Tada 11lb Analog Mechanical Kitchen Weighing Food Scale with Bowl, Tare Function, Retro Style, Stainless Steel

This Tada 11 lb analog kitchen scale is exactly what I wanted: simple, accurate, and built like a little tank. The retro style looks great on my countertop — much nicer than cheap digital scales — and the metal bowl fits securely. No batteries needed, and the tare function works well. Zero the dial with the bowl on, then add ingredients — the needle stays stable and readable. I measured flour, sugar, and produce without second guesses. Solid spring mechanism — the needle doesn’t bounce like cheaper analog scales. Heavy stuff up to 11 lb weighs consistently, and small amounts are easy to read too. If you like straightforward tools that just work and don’t need an app or screen, this is a winner.

Love this scale as it holds items being measured. While, I don’t need it for the amount of weight it measures, it is still a gem. I use the bowl for a double boiler when I am melting chocolate. What diversity. It doesn’t take up much space and I keep it in the corner tucked out of the way.

It's practical.

Just what I needed. I needed a scale that went over 5 pounds and this one does the job. It’s great!! ’.

I use this kitchen scale almost every day. I was looking for a scale to help monitor my portions and measure out ingredients for recipes, but did not another digital scale. I did not want the worry of the battery leaking and ruining the scale. Decided to try this analog scale and have fallen in love with it. Absolutely recommend this product. No issues with the seller.

Lobe this scale for what it cand do with such precision and it looks like its made for scientists or something

Initial impression: it feels cheaper than it looks. The exterior is a thin sheet of metal, the tare dial was janky in that turning the dial would also turn the center alignment off 0 (see minor changes), and brackets the bowl set on were wider than the bowl causing it to move around and make noise. I would give this 2 stars right after unboxing. Changes: - Janky dial: I removed the side panel to see if it was possible to tighten the dial to the front bezel so that turning the dial wouldn’t shift the center mark (the V) above the logo. Turns out the chrome circular bezel needs to be pressed down harder around the dial to lock it into place better. I may consider hot gluing it to stay in place. Once you press the bezel tighter the janky dial is not an issue when rotating the dial. - Bowl brackets: Lightly bending these to fit the bowl shape worked well but the metal is flimsy so don’t apply too much force - Accuracy: From factory the scale was inaccurate by ~200g, but using the adjustment dial above the scale I was able to zero it out. I then tested the accuracy using M2 class precision calibration weights (100g, 500g, 1kg, and 2kg). Up to 2kg the accuracy was accurate. Above 2kg became inaccurate. 2.5kg registered 2,480g. 3kg registered 2,950g, 3.5kg registered 3,450g). Unfortunately, this is not accurate enough for me

This is a very nice scale! I like the easy use.

The bottom was uneven so the scale wobbled and was not always accurate.
