Can anyone share any tips on what I should look for in a digital food scale? I don't want to get a bad one.. or can I get some recommendations?

Thanks!

I bought this one off amazon.com and have been using it since May. no problems, works great, simple to use, very light as well so if you want to take it somewhere. They are all pretty much the same. This one is small too so I just leave it on my counter and it doesn't take up space at all really. Good luck~!

I have an OXO that I really like, especially when scratch baking; just add eat ingredient, zero the scale and add the next item. Bed Bath & Beyond has them for $39.00 and there's often online coupons, and they send you special coupons if you sign up for their mailers.

Mine is the Biggest Loser scale. $19.99 at Walmart. Can weigh in grams or ounces. I love it!

I have one from Wal-Mart it was $20, it is silver and has a glass top. I like it because you can change the units which makes it easier to follow food labels or to log into MFP (since different posters use different units of measurement). It comes with an extra battery, plus buy yourself one more. It doesn't run out quickly, but when it does you'll want to scream since you become dependant on it. It makes it nice to measure my left overs for lunches too.

I bought a postal scale. Can be used just the same as a food scale but unlike most food scales my postal scale came with a cord for the wall & can take 2 AA batteries. most food scales only take batteries. You can measure grams, ounces and even lbs. and you can zero out the scale just like with any other. Mine is small and black and sits on my counter. I got it on ebay for $18.
