What we note
Scales are compared on readability, stated capacity, and tare/unit controls. Stated accuracy at the extremes of capacity can differ from mid-range performance; treat packaging tolerances as the maker’s claim, not an independent audit.
Label reading tips
Note auto-off timers (frustrating during long mise en place), whether the scale counts milliliters via density assumptions, and battery vs USB power. Water-resistance claims are usually splash-oriented, not submersion-rated.
Limits
We do not certify scales for commercial trade use. If you need legal-for-trade measurement, look for local metrology markings—those are outside this directory’s scope.
