The Quick Take
What it is
A compact, no-frills digital kitchen scale that handles everything from baking precision to meal prep in five different units. If you need reliable weight measurement without the smart-home bells and whistles, this is your workhorse.
Why We Like It
Why it keeps winding up in carts
Nearly 149,000 reviews at 4.6 stars speaks to quiet, consistent performance—the kind of tool people buy and forget about because it just works.
The scale that doesn't need an app.
Crowd Takeaways
Strongly positive — about 100% of the sentiment we read.
Based on 148,926 Amazon ratings. Bars are ranked by how often each reaction came up; positives first, the reservation last.
Our Take
Solid, affordable, does exactly what it promises.
At $14, you're paying less than a coffee a week for a scale that'll outlast your diet trends.
Kitchen scales sit in a weird price band—cheap ones drift, expensive ones feel wasteful. Etekcity lands in the sweet spot: honest engineering at a price that makes you actually use it.
On price
At $13.99 with no monthly fees or app requirement, the total cost of ownership is just the initial purchase and two AAA batteries.
The Criteria
What to weigh
01
Capacity & Precision
11 lb / 5 kg capacity with 1 g increments
The 1 gram step is tight enough for baking (where precision matters) but the 11 lb ceiling keeps you honest—you can weigh anything from a pinch of salt to a Sunday roast. No false promises about accuracy you won't notice.
02
Build & Upkeep
304 food-grade stainless steel surfaces
Stainless steel doesn't absorb odours or stains, and a quick wipe is all it needs. It's the material choice of actual kitchens, not a gimmick. The small footprint means it lives on your counter or hides in a cabinet without complaint.
03
Interface
5 units (g, oz, lb:oz, fl'oz, mL), tare function, backlit LCD with large fonts
Tare resets the scale to zero so you can weigh ingredients right into a bowl. Five units cover baking, liquids, and international recipes. The backlit screen is large enough to read without leaning in—practical design, not overthought.
Who it’s for
Home bakers, meal preppers, anyone doing keto or weight loss tracking, people measuring flour or liquid for recipes, or anyone tired of scales that need charging or WiFi just to tell you if an egg is 50g.
