HomeFashion 5kg Digital Kitchen Scales (1g increments) with stainless steel platform and backlit LCD
Product description
If you cook a lot (or you simply like weighing ingredients properly), a kitchen scale is one of those tools that quietly makes life easier. The HomeFashion 5kg digital kitchen scales focus on straightforward measurement with a stainless steel platform and a backlit LCD display, so you can read the numbers without squinting.
It’s aimed at everyday home use, mixing bowls, and meal prep rather than anything fancy. That said, it does include the practical basics you tend to want: fine 1g increments, multiple units, and a one-touch tare function.
The essentials (what it does)
These HomeFashion digital kitchen scales measure up to a maximum capacity of 5kg, with increments of 1g. That makes it suitable for most baking and cooking tasks, from weighing flour and sugar to portioning meat or setting out ingredients.
On top of grams, it measures in ounces and pounds (lb). The base description also notes liquid units (ml and fl’oz), which can be handy if you’re following recipes that include both weight and volume.
Key features you’ll actually use
What stands out, on paper at least, is how the scale is designed around common cooking workflows. The one-touch tare resetting function is especially useful when you’re combining multiple ingredients in the same mixing bowl: you weigh one ingredient, reset/tare, then add the next without doing extra math.
The stainless steel surface is another practical choice. It’s easier to wipe down than many non-metal tops, and it suits both home kitchen use and a light office or workshop style environment if you weigh things occasionally beyond cooking.
The backlit LCD display is there for visibility. In real life, that typically matters most when the kitchen lighting isn’t great.

Where it shines, and where it may fall short
It’s a solid fit if you want a simple digital scale for everyday measuring—baking, portion control, and recipe prep—without overcomplicating things. The 1g increments are a nice level of detail for cooking, and the tare function makes it convenient for multi-ingredient recipes.
However, take note: the description doesn’t mention anything like smart connectivity or advanced precision testing, and the 5kg max is fairly typical for kitchen models. If you expect to weigh very large ingredients frequently (beyond normal pantry use), you might find the capacity limit a bit restrictive.
It also looks more like a home-focused scale (genuine use, wipe-clean platform) than a lab-style instrument. If you’re trying to extract the last bit of accuracy for specialised tasks, you may want to look at higher-end options.
Getting the most from it (practical use)
A quick example: you’re making a cake batter. Put your mixing bowl on the stainless steel platform, wait for the reading to stabilise, then press tare to reset it to zero. Add flour, note the weight, press tare again, then add sugar. You keep everything in one bowl and avoid messy measuring cups for each step.
¿Merece la pena?
Yes, it can be worth considering if you value the basics done properly: 5kg capacity, 1g increments, multi-unit readings, and a one-touch tare function, plus a backlit LCD so you can read the display easily.
It may not be the best choice if you need features beyond standard kitchen weighing (for example, anything that relies on precision beyond what’s described here), or if you frequently work with weights over what most kitchen tasks require. In those cases, a more specialised scale approach might suit you better.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you’re after an uncomplicated digital kitchen scale for regular recipe work and ingredient prep, and you want something wipeable with a readable screen.
You may want to skip it if your use case involves frequent weighing at the extreme end of the 5kg range, or if you’re specifically hunting for higher-end features that aren’t mentioned in the provided details.
Care and maintenance
Because the surface is stainless steel and described as easy to clean, routine care is likely to be straightforward: keep it dry after wiping, avoid soaking, and wipe off any residue after use—especially if you’ve measured sticky ingredients.
