Track calories and 19 nutrients with the Etekcity Smart Food Kitchen Scale, which pairs with an app and taps into a massive food database for accurate nutrition management. Ideal for cooks and health-conscious users, its stainless steel top is easy to clean and the tare feature makes weighing ingredients simple. Note: Uses AAA batteries that must be replaced over time.
Reality Check
Etekcity’s Smart Food Kitchen Scale is a digital kitchen scale designed to help users track their food intake more precisely. It measures ingredients in grams or ounces and connects via a free app that allows detailed nutrient tracking for up to 19 nutrients. Integrated with Nutritionix, the scale offers access to a vast database of foods and enables users to customize their own entries. The stainless steel platform makes it easy to clean, and practical features like tare and multiple unit options mean it’s suitable for daily use in meal prep, dietary tracking, or portion control.
When it comes to daily performance, the scale delivers reliable accuracy thanks to its four sensors and clear digital readout. However, the standout drawback is that it relies on non-rechargeable AAA batteries, which need to be replaced periodically. For those who use the scale frequently or are used to rechargeable devices, this might be an inconvenience worth considering. The required app is feature-rich but may feel a bit required rather than optional, so users who want all features will need to get comfortable with the ecosystem. Also, the scale isn’t dishwasher safe, so surface cleaning is required.
Best For: People focused on tracking nutrition and those engaged in weight management or detailed dietary planning
Not Recommended For: Users who dislike replacing batteries frequently or want a scale that is dishwasher safe
