In reality that cutting board design is terrible because the top of the scale (that has to move freely to get an accurate measurement) touches the sides of the cutting board since it is totally inset into the board, so when you're weighing food on it the sides of the scale will catch on the surrounding cutting board and give you an inaccurate measurement some of the time so you won't know if it is giving you an accurate measurement or not. The top of the scale that has to move freely should be ABOVE the cutting board, or there should be a 1/8" channel cut around the top of the scale so the surface that moves and weighs the food won't have any chance of touching the cutting board and causing friction against it which would cause inaccurate measurements.

Can't you just put a bowl insert items then tare the scale?
I bought a bottle of ketchup from Heinz for $1.97. This is a company that believes that "To do a common thing uncommonly well brings success."
It's inherently flawed. I'm calling it out. You buy it knowing it's flawed, you have zero excuse to complain.

Ah yes, the classic "It's under $25, so just accept that it's trash" defense. That mindset is exactly why companies keep pumping out half-baked products with zero accountability — because people like you are out here running PR for mediocrity.
Here's the problem: price doesn't excuse poor design. It doesn't matter if it's $5 or $500 — if a product is fundamentally flawed, it's fair game for criticism. Full stop.
You say "just use the tare function" like that's some magic fix. No — that's like telling someone to drive a car in reverse because the forward gear doesn't work. If you're defending a bad product by suggesting users work around its flaws, you're not helping — you're enabling garbage design.
And quoting Macy's reviews like it's gospel? Come on. We both know online reviews are a mixed bag at best, and a marketing tool at worst. That doesn't override real-world use exposing real-world failures.
Also, your ketchup comparison completely backfires. Heinz isn't respected because it's cheap — it's respected because it's consistently excellent at any price point. That's called standards. That's what real brands aim for.
So no, calling out a flawed product isn't being picky. It's refusing to normalize laziness in manufacturing. We don't lower our expectations — we raise the bar. That's how progress works.
If you're okay settling for broken just because it was cheap, that's your prerogative. But don't come for others who still give a damn about quality. Some of us expect better — and we should

How does this even solve the problem of the scales plate interfering with the side of the board? Unless that plate is removable (it isn't) you've done nothing different by putting a bowl on top
This is the route I take on my current scale for two reasons.
1. Its easier to disinfect
2. Bowls are dishwasher safe and scales are not.
Edit: If the bowl doesn't work then a quick run around the inside edge with a trim router should solve the problem.

Lol no, no such thing as a perfect product.
But tbh I don't understand the scale being flushed with the cutting board as being an issue. Sure the tolerance is tight but it looks like it's cut out properly and the sides aren't touching the edge of the scale.
But what I can see being an issue is good getting stuck between the scale and the wall of the cutting board.
