For the price, you just can't beat this little powerhouse of a scale. It's nice to look at, sturdy, cleans up quickly, and it really does the job. We liked it so much we're buying two more -- one to measure pet food for our Border Collies and one for a gift. If you need a small 18 oz. scale for any reason, you can't go wrong with this one by Polder. Anything comparable is at least double the price in kitchen specialty stores or diet institutes and probably not as nice.

I have searched all the local culinary stores and large grocery stores for a scale, but the Podler I found on amazon is wonderful (although I must admit I don't have much expierence with food scales). The scale helps stretch my food dollar while helping to control my food portions sizes. Being an active individual who tries to maintain a trim wasteline just got easier. I no longer play guessing games when trying to figure out how to cut things like chicken breasts or lean cuts of beef. This is a must for anyone who is serious about taking there diet out of the guess filled world of portion sizes and getting themselves on course with their diet.

This is exactly what I wanted. It is easy to use and clean, accurate, takes up little counter space and does everything I need (afterall, I'm weighing portions not freight). Simple, functional, and value priced. A very good buy.

I have been using spark people to manage my weight with success, and decided that it was time to purchase a food scale to be more accurate with my calorie counting. I'd never weighed food before, and wanted something inexpensive to start with. This little scale is just perfect and I doubt I will be upgrading any time soon.

It comes with a bowl-shaped top that is removable, and it is easy to put a plate or your own container on top, adjust for the different weight, and measure food that way, as well which is a great feature.

It has been very helpful, and is VERY accurate - if all you want is something to weigh food, why pay more?

does everything you would need in measuring food acurrately

The small kitchen scale is exactly the type of measuring scale I was looking for. Amazon comes through once again!!! I am using it mainly to measure a specific amount of walnuts twice a day. I wasn't sure how to gauge whether the "handful" was an ounce. Now I know I am eating the right amount.

It will get the job done. It is a great design, and doesnt take up a lot of space on the counter or cupboard. It is nice because it has removable bowl that is machine washable.
The dial on it is flimsy, and you have to recalibrate it before each use, which is super easy. The bad thing is that you have to look from the exact angle that you recalibraated it at because if you walk away and come back,m or even stand up or down a little it will give you a false measurement. It will get the job done if you are a patient person, if not then this isnt for you and I would recommend you get a digital scale.

I love this little guy! Does just what it's supposed to do and take's up very little space. Great price as well.

I purchased this food scale to measure my diet portions and I wished I never bought it so I put it aside and will be buying another type of scale. The problem with this scale is two things: Once the "empty" container is placed on top of the scale, the scale jumps off zero, therefore you will have no idea how much food to put in it to weigh the amount you want. Secondly, there is no way to know how much is 2 ounces, 3 ounces, 5 ounces, etc. because of the many lines which makes it very difficult to figure out anything. So don't frustrate yourself. Don't buy it. Only buy a scale that will start at zero and you can easily read the exact amount you want to weigh.

I wasn't expecting much but this little scale has performed perfectly in helping us weigh and measure everything on our diet. The unit is very small and seems to be very accurate. It can only weigh up to 1 pound, but for quick and small measurements there's really nothing better. The measurement bucket detaches and washes easily.
