Food Scale - Lan Sheng 5000g/0.1g Digital Kitchen Scale Weight Grams and oz for Cooking, Baking, and Weight Loss，7 Unit/Adjustable Shutdown Time/HD LCD/Stainless Steel (Batteries Included)

Bought this several months ago and use it regularly now. Having an accurate way to get some insight about my daily food intake has been a real game changer. The scale works very well indeed. Fascinating to be able to weigh out each addition to a decoction and to have such an accurate account of the whole. And, as far as I'm concerned, the sub gram accuracy is fabulous. I have calibration weights and the accuracy and sensitivity are excellent for a food scale. It is not totally sensitive down to its smallest unit (.1 gm) but can easily discern a change of around .25 gm. Compared to less sensitive food scales, this extra sensitivity is great. I also appreciate the bright and legible readout. A shortfall of this design is the readout being hard to see with a large bowl or plate on top but the clarity of the readout does help. And being totally digital, battery use (AAA x 2) is hardly an issue; it's still running on the included batteries after multiple daily usage for nearly 6 months. Bottom line - I like the scale a lot. I plan on getting another on as soon as I get my cookshack up and smoking.

It super easy to weigh the ingredients for my hydro fertilizer now. As I slowly add an ingredient on the scale, the weight display response is almost immediate, changing with hardly any delay. Since my formulas have multiple partial gram weights, the speedy response lessens the need to remove ingredients and reweigh. This LanSheng 5000g/0.1g scale stays on, instead of turning itself off within 15 seconds of inactivity like my small pocket 0.1g and my Biggest Loser 1g scales do. The display is large and easy to read. And even in the kitchen for measuring flour, sugar, salt, etc., having the tenth gram function makes it so much easier getting the weights more precise and faster. This scale is staying in my greenhouse and I will be buying a second one for my kitchen!

Love this scale. The accuracy and weight limit combination are great, and to have a scale that goes up to such a high weight with a strong accuracy is awesome. I primarily use this scale for foods and so I've included the accuracy with a calibration set I have. The weights below 1,000g are all exact as can be seen in the photos. Once getting to 1,000g the scale then starts to slowly lose accuracy BUT it is within a gram accuracy still. Now this is just the lower range of the scale, but it is more than sufficiently accurate for all of my needs. There are two drawbacks, but I don't feel they warrant a star reduction. 1. When setting a plate or some other item on the scale, it can block the view of the numbers where you have to bend over a bit to see the numbers. This is a trade-off of the unit having such a small footprint on the counter and I'm fine with it. 2. As others have mentioned the timer before the unit auto-shutoff activates is a bit short, maybe 2 minutes. This is yet another trade-off for battery life. In this case you simply need to be cognizant of occasionally tapping the scale with a finger if you are planning to prepare food while weighing it. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the design, it weighs next to nothing, it can slide anywhere out of sight, it works great, it loads to begin weighing quickly, it had an LCD screen thats lit up, it's touch sensitive so no buttons, it responds great and has many different units of measurement including that of water and milk! I previously purchased another scale that didn't weigh as high as this one (only measured half the weight), and was more expensive. It had some nice features this one does not, but I'm extremely glad I upgraded! This review alone speaks to how much I like this scale. I don't hibk I've ever included pictures in a review and simply wanted to do the company justice for building a solid product! Finally I should add, this scale may very well be accurate at the upper range of the measurements as well, I simply didn't have the tools to check, and so will simply advocate it as awesome within the realm I measured and use it.

Great scale, I owned a couple before this one and it is my favorite. While I use this for measuring small quantities such as 3 grams of yeast for my bread, I still would prefer a jewelry scale but unlike my previous scales this one here almost makes this unnecessary. Another thing I love is that it is stable, you won’t find the reading jump up or down randomly or if you lift the bowl up then put it back — things work in a stable manner. Recommended! Update: Unfortunately, after few months of use, the buttons now fails to work 50% of the time after turning the scale on, and it's not like I can press the button (any button) one more time to work, no, I actually have to turn off the scale (by taking the battery out, coz remember: the buttons do not work) and turn it back on so that button can start responding again, which YES means losing the previous scale. So what I do now, is before I start measuring anything, I always test the taring button before I put anything so that I don't lose it. Sometimes I forget to do that, and realize midway that it's not going to zero/tare but I've already started adding my ingredients and my hands are not clean so I've to remove everything and clean my hands, take battery out then back in, and repeat everything. If I've already mixed ingredients then I'm screwed. My unit maybe faulty, I don't know. I still appreciate the scale but this thing is super annoying as you can imagine.

Just recently over quarantine I’ve gotten into baking/cooking so getting a scale seemed like the right choice. When it comes to measuring it is easier to just use spoons and cups but if it’s something important or the recipe is in grams a scale comes in handy. About this particular product, it works great with displacement however the process is tedious and time consuming. If your looking to make something or try something with perfection I recommend you get this scale it’s good price wise, it’s light, and it’s smaller than most so it’s easy to use wherever. I’d give this a 4/5.

Love this scale! This exceeded my expectations! The accuracy of weight is spot on and weighy limit is much higher than other scales I’ve used. I use this to weigh out my food portions and it has been a life saver. The ability to save the plate/cup weight and deduct it from the total weight is perfect and I’ve had no issues with setting that up! The screen is big bright and easy to read. Aesthetically this Scale is gorgeous and a great addition to any kitchen/household. The biggest plus, it came with batteries included

I use the scale for making coffee and baking. It works very well. This Lan Sheng scale is fast. It updates reading quickly. My +10 years old scale still works, but it is slow. That is one of reasons I'd like to get a new one. It seems to be accurate. Not many scales at this price can get to sub gram accuracy. I weigh one of my coffee mugs every morning and get the same reading. Another review has checked the accuracy with standard weights. The scale uses two AAA batteries. It is easy to change. I only need to change them after 6 months. I do not use rechargeable batteries because they have lower voltages. CONS: The buttons are very sensitive. Do not need to press buttons hard. It can be a good or bad thing. Sometimes I have to remove batteries to clean the area near the buttons. Although the shut off time can be adjusted, it was hard for me to press buttons 4 times in a row because the buttons are sensitive. It is not easy to tell how many times I have pressed the button.

Easy to use, small, accuracy can be off. I returned this scale because it times out after one minute. I would be trying to weigh out ingredients for my skin care products, or food for prepping and it would time out in the middle of it. It was extremely frustrating because I would have to start all over and pour / add to another container. This wasn’t added into the description so I of course I was frustrated. It would time out WHILE I was pouring in liquids and it take seconds to catch up to speed so one second it was where I needed it to be the next it would be over the weight I needed it to be. If you can weigh out anything in 60 seconds or less this is the perfect scale for you. If not don’t waste your time.
