NUTRI FIT 5kg Kitchen Scale Review: My One-Day Test

NUTRI FIT 5kg digital kitchen scale review: 4.0/5 after a one-day hands-on test. I purchased this silver stainless-steel model on October 8, 2026 for €7.99, without a discount or compensation. I tried it with the same small cashew used in my other kitchen-scale tests, a marker and a one-liter drink carton, repeating the weighings to see whether the readings stayed stable.

The NUTRI FIT registered the cashew at 1 g, so it can detect at least some very small items. However, my HomeFashion 5kg scale displayed 2 g for the very same nut and cost me less at €6.79. Without a certified reference weight I cannot prove which reading was closer to reality, but on price and handling I still prefer HomeFashion. The blue screen on the NUTRI FIT is comparatively hard to read—especially through a camera—and its buttons could feel better.

The stainless-steel surface looks nice and cleans easily. The scale is compact and its listed 5 kg (11 lb) limit is fine for many kitchen jobs, although I would personally choose a model rated for 15 kg. Overall, I think it is worth the money, but not the best budget option of those I have tried.

My test record: NUTRI FIT silver stainless-steel 5kg scale, packaging model EK8840H. Purchased October 8, 2026 for €7.99, no discount or compensation. Used for one day. My readings: the same cashew as in other reviews 1 g; marker about 10 g; a one-liter oat-drink carton 1,063 g according to my contemporaneous notes. Readings were consistent on repeated weighing of the same objects. I did not perform independent calibration, fully load 5 kg, test battery life or measure long-term durability. The blue carton display is difficult to read in the photo; the 1,063 g figure is the owner’s recorded observation, not independently recovered from the image.

NUTRI FIT EK8840H — 4.0/5

My verdict: A good-value basic kitchen scale that registered very small and ordinary objects and repeated readings reliably in my one-day test.

Why it loses to HomeFashion for me: Its blue LCD and controls were less pleasant, its cashew reading differed, and the HomeFashion cost me less. I have not proved a calibrated accuracy difference.

Best for: Budget-conscious cooks who only need to weigh items up to 5 kg and like a compact stainless-steel platform.

What I would choose: HomeFashion for a 5 kg budget option, or another 15 kg scale for my own heavier-use needs.

Pros

• Inexpensive €7.99 personal purchase
• Detected a very light cashew at 1 g
• Repeat readings were stable in my short test
• Practical easy-clean stainless-steel surface
• Compact for small kitchens
• Manufacturer-listed 5 kg maximum suitable for many portions

Cons

• Comparatively hard-to-read blue LCD, particularly in photos
• Buttons could feel better
• Small weighing platform
• Only 5 kg maximum; I prefer 15 kg
• More expensive than the HomeFashion I liked better
• Long-term performance remains untested

Bottom line — 4.0/5: Good basic scale for the price, but I would buy HomeFashion rather than this NUTRI FIT if I only needed 5 kg capacity.

What I tested, and what I did not

I tested one NUTRI FIT scale over a single day using actual kitchen items. I looked at whether it registered a very light nut, whether it handled an ordinary small marker and a carton, and whether the readings remained consistent upon repeated weighing. All images in this article are my own, including the label, original packaging and test setup. I did not use certified calibration weights or test multiple production units, so this is an informed first impression rather than a precision-lab evaluation.

The same cashew: NUTRI FIT 1 g, HomeFashion 2 g

The cashew is especially useful because it was the same nut I used on the other scales. NUTRI FIT displayed 1 g and gave that reading again on repetition. My HomeFashion displayed 2 g; the ADE KE2500-1 displayed 0 g after zeroing. The Soehnle Cooking Star weighing spoon recorded 1.6 g for a small cashew in a separate test. These differences show that small-item readings deserve attention.

I personally trust the HomeFashion more for this kind of task based on what I experienced, but this does not prove its 2 g answer is the actual mass. One-gram display steps do not guarantee an error of at most one gram. For spices or ingredients where tiny differences matter, I would use independently verified reference weights or a suitable precision device.

My other test readings: 10 g marker and 1,063 g carton

The marker gave a reading around 10 g, while the one-liter drink carton registered 1,063 g in my notes. I could get the same result when repeating a weighing, which I take as a positive sign for short-term consistency. The blue carton photo is not ideal for reading digits, so the figure here comes from my actual recorded result, not from a claim that the photograph unambiguously proves 1,063 g.

