This is quite honestly one of the best scales I've used, however be warned, that Polder is exceedingly difficult to reach, so if you have any difficulties at all with this scale that you cannot resolve on your own, Polder is not there to help you. They have a link to help/contact/faq on their website but it leads nowhere, in addition they do not have a valid email address. I now am stuck with the error message "out2" which I have no idea what means, and I have been trying to contact polder for days at (914)937-8200. So all in all its a good, useful, accurate scale, until any problem arises.

Great compact size and very accurate reading. I use it for my bodybuilding diet, to measure with I eat and its easy to use and very accurate. Great buy

Update: April 2007

I've had this scale for over 1 year now and is still working great. No problems and never even replaced the batteries yet. I use this about 6 times a day measuring all my food. I highly recommend this scale.

UPDATE: September 2007

The scale broke. RIP

After reading over the reviews on this and a couple other scales, I settled on this one and I am very happy I did! It's pocket size has made eating out so much easier. And it's digital readout is absolutely wonderful. I fix many meals at a time and seperate into smaller 'serving size' packets. This scale has made measuring out 2 oz of protein so much easier. The reset key is great too. I can use either the top as a measuring tray or my own plates. What a wonderful kitchen gadget.

I plan my meals and weigh and measure everything. The tray on this scale turns over to become the cover, which snaps into place to protect the mechansim and buttons. Easily fits in a shirt pocket, and can be taken along when traveling. Will not weigh heavier items (such as a whole chicken), but for portion sizes it's perfect. Use any container and the scale easily resets to zero to measure only the contents in the container. Switches between grams and ounces with ease so you can use the units provided in nutrition labels.

The Polder 932-00 Pocket Size Digital Scale is great for monitoring the calories you eat. I have purchased other scales and returned them because they are not accurate in the ounce range and are too big. The Polder is very accurate and very easy to use. It uses the units of grams and ounces. These units match all ingredient labels on food. The tare feature allows me to weigh more items at the same time. I always use the tray for weighing food since it is so easy to wash. The best part is that I can weigh my food after it is cooked. This allows me to eat more food since food shrinks on cooking. The scale's tray is also a cover for the scale. I have taken it on trips, and it works well. The only shortfall is that the scale is very efficient and turns itself off sometimes before I am done. Now that I know this, I work around it. I also purchased another one for my daughter.

I bought it to measure more accurately how much protein powder I use in smoothies I make, but I'm sure I'll put it to use measuring other things as well. I compared it with a larger kitchen scale, and it matches the result but has a finer resolution than the kitchen scale. So it seems fairly accurate. Make sure there is no breeze, because that will throw the measurement off a little. It's a cute little gadget. Fits in the palm of your hand and has all the functionality of a larger weight scale. Very useful, and a good value.

A nice little product, well designed. You can put a container on first, reset to zero, then add content to the container and get weight only for the contents and not the container. Cool. It's attractive, too, and I think it's fairly priced.

The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that the little moon-shaped pads, in the lid that doubles as a tray for weighing, came off immediately because they were not securely glued on. I can re-glue them so it's not a big problem and certainly doesn't interfere with the functioning of the scale, but it demotes the product by one star. 8=)

I purchased this product for Weight Watchers. It is compact, accurate, and the cover doubles as a tray. A terrific product.

We love the scale and it works great in the kitchen or eating out. It has been used every day, several times a day for the last 8 months. I just replaced the batteries for the first time last week.

A nice compact digital scale for accurately weighing out herbs or whathaveyou. The tray has six tiny bumps that hold it in place while you're weighing. It easily fits into a pocket or stows away in a backpack or the center console of a vehicle. The product delivers great value for what you pay. It would be nice if the LCD was backlit, but it's plenty visible as long as you've got light.
