This is a perfectly constructed kitchen scale that is a powerhouse in the kitchen. I started measuring for baking when I bought the King Arthur Whole Grains Cookbook (amazing, by the way), and they recommended it, and also list weights next to all of their recipes. It is a heck of a lot more accurate than measuring, and it also creates a lot less dishes as you don't have to use measuring cups (I still use measuring spoons). This one works well. It is super easy to wipe off; despite my daily use, it remains clean and new looking. It is very easy to read with large numbers. It seems to be accurate and it measures down to 1/8 of an ounce which is often necessary. It has a nice night light that I use on occasion. The screen pulls out to be read at any angle or underneath any size bowl if necessary. It has occasionally turned itself off automatically and NOT gone back to what it previously measured, which was annoying, but that hasn't happened recently.
If you aren't measuring things now, and don't have a cookbook that lists measurements, it might be a bit of work to look all of that up online and make a chart of how much flour, butter, sugar, etc should weigh, but I plan on doing that eventually with all of my cookbooks so that I can just measure everything.
Customer service is also amazing; Oxo has always had amazing customer service, but this was the first item I had problems with that was rather expensive. After several years, the power button was really difficult to operate, and they just sent me a new scale. Highly recommended!

Best Scale I've Ever Had
I bought this scale years ago, but I still use it EVERY day. Still the best scale of all that I've encountered. I previously owned a Salter-made one was totally inaccurate and have used a bunch of other scales in friends' kitchens, all of which were either thoughtlessly considered or were inaccurate as well. This OXO scale is accurate up to about 2 grams—sometimes it oscillates between grams, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal unless you're like, measuring out precious stones or something. I usually calibrate and check the scale using my husband's ring, which is 8 grams according to the jewelry store we bought it from, to check that the scale is still accurate. To this date, the scale still reads the ring as being 8 grams.Love the pull-out option of this scale should you place a larger mixing bowl atop it. The lighting option is also wonderful, but I've probably used it once or twice in all these years I've had this scale. If you leave something on it for a long time, the scale will turn off, but if you turn it back on, it'll still display the weight that was last recorded. DO NOTE that, if you add additional weight while it's off, it won't document that weight. I've run into the problem of putting extra weight onto the scale RIGHT as it turned off, knocking off the original measurement. I found the best way to keep the scale on while you're waiting to add more weight to it is to press between the unit of measurement.I'm attaching pics of my scale of many years of daily use. Still looks great, despite the superficial scratches on the stainless-steel surface. I'm not bothered by it.
