Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Aquatronic is the first kitchen scale to weigh both liquid and dry ingredients in both metric and imperial. By using weight instead of the traditional cup/teaspoon measurements, the scale eliminates the need for multiple measuring cups and increases recipe accuracy. To make, for example, the dressing for potato salad, a bowl is placed on the scale, the on button is pushed, and then the MG/FL OZ button pushed. Mayonnaise is spooned into the bowl until 8 fluid ounces (recipes vary) is reached; the on button is pushed to reset, then 2 fluid ounces of vinegar is added. By pushing the KG/LB button, 4 ounces of chopped celery can be added into the same bowl, and so on. No other measuring devices are needed.
Like all of Salter’s electronic kitchen scales, this one features a high precision strain-gauge weight sensing system, low battery indicator, add-and-weigh capability, and an auto zero function. Both automatic and manual shut-off are featured. The Aquatronic measures amounts weighing up to 11 pounds (175 fluid ounces; 5 kg) in 1/4-ounce (5 g) increments. Slim in profile, the scale measures 8-1/2 by 7 by 1-1/2 inches with a weighing platform of 5 by 6-3/4 inches. Included is a handy stand-up conversion chart for various foods (different kinds of flour, cornmeal, mayonnaise, ketchup, etc.) that gives standard cup measures and their equivalent measure in ounces or fluid ounces. For example, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise equals 2 fluid ounces; 1 cup of bread flour equals 5 ounces. Salter also includes a long-life lithium battery and covers the scale with a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Salter 3007 11-Pound Aquatronic Baker's Dream Digital Kitchen Scale, Chrome (Kitchen)
I like this product. I think that for the money, it was a good investment. Whenever I have problems with the scale shutting off it is because I have not prepped my ingredients so that I am adding them too slowly. I like the look of scale and its size. I actually store mine on top of my toaster. I use my scale almost every day and I am pleased with the results.
My only complaint is that the grams are in increments of 5. I have some recipes that call for 62 g or 19 g of something, but being off by a few grams hasn't hurt the results. The only other scale I considered before purchasing this one was the Soehnle Futura. The comparable model is $30 more and it's a pain to switch between ounces and grams. As another reviewer noted, this scale would be perfect if you could use an AC adapter or disable the automatic shut off feature.

This review is from: Salter 3007 11-Pound Aquatronic Baker's Dream Digital Kitchen Scale, Chrome (Kitchen)
I am in my fourth year of teaching a culinary arts class at a local high school and I have used this scale extensively during that time with excellent results. A reviewer wrote that the scale will automatically turn off while measuring. This will only happen if you add very small amounts too slowly or if you pause for an extended time before adding an ingredient. For the price I do not think there is a better, more versatile scale on the market. I would rate the scale an overall 5 rather than 4 if an AC adaptor option was availabe that allowed continuous operation without automatic shut off.

A good scale, but keeps shutting off by itself....,
By Christopher Mah (Burnaby, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Salter 3007 11-Pound Aquatronic Baker's Dream Digital Kitchen Scale, Chrome (Kitchen)
I would keep this scale if it weren't for the annoying fact that it constantly shuts itself off. I realize there is an automatic shutoff, but it will shutoff while I'm pouring ingredients. This would irritate anybody. At first, i thought i just bought a lemon; however, i returned the first defective Aquatronic and exchanged it for another and it stills does the same thing. sigh... oh well...
