stopped working after a week, usb c charging is bogus, it barely keeps the system alive. Every 2 minutes it becomes âLowâ and the accuracy of the scale is questionable (200g shown when nothing is on it???). Big scam at the price, DO NOT BUY

Wonderful lightweight scale with all the necessary features
So far this scale meets all my expectations beautifully. I’m hoping it will last a long time. It’s so lightweight and easy to handle I’m very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it.

there are two sizes: the Crystal one is a few square inches bigger
NOTE: this review is for the **Black** smaller scale w the silver surface (I have brief comments at the bottom in regards to the glass “Grey” one)bought this scale specifically to prepare for my next solo backpacking journey. I never thought I’d become a “gram counter” and the day has officially arrived where every gram counts as I push the limits on gear that trades off between price, weight & comfort!The scale is much smaller than you might think which makes it easy to stow but limits the convenience of weighing larger items. If the item I am weighing is wider than the scale, the reading won’t be accurate if you put the item directly on the scale – the ends of “softer” objects (like a tent) end up touching the table because they droop. To solve this, I found a small box, tared it, and put items in it. I also wanted to test pushing the 15kg (33 lbs) limit of the scale so I tried putting a folding table on top of a medium box – it actually works because (1) the table is stiff enough to let the box center all the weight on the scale and (2) you need to elevate the item so you can read the LCD. However, this is when I realized it’s a real pain to read the LCD at an angle. Given the weight reading is probably not 100% accurate & plan to weigh items no more than 1kg 90% of the time, I’m willing to overlook the readability of the LCD at an angle. It still would be nice to have a way to adjust its contrast.A few ppl said it would be nice if there was both a “lb oz” and “oz’ unit setting – I agree. I did notice that “fl oz” seems to do the same thing? I haven’t tested it extensively because the lack of “oz” encouraged me to take the jump and just go metric (and I live in the states!) – using grams is more accurate and easier to do arithmetic on anyways! but for those who want “total ounces” at least the option to try “fl oz” is there.I’ve been using the charge the scale came with & there is no indicator of how much charge is left but it’s no biggie – I’m impressed it’s still running after maybe 20 hours of use so far?I got the scale because it has USB-C – which means I can easily plug it in the kitchen if I don’t use external batteries (2 heavy duty AAAs are included) or internal battery goes bad a few years down the line (which can’t be replaced) So what is on my wish list for the next revision of this product is diverting the cost of the included disposable batteries & internal battery to a charging circuit capable of *not* charging non-rechargeable batteries & being capable of charging a pair of rechargeable AAAs in the unit. Now if this proves too unreliable to identify the type of battery, then go with an industry standard rechargeable like a protected, button-top 18650 (I realize there is also the safety issue of ppl using an unprotected flat-top 18650 so I’ll leave it to the company to weigh the pros and cons – I honestly think if there was a removable protected 18650 in the unit, it would just stay there for years until it needed to be replaced (and can be done easily!) – ppl wouldn’t fiddle with it until then). The point being is I wish companies would move towards industry-standard, user-replaceable rechargeable batteries so products like this can last well beyond the life of its internal battery & not go in the trash (this is a pet peeve of mine if you haven’t guessed!)the only other thing I want to add is I would have preferred higher sensitivity (less than 1g) over the high weight capacity of 15kg. I didn’t realize I had a handful of items that were less than a gram. 100mg (0.1g) sensitivity would have been a bonus.Now that I’ve measured out the items in my backpack, I’m now looking forward to seeing how practical it is to set aside my measuring spoons & cups and repeatedly use the tare function for recipes! ideally, this will reduce cleanup! I will update this review once I make one of my favorites & it comes out better than expected :)for the price I paid for this scale, I definitely would recommend it for casual use – it’s definitely small enough to throw in a small drawer!UPDATE: I got a second “crystal” scale for the kitchen because it is a few inches larger than the Black one – more surface area means a more accurate reading for larger items (no need to use a separate container like I have to for the smaller one)The larger one also looks nicer because it has a glass surface (the silver top on the smaller one smudges super easily). They both have the same exact electronics & recommend the smaller one for traveling and the glass one for at home (eg. in the kitchen). The button text on my large Grey one is definitely hard to read – there isn’t enough contrast (white on Black is much better, see photo). I also ran into a small QC issue with the Crystal one – one of the feet is maybe 0.5mm short so it wobbles/rocks every time I push the Tare button, it’s slightly annoying but doesn’t effect the accuracy of the scale – I don’t have this issue with the smaller one. Customer support is excellent – be sure to send them an email to extend your warranty!

Great Food Scale with minor flaws
The GGQ food scale is a solid choice for anyone looking for accuracy and convenience in the kitchen. It delivers precise measurements, making it perfect for cooking, baking, and portion control. The sleek design looks great on my countertop, and the digital display is clear and easy to read.I also appreciate the multiple unit options, which make it versatile for different recipes. Plus, the tare function works flawlessly, allowing me to measure ingredients in a bowl without hassle.The only reason Iâm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the battery life could be better, and sometimes the scale takes a moment to register weight changes. Other than that, itâs a great product at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend!

Good value, Lasting Battery
It gets the job done! What more can I say? I pile on the food, it tells me the weight. If itâs wrong, I sure wouldnât know. Great for meal prep, baking, and feeding sourdough starter. Weâve had it for months now and the battery hasnât died yet. Great product at a great price.

At first, I thought the scale wasn’t working properly. Sometimes it couldn’t detect me squeezing the scale, sometimes it does. Turns out, it was because I was testing it on soft surfaces or in air.The scale is not measuring the force on the surface. It is actually measuring weight with its feet, so the feet must be in contact with a hard surface.
