Food scale recommendations?

Hi friends, I was suggested to weigh my food for more accuracy and better results. I am unsure which food scale to order from all the options available. Would greatly appreciate any recommendations.

I have an Escali that works well for my needs. 11lb capacity, will go into negatives, will do lbs+oz/oz/g/kg, long timeout (like 4 minutes), decently-sized plate, easy to clean, runs on AA batteries.2

OXO with pullout display. I've had mine for 3 years, haven't replaced the batteries yet, and the rare weight, negative weight, and pullout display are all features that I use on regular basis. And moderately priced, too!

I just bought one, to have at work. Almost bought the above Accuweight but went with Etekcity's 15$ scale

So many good options for $10-20, just think through where/how you are going to use it. I wanted to make sure it was easy to read so I didn't like the ones where the scale was at same level as the readout and might be covered by a plate. I got a cheaper looking one since it's sitting in the office. If it was for cooking at home, I might have got the accuWeight above.
Also, get one that uses standard batteries.0
