Most accurate digital food scale that can handle small amounts?

Looking for a digital food scale. The GreaterGoods scale for $14 on Amazon has mostly good reviews, but there are enough bad reviews regarding measuring grams that it doesn’t seem like it’ll work for me.

I have this one and I find it does just fine measuring grams. Granted, I’m not measuring out cocaine or something so your mileage may vary. 
But I only measure in grams and have no issue.

I have the same one! Works great for me - I also measure mostly in grams.

I bought a $10 one at Publix a few years ago that works fine. I've never checked to see how accurate it is though.

I use this one for measuring out brewing salts. Goes to 1/10th gram. I had one previous that measured in hundredths but it ended up dying on me.

I also have that Ozeri, and it seems to work fine.

If you are using for recipes, any inaccuracy will not matter as measuring will be same for all ingredients.
If you are measuring for intake consumption, it may matter, but I would think it negligible.

I said what I said. say recipe calls for 10g flour and 20 g water. My scale is off by 10%. so I add 11 g flour and 22g water. The proportions will be the same if measured on an inaccurate scale.

The issue would be something like bread.
If the scale doesn't handle small amounts well the yeast won't be in correct proportions to the flour and water.
Off by a gram of yeast and you have a dough that won't prove correctly.

If you only sell by the eight ball or larger, you don't have to worry about the small stuff.

I've had the Ozeri Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale (12 lbs Edition) for several years. $15.40 now on Amazon.
Pretty sensitive to small items. Adding one dried chickpea will register on it.

This place always reads my mind. I am also in the market for a kitchen scale.
Sounds like Ozeri is a popular choice.

This is the one I have, it will register half a pinch of salt. I don't bake, only use it for curing meats.

I have & use heavily a My Weigh Maestro: it has a large platform accurate to a gram, with a side pull-out mini platform accurate to a tenth of a gram. (I'm a baker who routinely measures small quantities of yeast, salt, etc) Big platform can handle up to 17 lbs, so it is an extremely versatile unit for big or small batches.

Check the accuracy of whatever scale you purchase by weighing coins - a Lincoln penny weighs 2.50 g and a George Washington nickel 5.00 g, give or take a couple hundredths of a gram. Good for double checking accuracy for low weights. I do it all the time when checking accuracy of a kitchen scale.
But of course if you weighing larger weights - 200 g, 500 g, etc you’d need some different known tare weights to check accuracy. Or a lot of nickels.

Not a great look to have something on the scale and it reading all zeros
