Parfait

I want to use this scale for weighing portions of creatine, protein powder and coffee been dosing but the "1 gram" accuracy isn't very accurate at all. weighing down the same scoop results in a fluctuating measurement often overshooting by 2 grams when adding weight on the scale. Makes this scale frustrating for dosing relatively small doses of powder or beans. Cons: - not accurate to 1 gram - needs app, but the app is finicky - tare doesn't always register - takes 5 seconds to startup Pros: - batteries included, ready to use - can measure water volume - glass plate makes surface easy to clean Deal Breakers: - there are cheaper scales when not using/needing the app

Pros: Accurate Measurements Easy Setup Clean, unobtrusive industrial design BT connectivity with good nutritional detail Cons: Not integrated with common Nutrition apps Requires online account and possible personal info exposure The Details: I recently purchased the RENPHO Digital Food Scale in order to compare it with my existing food scale, a Mackie C19. As a daily user of the RENPHO Bluetooth Body Fat Scale, I was curious if I would similarly like my experience with their nutrition scale The scale came in an easy to open package and was clean and orderly upon opening. The startup procedure was typical for this type of consumer device (pull battery isolation tab) and it was ready to go. On power on, i found it had a typical LCD screen with white backlight, and 2 buttons, one for Units and one for Power and Tare. Unit steps you through lb:oz, fl:oz, oz, mL and g (i assume the volumetric measurements are calibrated to 20C water). Holding the Power/Tare button down for longer than 1.5 seconds turns it off, shorter than that tares the scale. I did notice the Unit and Power/Tare buttons were a little loose in their mounting - something that seems like could be improved with a little more engineering. I decided to do a rough cal check, so i tared it empty and then added a 200g weight, to which it measured exactly 200g. I will likely check further weights across the range up to its far end limit to verify linearity, but for a single data point it was a good start. I next installed the scale's app called Gennec. I was a bit surprised to find that my existing RENPHO mobile app i use for body scale was not sufficient/integrated with the nutrition scale system, which seems like a bit of a miss as being a user I’d prefer one app from a vendor to support same/similar-type devices (scales). None-the-less, the app was easy to install, and BT pairing between scale and app was straight forward and trouble-free. From this point you are sent to add an account to Gennec (a little disconcerting to give your personal/health info to an unregulated Chinese company), and then setup personal info (height, weight, etc.) along with goals. This is necessary in order to make use of the Plate and Diary functions and is understandable given the nature of the scale. I'd personally still prefer this info just stay with the app and have the option to upload or not. Using the app, i found that it responded quickly and accurately to whatever was placed on the scale (readouts were consistent). I then tried changing the drop-down item "What's on the scale?" to try a food item. This brought up a new page with a search field, and i entered the ubiquitous 'apple', to which it found server options for different data entries (at this point I'm curious what database it is drawing on to provide food info). Reading the scale, it gave back nutritional breakdown based on weight, along with mineral and vitamin information which i felt was a nice plus. Back at the search page, there is also a tab for 'Recent' (self-descriptive), 'Favorite' (presumably can be added to, wasn't able to determine how), and a 'Customize' tab that you can add your own food item to. At the main measurement page, you have a lower tab option to add a 'Plate', which become a compounding measurement so you can see how far away from your target you are. Similarly, is a Diary that keeps track of daily intake. It's worth noting that it feels like the scale would show more value by integrating with existing and well-established nutrition tracking apps, such as Lose It! or My Fitness Pal. Even the RENPHO body scale integrates with my Fitbit app so i'm not having to manually enter the data every measurement, one of the biggest values. As a consumer i ultimately want one app the maintains all my fitness and nutritional data securely and under my control, and has whatever hardware devices integrating into it to make it efficient and more comprehensive This device has potential for that, but needs to provide the connectivity. With all said above, for a ~$20 scale to provide accurate, BT connected food measurements with nutrition breakdown as needed, I feel like this is a good value and give it 5 stars.

Quick delivery, item as described, good quality and design, good size for kitchen, easy set up alongside App with clear instructions provided. Received with thanks.

Excelente báscula, el plus de ver los alimentos en la aplicación sirve mucho, si tienes el tiempo, puedes hacer tu lista personalizada de alimentos con sus características y podrás llevar un mejor control. La precisión es muy buena, puede haber variaciones pero de un gramo, vale la pena pesar la cosas y dejarlas reposar para ver si no varía
