Pretty accurate for now and can still be used while it’s charging.
My current kitchen scale does not have a backlight, so I find it difficult to see the weight of an item and have to make sure I brighten the overhead lights in our kitchen. I don’t like having to do that in the early morning when I am still waking up and set the lights on dim.I ordered this FOWIDALIXG 33lb. Digital Kitchen Scale with a huge weight limit for when I weigh cut vegetables in my heavier large bowls or pots that I cook them in. The waterproof stainless-steel platform measures 6 ¼” X 7 ¼”, which is slightly bigger than my old scale. I also like that it shows different units, especially lb. oz., rather than lbs. with a decimal point. There’s a handy Instruction Manual, rechargeable cable, and 2 AAA batteries. The nonslip feet are a nice 5/8”.My current scale is not rechargeable, so I plugged in the FOWIDALIXG and saw the charging battery signal begin. I had covered the stainless-steel with a silicone pad, which decreased the reflection from the kitchen lights above and protects the surface from scratches. I set my timer, and it took about 137 minutes for the full battery icon to appear. Curious, I already knew I can use the scale while it’s charging, which is a great feature, but I wondered about the included AAA batteries. I messaged my questions to the Seller through Amazon’s AI Assistant and got this response, “Hello, this electronic scale can be used without batteries once it's fully charged. The included batteries can be kept as a precaution.” Huh? What danger could happen?I have not cooked or baked any recipes the past few days but have had to re-weigh my doodle’s daily Ziplock bags full of his kibbles’ allotment. I got a new bag of dry dog food and needed to remove 20% of his current kibbles and added the same number of new clusters to equal 200g. I don’t want him to get an upset stomach, so I will slowly introduce and then increase the new food each week.Sometimes, while weighing items, I see the scale fluctuate a gram or so. I keep a food journal and record all amounts I eat. The inconsistency can be frustrating. If I do keep this digital food scale, I may have to lift the plate, bowl, or cup off the platform and set it back down again to get a more accurate reading, especially if this continues to happen more frequently.

Easy to operate, highly accurate measurements
This kitchen scale can measure as little as a gram up to 33 pounds, and I have found it very accurate. With my diet, I need to measure everything and accuracy is extremely important, so I make a lot of use of the grams measurement. I love being able to weigh everything down to the gram and not having to guesstimate!There are three buttons so operation could not be any easier. The on/off, the tare (to subtract the weight of containers etc,) and the unit button. Just lightly touch the buttons and they respond instantly. The display is quite bright, which I truly appreciate because I have low vision.It comes with lithium ion rechargeable batteries and a cord. I've had the scale charged and it's been in use three times a day for over a week, still going strong. It has a built-in alert when your batteries are getting low, which is nice to know (although of course I have not seen it yet.)The stainless steel surface is smooth, sleek, shiny, and waterproof. It looks really cool and happens to match my appliances so naturally I love that.I have had two other kitchen scales and this is the nicest (also the most sensitive and responsive to measurements.)In my opinion the scale is a solid value for a great workhorse scale. If you measure all your food or bake a lot, this will prove its worth in days. I recommend it!
