A sleek stainless-steel base and glass platform make this electronic scale slim enough to slip in a drawer and elegant enough to leave out on the kitchen counter. Food can be weighed directly on the glass weighing platform, or you can use any bowl you want. The Aquatronic features a special design that weighs liquids as well as solids, in the same bowl if desired, up to 11 pounds/175 fluid ounces (5 kg/5000 ml) in precise 1/8-ounce/fluid-ounce (2-g/2-ml) increments.
Like all of Salter's electronic kitchen scales, this one features a highly accurate strain-gauge weight sensing system, LCD display, lb/kg conversion switch, add-and-weigh function, low battery indicator, and auto zero function. Measuring approximately 8 by 8 by 1-1/2 inches, the Aquatronic comes with replaceable, long-life lithium batteries and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

I bought this scale recently to replace another salter aquatronic scale that just died (1003). The odd thing about this design is that the feet of the scale control the weight points which is fine for single use. However if you try to hit zero after already loading in some items on the scale (like if you want to weigh ingredient after ingredient in the same bowl)the scale measurement actually changes each time you hit the zero button. In essence it is very difficult to reset the zero feature since everytime you push the panel, the scale thinks that you are adding weight to it. The previous models had the scale parts internal to the unit so that pushing on the frame of the scale had no impact on the measurements. However with this unit, any light touch on any part of the scale causes the measurement to change. Not very useful if you plan on using any of the buttons on the front of the scale.
Overall if you plan on only ever measuring one item at a time and don't plan on using the zero function, then this unit is fine. Otherwise avoid this type of design where the feet of the unit is part of the internal measuring mechanisms. This one is going back for me so I give it a 2/5 since it does not do everything that is stated on the box. I do not think that this was a lemon unit, just a bad design.

I bought this as a replacement for a 3007, that I accidentally melted.
At first look, This scale is BEAUTIFUL..it's very sharp looking. Then I realized thet the buttons are not sealed, if you are using it for cooking bits of food are going to get lodged around the buttons.
The buttons are small & hard to read, the display is also harder to read than my old scale.
It's hard to clean, stuff gets between the glass and the stainless steel.
I like that it is more accurate but for my use I think the 3007 was accurate enough.
I wish Amazon had the 3009... I am going to return the 3003 probably will buy another 3007... I loved it.

bought the kitchen scale. It's so nice looking I have it on my counter top. It is easy to use. I love the fact that you can zero the scale out & keep adding ingredients. It also weighs liquid measures. The only thing I don't like is it always defaults to grams so you have to reset it every time to oz.

Broke after 14 months
After less than 2 years use one of the legs detached from the glass. Worked fine until then, nice looking but not worth the price.

Good looking but not built to last.
We received a Salter 3003 scale as a gift a few years ago. It's sharp-looking, reasonably accurate and has a good, usable range. Read more

Kitchen Scale used as a Postage Scale
I use it 90% for weighing letters and small packages to determine postage. It does a great job as it is very accurate.
