I read a blog somewhere that recommended this as being the best kitchen scale for home use. I have to agree. I've had an abnormal amount of digital kitchen scales over the years. This is the most expensive one I've purchased (but at $27 it is hardly "expensive") but it is easily worth the extra money. It has three features that I have not seen in any other digital kitchen scale (at least not all together. Some have one or two but not all three): 1) Choice of A/C adapter or battery! Other scales I've had got less accurate as the batteries got old, with no "low battery" warning suggesting any problem. I don't know if this is the case with this one or not, but having an a/c option is great! But its also portable with battery power; 2) REGULAR batteries! Not those stupid coin batteries that mean a trip to the store and half the cost of the scale; 3) Backlit display! Super easy to read. I didn't really care about that feature when I bought it, but now that I have it... yeah, it's awesome.
But that's not all that's impressing me. It is incredibly fast and decisive with its weighing. By "decisive" I mean that it quickly settles on the figure and doesn't bounce around. Every other one I've owned will keep creeping up a gram every couple of seconds and you don't really know when it is finished weighing. It also has half-gram resolution. Every other one I've used has a one-gram resolution. Big deal? Not to me, but it could be to some. Finally, it comes with a hard clear plastic "shell" that goes over it, presumably to protect it when not in use and/or to keep dust off.
The only thing I don't really like about this vs some other I've had, is that it is "big". Its not really big, but its not as sleek as some of the others. But after owning those slim ones, I have to say I'll now take function over form every day. It probably just isn't possible to fit the proper equipment into those thin ones because the difference in functionality and quality is immediately obvious.
Good job Jennings.

Great scale, long lasting
We have had this scale for 8 years and it has worked wonderfully the entire time.The only issue we have seen with it, is the power and zero buttons sometimes slip a little to the side and you can see past the button.But they go back into place easily, and work no matter what position they are in.
