5.0 out of 5 stars A Big Improvement Over the Soehlne Hippo..., March 19, 2005

By	delicateflower152 (Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I originally purchased a Soehlne Hippo scale and gave it four stars. It went "bonkers" in less than 30 days, so I updated my review and would have downgraded it to "1" star, if I had been able to do so. I replaced the defective scale with the Salter 6055, which was the other scale that I considered purchasing. So far, I'm extremely pleased with the Salter. If it lasts longer than 30 days (the Soehlne didn't), then it's definitely a 5 star piece of equipment. The scale is more compact than the Soehlne, much more "hefty" in feel, and very much easier to use. The on/off, tare, and kg/lb buttons require only a light touch to operate. The readout is clear and actually shows weights in both odd and even amounts. The ounce/lb. readout shows amounts in 1/8 oz. increments; very nice touch. The removeable weighing platform is extremely handy; if you're a "messy" baker, which I am, you don't have to fret about water or soap damage to the electronic components. Based on the short time I've had to try out this item, I'd definitely purchase a Salter product instead of a Soehlne.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile kitchen tool, September 20, 2007

By	Soy City Cyclist - See all my reviews

A good, quality scale is essential for consistent baking results. This scale does the job: simple to use, easy to clean, easily switches between U.S. and metric measurements, and nice long auto shut-off. I also like the fact that it takes up little countertop real estate AND that it is easily stored by standing on its side (if you so choose).

No more hunting for measuring cups, just put the bowl on the scale and tare between each item and you're done. This scale has been the one of choice in the test kitchens of the KING ARTHUR FLOUR (learned this via phone conversation with them) and is also highly rated by the good folks at COOK'S ILLUSTRATED.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great scale, accurate, nice looking, August 1, 2007

By	Food Blogger "arm0110" (USA) - See all my reviews

This was a replacement for an old Polder scale. I like this one better because you can switch between kg and lb on the fly, it has a washable stainless cover, and the buttons are sealed so if your fingers are damp when you push the buttons you won't damage your scale. It's very sleek and looks nice even if out on your kitchen counter. Highly recommend!
