Rank #5 in Best Kitchen Scales 2026: 10 Digital Food Scales Ranked
OXO Good Grips 5kg Stainless Steel Food Scale, Pull-Out Display
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The OXO Good Grips is the most expensive day-to-day scale in this ranking, and it is bought for one feature the listing calls out in the name: a pull-out display. The screen extends on an arm so that a large bowl or a wide pan does not hide the reading, which is the single most common annoyance with flat kitchen scales.
Beyond that it is a 5 kilogram stainless steel scale, so the specification is not the reason to pay the premium; the ergonomics are. At 55 pounds it is several times the price of the glass scales that match its capacity. At the time of collection it carried 8,566 ratings at 4.7 stars, the best average on this list alongside two others. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Really pleased with these scales. They’re accurate, easy to clean and the display is clear and easy to read. The pull-out display is especially useful when weighing large bowls.”
Verified purchase“Purchased these to replace an ageing set of cheap glass scales. Arrived promptly and was surprised by how large and weighted they are, certainly feel like a quality piece of equipment. They have a large surface area to accomodate most sized bowls, a nice bright display and have the added bonus of being able to extend the display out away from the scale when large containers are being weighed. Really good quality and very well calibrated, I'd say they are probably as good as domestic scales you can buy before getting into professional bakers scales. Well worth the purchase, slightly pricier than the average kitchen scale but justified so.”
