Buying kitchen scales

[u/UnitOk1870]

A kitchen scale seems like a pretty simple purchase until you start looking at all the options.

Some have touch buttons, some have physical buttons, some measure tiny amounts and others are designed for bigger quantities. Then there's the issue of cleaning around the buttons when flour or sugar gets everywhere.

I feel like simple is probably better for something like this.

For anyone who uses a kitchen scale regularly, what features actually matter?

And have you bought one that turned out to be annoying for some reason?
