5.0 out of 5 stars AAA batteries was my deciding 'purchase' factor August 6, 2010

I've just purchased the KINTREX SLC0640 Digital Kitchen Scale. Several things I'm impressed with thus far [keep in mind, this is my first digital kitchen/food scale as I have been using the cheapy $5 spring type one found in many stores, so maybe I'm impressed easily].

(1) AAA batteries [First ones are included (nice), AAA's found anywhere as the small disc-like ones, maybe not as easy --- this was my deciding factor for purchase].
(2) The black glass is simple & smooth for easy cleaning and appears to be scratch resistant [I compare it to the iPhone glass screen], I haven't had it long enough to determine otherwise.
(3) Manual "off" button [saves battery life, I read that some of the others may not have this feature].
(4) Clear, bright LCD light up numbers. Measurements choices lb & oz, fluid oz, and metric.
(5) Tare function for measuring a dish to zero so you can have an accurate measurement of your food item or whatever you're measuring.
(6) Thinly flat for easy storage, I prop mine vertically in the cabinet.

ALSO NOTE: The directions say to "press" the buttons but actually pressing is not necessary. Touching is a better description [again, much like the iPhone screen]. It seems I'm satisfied with my purchase, at least for the whole 2 days I've had it. Hope this review was helpful. :o)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, Despite Marketing Controversies September 6, 2010

Note that I am a REAL reviewer. I was skeptical about purchasing this product because of the fake reviews, but I am glad I did. I am a meticulous calorie counter and this allows me to measure my food down to the gram with high accuracy. It came calibrated out of the box(verified with known weight) and is incredibly easy to clean. Also, I have gotten several compliments about how sleek this scale looks, with several people mistaking it for an iPad.

It should be noted that the buttons are very touch sensitive so sometimes I will accidentally hit the units button, but this has not been a real problem. Also, the buttons do not respond well when there is water over them, so make sure the scale is dry. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and give it 5/5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as described... August 4, 2010

Very similar to the KINTREX SCL0625 Digital Tempered Glass Kitchen Scale - Ultra Thin but this one works on AAA batteries vs lithium. It retains the 1/10 oz. increments and accuracy. Small footprint, yet big enough to hold a bowl steadily while weighing ingredients. Very easy to turn on/off, auto off after 1 min standby; change units and tare with one touch. Very smooth surface makes for wasy cleaning. All in all very happy with this purchase especially with the price which is lower than the other model. I have not owned the unit for a long time, so I can't speak about it's durability.
