Overview
These stainless-steel scales weigh up to about 5000 grams with a minimum of 2g, and the large LCD switches between grams, ounces and pounds, so they cover baking, portioning and posting parcels alike. The sensor gives quick, precise readings, and the flat top wipes down easily. It is a buy-once kitchen tool rather than a rebuy, and batteries come included so you can use it straight away. A 4.6 rating from over 115,000 reviewers is solidly reassuring. See the latest price on Amazon.

How settled
Among the most-rated here, so the score is unlikely to shift
The typical cooking & dining product on our shelf scores 4.5 out of 5, measured across 37 rated products. This one comes in at 4.6. Mid-table, in other words. The stars aren't going to pick a winner here, so it comes down to pack size, cost per unit and the details further down.
That score rests on 116,782 ratings. The median for this shelf is 11,818. A score built on that many opinions is hard to shift and hard to game, which is why we weight review volume rather than ranking on stars alone.
On money, this sits in the bottom third of a shelf running from £2.85 to £50.00, with the midpoint around £8.25. Cheap with a middling rating is a fair trade if the specifics suit you, and it is the usual reason to pick something at this end of the shelf.
