Electronic kitchen scale Little Balance 8716, max 5 kg, 1 g accuracy, LCD display

The Little Balance 8716 is an electronic kitchen scale with a maximum capacity of 5 kg and 1 g accuracy, intended for everyday cooking, baking and portion control. It has a rectangular weighing surface and a clear 51 x 23 mm LCD display for easy reading of results. The scale is rechargeable via USB‑C and designed for household use as a single‑unit pack.

Advantages

The scale operates without disposable batteries thanks to an internal rechargeable cell, offering up to approximately six months of autonomy after a full three‑hour USB‑C charge (about 500 weighings). The extra‑thin platform (approximately 11 mm thick) makes the unit easy to store or hang, and the large 218 x 158 mm weighing pan accommodates larger containers. The device is designed to be repairable: the rechargeable cell can be replaced after many charge cycles, similar to replacing a standard battery.

Suitable for

• Measuring ingredients for cooking and baking
• Portion control and meal prep
• Weighing items in larger containers or bowls
• Everyday household use where a compact, rechargeable scale is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This scale is not intended for commercial or industrial applications that require legal-for-trade certification or higher capacity than 5 kg. It may also be less suitable where continuous heavy use is expected in professional kitchens, since it is designed primarily for household routines.

Key specifications

• Maximum capacity: 5 kg
• Readability/accuracy: 1 g
• Weighing pan dimensions: 218 x 158 mm
• Display size: 51 x 23 mm LCD
• Platform thickness: approx. 11 mm
• Power: rechargeable via USB‑C, approx. 3 hours charging for ~6 months autonomy (approx. 500 weighings)

How to use

Place the scale on a stable, level surface and switch it on. Put the empty container on the weighing pan and use the tare function to zero the display if needed. Add ingredients until the required weight is reached. Recharge the scale using a USB‑C cable when the battery indicator shows low charge; a full charge takes about three hours.

What to consider before purchase

• Maximum capacity of 5 kg — not suitable for very heavy items
• Designed for household use rather than commercial environments
• Rechargeable battery: requires occasional USB‑C charging instead of disposable batteries

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, use the scale on a flat, vibration‑free surface and avoid weighing hot or wet items directly on the display area; use a bowl or container and tare before measuring.
