.
It is not waterproof, which is the real difference from the Etekcity — avoid submerging it and be careful with wet ingredients. Two practical notes from its reviews: remove the protective film before first use, which catches out a surprising number of buyers, and the glass surface can crack if dropped.
