I use this for measuring hair products. I have had this over a year and it works well. Very easy to use and very efficient battery usage as well

Have owned this scale for years. Bought two on Amazon. I use one for measuring insecticide that comes as soluable granules. Usually an acre’s worth needs only a half to one ounce. This is very accurate when spraying smaller fields or using a backpack sprayer and need to measure small amounts. The second one is used for bread. It used to weigh yeast, salt, water and for single loaves, 400g of flour in a light stainless bowl. This scale is very accurate. I have had two walk off (stolen) by vendors who liked it so much it disappeared on me. This scale can NOT get wet AT ALL. If you are messy with ingredients this is not the scale for you. If you run a tidy ship and can keep it clean it will work for years.

Bought this for my turntable to adjust my tone arm weight. but found it works great for the kitchen for smaller measurements that our larger scale would not do. very small and fits in a kitchen drawer with no problem.

Bought August 2021 from Amazon, for measuring food portions. I used it for about a year before graduating to a Zwilling glass top food scale -- only about 25% more expensive. I revisited the Taylor 22Mar2026 for some extra precision measurement. I'm remembering it works well enough and appears accurate. But in this day of rechargeable Li-ion batteries and better LCD readouts, it could really could use modernization. In order of priority 0-10, 10 being most in need: 10/10 Relocate the LCD display to bottom edge of unit, and move the buttons to the sides. As is, the display is constantly obscured by items being weighed. Even worse, the LCD quickly becomes harder to read anywhere off-axis. 8/10 USB-C rechargeable Li-ion 3.7V 500mAh battery. * Makes unit lighter vs the existing 2x AAA batteries * Eliminates the clunky hard to remove battery cover, and lowers damage risk from leaking batteries 8/10 Make the entire top surface the weighing surface, like the Zwilling glass-top, with the LCD under it. As is, gaps between the brushed metal weighing platform and the surrounds catch dust and liquids, making cleaning unnecessarily difficult and risks breeding bacteria. 5/10 Rethink the rubberized coating on the outer plastic surfaces. I'm guessing this matte finish was intended to give a quality look. The cost is a constant feeling of being greasy and unsanitary, while catching lint. These could transform this little 500g capacity workhorse from its plasticky sticky clunkiness, into a jewel-like Apple Store-worthy device. Modern improvements in volume production of USB-C rechargeable batteries etc., should enable little or no cost increase.

Both of my sons have this same scale, so I got one, too. I use it two or three times every day, sometimes more, to weigh supplements, food items, baking ingredients, etc. I've also used it to weigh many pickleball paddles. Size is good, easy to read numbers, can change from ounces to grams. It is very accurate. The batteries last many months. All in all, I'm very pleased with this scale. Highly recommend, though the price has gone up quite a bit in the past few years. The high capacity, 500 grams, was important for me.

Mostly used for baking. It is perfect for repeatably weighing trace ingredients.

Worked fine for a couple months then started getting squirly. It can’t get wet or have any substances around its edges. Turns off mid weigh now.
