There was a very useful thread on scales posted back in 2019, here. I ended up buying the OXO scale to weigh base oils, lye and water mostly because I needed a compact scale due to space limitations and preferred cordless. I’m now on my second set of batteries, but the first set lasted for 20 months. I check the calibration every few months with calibration weights and have not had any issues. I would not buy the OXO scale if I worked in ounces because the reading for that scale is in 1/8 oz units rather than tenths. On the other hand, it’s very handy for weighing bars for labelling. I use a relatively inexpensive jewelers scale to weigh essential oils and other small quantities.
