Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Literally small enough to slip into a shirt pocket, this diet scale from Salter travels anywhere. Extremely precise, the scale measures items weighing up to 8 ounces (250 g) in 0.005-ounce (0.1-g) increments, making it ideal for special dietary and/or medical needs.

Made of durable blue and gray plastic that wipes clean, the scale features a cover that lifts off at the press of a button and turns upside down to act as a 3-by-3-inch weighing tray. Raised edges keep powdery or fine-grained items contained. After the tray is positioned in place, simply push the on button. Add and weigh food as needed, resetting to zero by pushing the on button again after each ingredient if desired. Pushing the button marked ‘g’ at any time will switch the mode between grams and ounces. Features include automatic zero, automatic shut-off, and low battery indicator. The scale tray is safe for the top rack of a dishwasher, but should not be used in a microwave. For best results, clean the scale immediately after contact with fats and strongly colored spices and foods, and avoid contact with citrus and other acidic foods. When closed, the scale measures 4-1/2 by 1 by 3-1/4 inches and includes two long-life lithium batteries. Made in China, the scale is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Salter 1250 Ultra Fine Electronic Dietary Scale, Gray & Blue (Kitchen)

I purchased this scale to use in mixing epoxy glue. The ability to add a component, note the weight, zero the scale, and then add an equal amount of a second component is really nice.

This product is exactly what it is described as; a scale to use when traveling. It can measure up to 8oz and is perfect to travel with! Your misreading the description is not valid as a review.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 14, 2005

This is not at all what I thought when I first read the item description, or else I was in too much of a hurry to read it. It barely measures four ounces, I thought it measured much more. This might be good if you're using it for travel, but I can't imagine that you'd even find it helpful when traveling.
