Accurate digital scales that are easy to program and use are a must-have in the kitchen.

Our experts use calibrated equipment to test electronic kitchen scales to tell you which ones are precise. 

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.

Our expert testers give each set of kitchen scales a thorough workout to find the models that are:

• most accurate at measuring various weights, from a few grams up to a few kilograms
• accurate and easy to reset to zero (tare function)
• easy to operate with clear displays
• easy to clean and store.

We also give you good and bad points for each set of scales. Our Recommended list will help you quickly see which models come out on top so you can buy the best for your kitchen.
