Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have an EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Scale that I used to compare with the AmazonBasics. Both come with the tare feature so you can put a plate on it first. Then hit the tare to reset the scale to 0 so the plate or other dish won't factor in the weight of the food. I love this feature as it requires no cleanup since I'll be using the dish. Whereas with a non-electronic scale with it's own container always had to be cleaned out. Both scales allow you to change the unit. However, the EatSmart has more options as it has a pounds and ounces unit. The AmazonBasic combines them. Because of this, the EatSmart is more readable. It's actually more readable on all units because its numbers are larger. When you're doing lbs/ozs on the Amazon basics, it's hard to read the lighter food items as the photos show. For example, jerky that weighs just under an ounce shows up as 0.96 on EatSmart and 0.9 on AmazonBasics. That extra number makes a difference to Type A/OCD me. To turn off both scales, you press and hold the Tare button. It takes longer to turn off the AmazonBasics. The one thing AmazonBasics has going for it over the EatSmart is the bigger base. When using a bigger plate, it can be hard to see under the plate on the EatSmart. If I push the plate back to see the scale better, it could tip over. The AmazonBasics is cheaper. So if you're not needing large print or weighing a lot of light stuff, you'll be happy with this one. If you'll use bigger dishes and plates, AmazonBasics wins hands down. I still prefer the EatSmart because of the numbers and units. For bigger items, the AmazonBasics does the job.
