What Chinese Users Say

Chu R. — JD Verified Buyer ★★★★★ “Exceeded expectations for ¥69. The 1g precision is accurate enough for baking bread and pastries. The glass platform is easy to clean — just wipe down. The ml mode for water and milk is handy for liquid ingredients. Compact enough to leave on the counter. Best ¥69 kitchen tool I own.”

Jin H. — JD Verified Buyer ★★★★☆ “Good scale with one flaw — the AAA batteries drain faster than expected (about 2 months with daily use). I switched to rechargeable batteries. Otherwise, accuracy is consistent — tested against my reference weights and it’s within 1g. The tare function works well for measuring multiple ingredients in one bowl.”

Feng B. — Taobao Verified Buyer ★★★☆☆ “Works fine for basic measuring but the auto-off is too aggressive — shuts off after 60 seconds even when I’m still prepping ingredients. There’s no way to disable it permanently (just toggle between 60s and 180s). Also the backlight stays on only briefly. For ¥69 it’s fine but Xiaomi’s ¥99 scale is more polished.”

Kang L. — JD Verified Buyer ★★★★★ “This little scale revolutionized my baking. I used to use measuring cups with terrible results. Now my bread and cake recipes are consistent every time. The 5kg capacity is enough for bulk ingredients. The compact size stores in a drawer easily. Highly recommend for anyone starting their baking journey.”

Xie J. — SMZDM User ★★★★☆ “At ¥69, this is the best value kitchen scale on JD. The Etekcity (¥139) has better build quality and Bluetooth app connectivity, but the Suppu measures just as accurately for a fraction of the price. For 95% of home cooks, the Suppu is all you need. Smart features on scales are mostly gimmicks anyway.”

To give you a complete picture, we compared this product against the top alternatives available in the same price range. Here’s how they stack up:

vs Premium International Brands

Premium brands typically offer more polished software, wider accessory ecosystems, and better international warranty coverage. However, they often cost 40-60% more for comparable core performance. For most users, the premium markup doesn’t translate to proportionally better daily experience.

Chinese competitors at similar price points offer comparable feature sets. The differentiators tend to be:

• App ecosystem: Some brands have more polished companion apps
• Build materials: Subtle differences in plastic vs metal ratios
• Customer service: Response times and resolution rates vary
• Brand reputation: Established brands offer more peace of mind

Value Verdict

When all factors are considered, this product represents a strong value proposition in its segment. It doesn’t try to be the absolute best at everything, but it delivers a balanced package that covers the essentials well while keeping the price accessible.
