Baking is chemistry performed with a mixing bowl, and volume is a poor way to measure a reagent. A cup of flour can swing twenty percent either way depending on whether it was scooped, spooned or shaken level; 120 grams is 120 grams in every kitchen on earth. A scale is the cheapest accuracy money buys, and it never needs calibrating against anything.
What it is for
It reads in grams, kilograms, ounces, fluid ounces, millilitres and pounds, which covers both an American recipe written in cups and ounces and a European one written entirely in grams — useful the moment you start cooking from the internet. Tare resets the display to zero with the bowl still sitting on it, so a whole recipe can be built up in one container and there is nothing extra to wash. The LCD is large enough to read standing over it rather than crouching. At 4.6 stars it is the best-rated product in the range.
Best for: bread and pastry where ratios decide the result, coffee brewed by weight, portion control, and any recipe that gives its quantities in grams.

Common questions
Can it measure liquids?
Yes, in millilitres and fluid ounces — but understand what it is doing: it weighs, then converts on the assumption that the liquid has the density of water. That is accurate for water, milk and stock, and wrong for oil, honey and syrup, which are better weighed in grams.
What is the maximum it will weigh?
Check the figure on the current listing before ordering. Kitchen scales in this class generally top out somewhere between 5 and 11 pounds, which is more than a mixing bowl of dough will ever ask of one.
Does it turn itself off?
Yes, after a stretch of inactivity, to spare the battery — which is worth remembering mid-recipe, because waking it clears the tare and you will need to press it again with the bowl back in place.
