I just got the 22 pound version of this and i love it. Weighing a full crock pot crock is way easier than having to scoop it out into a bowl (sometimes 2) so it wont overload my scale.1 -
Be sure and get one that uses AA or AAA batteries. These batteries are cheap. My first scale used coin-type batteries and it truly consumed them, with the cost of batteries becoming a substantial downside of my weight loss journey.0

Jennings CJ4000 4000g x 0.5g Digital Scale is what I have now, I have been through several digital scales. Accuracy down to a gram is important for me for measuring high calorie items like oil, butter, etc. The ones I bought at Walmart, Target, etc. were not very accurate when I tested by weighing coins. Mine includes AC adapter so I just leave it plugged in. I had it for two years now, still happy with it.1
