I'm being a bit harsh (honest) here. The scale is accurate enough. I find at times I do need to wait for it to settle (warm up?) before weighing items or I will get a wrong reading. The tare can be slow. My other issues are all related to the buttons being integrated with the weigh area. This means if you splill something, you may clear the weight of turn off the scale, either by the spill or if you attempt to wipe it off. I much prefer scales that have positive push type buttons that are not part of the weigh scale area. Still, I do use it for some things and it is a good looking scale.
