I bought this scale for measuring oils for soap making. My old scale stopped holding its zero and I needed a new one. I’ve checked the readings on this scale several times and it has been able to repeat them. I’ve tried pressing hard on it and letting it return to zero and it holds it. I’m satisfied that it is both accurate and precise. I like that it is able to accurately measure larger weights. I can easily put a heavy bowl on top of it, zero that, and then add several pounds of oil. I don’t think I will ever need the 22lb capability... unless maybe I need to weigh a stuffed turkey. It is a sleek scale and doesn’t take up much space in my cupboard. By comparison, my old mechanical scale takes up a lot of space, only measures up to 4lbs and isn’t as accurate. Easy to use, compact and works well. It even comes with batteries.
This scale does not weight anything under 3 grams but it says it does in the description. It will weight in increments of one gram once you are over 3 grams. I you use a dish and then hit tare on it, then it will weight items under 3 grams. So I just put a bowl on it, hit tare to make it 0 and then go from there. it is very sensitive to any movement so give it a few seconds to fully register the weight of the item.
Love this scale. It is replacing an older unit that is very similar. However, this thing has a few minor feature differences that are adding up to a much nicer user experience. First, i like the back-lit display. My doesn't have this and often if i had a large pot or bottle or something like that on the scale, the shadow caused by larger vessels would sometimes make the readout hard to see. Second, my old unit uses a big watch style battery, this one uses ubiquitous AAA batteries. Much more convenient to replace when needed. Thirdly and most importantly my old scale only went up to 11 lbs, this thing doubles that. So if i'm making a large quantity of something, i no longer have to measure out half of it in one vessel, half in another, then combine them. I can mix everything in one vessel if i want.
I am into fitness and diet from past few weeks and brought this food scale to follow my fitness goals I kind of tested it if its reliable or not and it looks like it gives accurate results. will recommend this product.
Nicewell Food Scale 22lb Model N 056 - I was replacing an old Analog 5lb Tanita Food Scale from 1986. I decided I needed more accuracy. When researching scales I only looked @ 4 & 5 Star reviews.

I received my scale on 09/10 Tue and did my testing. I’m impressed with the accuracy & quality of the unit.
Unfortunately Scale is currently unavailable – Website now indicates as of 09/11 - don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.
Is This Due to Chinese Tariffs?
This scale would make for a few perfect gift.
I've never been one to measure out my ingredients this carefully before, but with Thanksgiving baking I wanted to step it up a bit. This came nicely packaged and had blue film over the scale itself so it's still shiny when you get it. The tare option works well - just put your measuring whatever on it and then press "tare" so when you add the ingredients, that's not included in the weight. You can measure in several formats (grams, kilograms, pounds & ounces, fluid ounces, and milliliters) which will definitely come in handy around my house. My husband has plans to use this for pool chemicals and rock tumbling. Apparently his other scales don't go up to 22lbs and he really needs it to? Sure.
Overall, the scale is very accurate and doesn't take up much space.
I should have purchased a long time ago. Measuring ingredients (especially in grams) is so much easier than Imperial measures of volume. Nowadays many more recipes use grams, and my experience is being able to accurately measure 50 grams is absolutely needed to feed sourdough starter. The tare weight function works really well, too. It must be used on a solid flat surface, which does not include a tiled countertop. My old canning scale was non-metric and non-digital, and I will never go back after using this scale.
UPDATE - Following my previous review of this scale, Nicewell Customer Support contacted me and arranged to send me a new scale. The batteries are still of the brand GP, but they seem to work better so far. The company's customer service is very satisfying. I highly recommend you to give this scale a try. A soft touch of the ON/OFF button switches it ON or OFF. The scale is very light and has a sleek design. The numbers on the bright display are easily seen during the day and at night. What I like best is that few parts are made of plastic, something I try to avoid as much as possible.
I received my new scale a few days ago. It came with two new GP batteries. When I used it yesterday, the numbers kept changing. I weighed different objects and got different results with every object. I even compared the results with another scale and realized that the results were off by a lot. I thought something was seriously wrong with my new scale. I decided to remove the GP batteries and replaced them with Energizer batteries. Problem solved!!! Good reliable batteries can save your day!
