Etekcity Food Scale - owner feedback

The Best Parts

  • Very affordable — regularly found for under $10–$14, sometimes deeply discounted
  • Bright, easy-to-read LCD display and multiple unit options (grams, ounces, fl oz, ml)
  • 304 stainless steel platform is durable and easy to clean
  • Works well for everyday meal prep, baking, and calorie counting at normal weights

Potential Dealbreakers

  • One owner reported significant accuracy problems at small weights — the scale would jump past the target amount rather than registering incremental additions
  • The weighing platform is on the smaller side, which can be awkward with larger bowls or plates
  • The stainless steel surface shows fingerprints easily
  • Amazon review integrity has been questioned — one user flagged that the scale's high rating may be partly propped up by fake reviews, and Amazon itself blocked their negative review
