1. Hoto Kitchen Scale
Designed by Lu Zheng, Hoto is a smart kitchen scale that integrates the perks of smart technology such as accompanied social media channels and interactive control panels.
Why is it noteworthy?
The smart kitchen scale is minimally designed and features stainless steel controls, and a polished reflective sheen. It doesn’t include a whole bunch of controls and buttons, and in fact, consolidates every control into one interactive knob.
What we like
- Sleek and smart design with one knob operating it
- Allows Hoto users to share recipes using the accompanying social media app
What we dislike
- Since it allows users to keep track of how much they’re consuming, it could promote an unhealthy lifestyle if not used in a balanced manner
