Weighing scales


Recommended Posts

Take your pick on eBay ( shipping from China ) - lots of very cheap digital scales that work fine but may also be prone to drifting / instability but depends on what you want.
If likely to use regularly for years to come then I suggest looking at spending about £30 upwards.
You can of course spend a lot more.
I have both cheap and decent scales.
I am very pleased with my HENRY 50 ( capacity 50g resolution 0.01g ) which cost mid thirties several years ago.

I don't think there's much brand differentiation for scales at this point. I bought mine on Amazon for $15.00 and it works great. The brand is some random Chinese firm that doesn't exist anymore apparently.

The scales that measure hundredths of a gram are typically 50 or 100 gram scales, so that's what you're looking for. They will either be billed as "food scales" or "jewelers scales". I would go for the latter if there's a choice between the two.

Mine came with a calibration weight, which is handy. That will tell you how off your scale is. If you want a higher end scale, look at scientific lab scales and balances. Those might cost more than $100. Otherwise I would just choose something with excellent reviews on Amazon.