Repeatable readings are encouraging, but not calibration

When I weighed the same item repeatedly, the numbers stayed the same. That is repeatability; accuracy would mean the display is close to the object’s independently verified true mass. I did not use certified weights to check the NUTRI FIT at 1, 2, 5, 10, 100 or 5,000 grams. My short use supports the practical impression that it is reasonably consistent, not a claim of certified 1 g accuracy.

Display, buttons and unit switching

The blue-backlit LCD works, but it is comparatively difficult to read and especially to photograph. I wish it were a little clearer. The buttons function, but they could be easier or more satisfying to use. The HomeFashion felt like the better daily experience to me, even though neither is a premium appliance. These are usability observations from one day, not an electronic response-time test.

Stainless steel, cleaning and small footprint

I do like how the stainless-steel platform looks. It is easy enough to wipe down, and the compact footprint can be convenient if you have limited kitchen or drawer space. For my own use, however, the weighing surface feels on the small side. I have no reason from one day to call the materials faulty, but I cannot claim months or years of scratch resistance, button endurance or corrosion performance.

A 5 kg scale is not my preferred capacity

The published maximum is 5 kg / 11 lb. That is fine for many standard ingredients, but I personally prefer 15 kg headroom for heavier containers or larger batches. If you know your normal cooking never needs more than 5 kg, the smaller limit may not matter at all. I have not independently stress-tested the maximum load.

NUTRI FIT product identity and listed specifications

My original packaging names the NUTRI FIT EK8840H kitchen scale. The owner-supplied Amazon.de reference is ASIN B0DWK6DK9N. Retail product descriptions list a 5 kg capacity, one-gram graduations, stainless-steel surface, blue LCD, tare/unit controls and AAA batteries. Those are seller/manufacturer specifications, not separately certified measurements from my test. The exact seller title and batch/model markings can vary; verify the pictured product at checkout.

HomeFashion vs NUTRI FIT vs ADE vs Soehnle

My published HomeFashion review, ADE review and Soehnle review give more context. These are separate one-day, real-world trials, not a calibrated side-by-side study. I will make the final ranking in a future buying guide using the full evidence from roughly seven tested kitchen scales rather than claiming that ranking is already complete.

Who should buy it?

• Consider NUTRI FIT if you need a cheap, compact stainless-steel kitchen scale for standard portions below 5 kg.
• Consider NUTRI FIT if you want a scale that can at least register some low-gram objects, as it did in my trial.
• Look at HomeFashion if the lower price and controls I preferred are more important to you.
• Choose a higher-capacity model if you want to weigh heavy bowls and large batches without hitting 5 kg.
• Use calibrated precision equipment if verified tiny-quantity accuracy matters more than convenience.

How I arrived at my 4.0/5 score

This is a first-hand editorial rating based on one day, not an average of Amazon customer ratings or a laboratory-certified test. I weight small-object detection and repeatability because they are important to kitchen weighing. I have not invented a separate multi-year durability score.

Weighted calculation: (3.8 × 0.25) + (4.6 × 0.20) + (3.5 × 0.20) + (3.6 × 0.15) + (4.3 × 0.10) + (4.2 × 0.10) = 3.96 → 4.0/5. I have rounded to one decimal place; the visible stars reflect the same 4.0/5. Read How I Test for our editorial method.

Frequently asked questions

Does the NUTRI FIT weigh a small cashew correctly?

It displayed 1 g with my cashew and repeated that number. I do not know the nut’s calibrated mass, so I cannot establish how accurate the 1 g reading was.

Can it measure under 10 grams?

It registered the cashew and a 10 g marker during my trial. That suggests it detects some small items, but I have not tested every small-gram increment or confirmed a minimum reliable load.

Is 5 kg sufficient?

It is enough for many normal cooking tasks. I prefer more headroom—15 kg—for heavy vessels and larger batches.

How good is the display?

It works, but I found the blue display somewhat hard to read and even harder to photograph. The buttons worked, though I wanted better feel and responsiveness.

Is HomeFashion better?

For my own use and prices, yes. HomeFashion was €1.20 cheaper and I preferred its handling. I have not proved from these tests that it is objectively more accurate or durable.
