Both Cuisinart scales we tested, the Balance Pro and the ProVantage were among the most expensive and least accurate.

What’s more, the lack of backlight made the measurements difficult to read depending on the kitchen lighting.

The scale by GreaterGoods was accurate in most of our tests, but we found that weights varied if the vessel wasn’t exactly in the middle of the machine.

It was also inaccurate for larger measurements.

Etekcity’s scale was unable to measure smaller ingredients and failed at our first test of measuring a 2g penny.

The Escali Alimento was the most expensive scale we tested and not as accurate as some of the other, more affordable options.

As for the Pronto model, we did find more accuracy but it was hard to clean, since the measuring plate wasn’t removable. Because the scale's controls are built into the weighing platform, it was hard to measure any ingredients or tare a vessel because a slight touch to the scale would impact the weight. The Touch model was one of the least accurate machines, off in almost all of its measurements.

We had issues with both Ozeri scales that we tested.

It also shuts off after two minutes, which could set you back if you’re measuring several ingredients.

My Weigh’s kitchen scale was slower than the other scales we tested, taking longer to turn on.

Plus, the display wasn’t backlit, so it made it hard to read in certain lighting conditions.

1byone’s scale was accurate but timed out too quickly.

Finally, the blue backlight has been removed and replaced with a digital display where the background is black and the measurements are in white, so it’s always illuminated no matter the amount of light in your kitchen. What’s more, the newer scale now remembers which unit you’ve been using, so you don’t need to reset it after each power-up. While there are some small design changes, what we love about the scale still exists: the removable scale bed for easy cleaning and the pull-out display for when you’re weighing a large vessel. In 2021, OXO released a newer model that we’ve tested and think is an improvement on the original. Its slim design makes it easy to fit it into any drawer, though it's still heavy and stable during use. Our winning scale went above and beyond as the only one to feature a pull-out display, battery-life and maximum-weight indicators, and the longest delay before the scale shuts off automatically. The Winners, at a Glance All the Bells and Whistles: OXO Stainless Steel Scale With Pull-Out DisplayĬonsistently accurate, with a functional design and practical extras, this OXO Stainless Steel Scale came out on top again and again in every round of testing.
