Looking for a decent one. Not the really expensive ones but certainly not those unreliable ones either. Are those which run on electricity more accurate and reliable than the battery ones? Pls suggest one if you have good experience with any.
 

HealthSense: KS70 for normal range and usage.

Hoffen Digital Kitchen/Coffee Weighing Scale: KSS-301 for more precise and minute-range usage.


Both are semi-metal/metal builds and are of great quality per my usage. It is much better to invest 1-1.5k upfront as such purchases are once in a half-decade/decade and these things don't break easily and remain functional for years.​

also.
similar to PSUs,
amount of warranty offered or more properly the brands which even offer warranty tells about the brand how confident they are in their product.

my amazon basics scale died within a year

The AmazonBasics scale is absolute trash IMO. It has an area at the bottom that is depressed and has a raised lip. This raised lip is higher than the feet, with the result that the scale can never lie flat on a surface and always wobbles.

How that abomination of a design managed to get approval from the Amazon sourcing people to be sold with the Amazon branding is a further testament to how Amazon seems to be doing a lot of stuff with eyes wide shut these days.

I usually just steer away from any white labelled Amazon Products, be it Solimo or Basics.
'China ka Maal' equivalent of Online Marketplaces lol.
If you want to buy some mass produced stuff on a budget, HomeCenter is much better in comparison if you have a branch in your city.
 
I have very basic kitchen scale and I have compared with various scales in shops.

And it was quite accurate.
If don't want to spend much just buy generic one with good reviews.

Don't worry about accuracy much.
It is very close usually.

And mine is working since years. So they last good time if you keep it well

I have the HealthSense one and can confirm it's good so far (1.5 years).
