4.0 out of 5 stars Works just as it should, January 8, 2010

I received this item as a Christmas gift and I really like it. I've never owned a kitchen scale so have nothing to compare it to, but this item does what it says it does. I'm a little surprised people complain about the buttons. They are buttons that are flush with the unit so you don't get gunk in between or behind them. I think that's a great idea so even if I felt I had to push harder to make them work (which I don't feel I do), that would be fine by me. The first time I used the unit was this evening when I was repackaging meat I purchased in bulk. It was great to sort out individual pounds to be stored in the freezer. (The removable stainless plate that comes with this is great for this.) But what I didn't like was that if I left the scale for too long, it would automatically shut off. Now this is good and bad. Bad because if you are using it for awhile and you keep having to turn it on that's extra work. But it's good because it saves on the batteries (so I'd rather it shut off automatically and save the batteries). As another reviewer mentioned, the default weight is in grams. I personally will probably always want the pounds/ounces option so to have to change this every time is a little annoying, but again, not a huge deal. I really like how small and sleek the scale is. It's definitely something I will keep out on my counter. I would definitely purchase this and would recommend it. Thanks!

I'm sorry "Betsy" didn't like this scale. I got one and love it. It is not very large but weighs in both grams and Olde English pounds, ounces, etc., which are such a bother to deal with.

This scale sets to zero with either the push of the tare button or by putting the bowl, etc., on the scale and then turning it on. In order not to get liquids or flours, etc., spill on exposed buttons (and ruining it), it has a single membrane cover over the dials. It may be a little harder to press down on but you can instantly wipe it clean. It also has a stainless steel sheet to put over the scale and catch all spills. It gets included in the zero tare weight, so it doesn't affect your measurements. You can take it off and wash it by itself.

I heartily recommend this excellent scale. It is a good buy for your money.

I bought this scale because I have to make very special food for my beloved cat. I had been using another scale for some time and the process of making this life saving food recipe was literally taking me all day for a one month supply. It is now taking me only 2 hours! Thanks!
