The Review

Let’s start out with a video but it’s not just an unboxing, it’s a review as well and you might want to watch it as I do test it and compare it.

The box is very nice looking with pictures and plenty of information on it. Once you open the box you’ll find the scale and user guide, the batteries are already installed inside of the scale but they’re wrapped in plastic which of course you’ll need to remove before using.

The scale looks very nice, I like the glass as it’s much easier to clean and keep sanitized to prevent cross contamination. The scale isn’t exactly small, but it’s fine for the kitchen. The measurements are about 7.75 inches by 6 inches and it’s about 1 inch thick at the thickest part.

The display is very bright with a blue background and black letters and numbers. The scale has buttons one each side of the display labeled Unit and Tare and the Tare button is also the power button. The scale comes on without pressing the power button actually, just put something on it and it comes on and I’m not sure I like that as that can waste the battery. The scale can display grams, kilograms and pounds and ounces and it can instantly convert them as well. The Unit button needs to be held down for  about a second before it will change the units.

On the bottom you’ll see four rubber feet to keep the scale in place on your counter when you’re using it. The battery compartment is located about the center and it needs two AAA batteries which it does come with.

I’ve had this scale for 11 days now and I’ve been testing it off and on and comparing it to other scales I have and trying to figure it out. The scale gives inconsistent results all the time, it really never gives the same weight two times in a row so it’s not exactly trustworthy. I have two 20 gram weights that are made to calibrate scales and I tried them with this scale and sometimes it reads 20g and sometimes it reads 19g, when I put both on sometimes it says 40g, and sometimes it says 39g. The weight result is different every time I weigh something and that’s not what you want to see in a scale, you want consistent and accurate results and this just doesn’t offer that.

I looked online and checked the user guide and I could find no way to actually calibrate the scale, which makes no sense to me at all.

I used it on numerous surfaces because I thought maybe that was the problem, nope, same results no matter where I used the scale.

 

Conclusion

 

The Pyür kitchen scale looks really nice and it seems well made but sadly I really can’t use it for much as it gives inconsistent results and to me that’s not what you want from a scale. The results I got from testing it were not accurate, at least not all the time. If I could calibrate the scale this might fix the problem, but I see no way to do this.

Pros:
+Easy to clean
+Looks nice
+Seems well made overall

Cons:
-Inconsistent measurements
-Powers on without pressing power button
-Not what I would call accurate
-No way to calibrate
