4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice Scale for Multiple Uses, December 24, 2005
This review is from: Salter Digital Scale, Glass with Silver accents (Kitchen)
This sturdy little kitchen scale has served us well. It has reasonably high accuracy for the price, can weigh up to 11lbs+, and has a very small footprint. The batteries (two watch batteries included) last years on end without replacement. The glass surface is very tough and cleans easily. The large, flat surface allows for using tares (containers, which the scale can be reset to zero when loaded with) in measuring, also further extending the scales usefulness.
The scale also doubles as a postage scale in our household. The scale is sensitive enough to ensure small envelopes can be mailed with a single stamp and has the capacity to weigh small to medium parcels.
While at least one other reviewer has broken the glass, we found the glass to be very tough, surviving years of abuse. However, recently, a porcelain coffee cup dropped onto it from a high shelf seemingly ended it's life. The glass survived the scratch without a scratch (while the cup shattered to bits). Sadly, the strain gages seemed to have gone bad. Honestly, though, we'll replace it with the exact same model.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Attractive, highly accurate, super easy to use scale, July 31, 2005
This review is from: Salter Digital Scale, Glass with Silver accents (Kitchen)
I've used this scale for a short time, but already find it essential equipment in my kitchen. Attractively sytled, very easy to operate, converts instantly between grams and ounces at the touch of a button, zeros out for incremental measurement (again, at the touch of a button) -- there's nothing I dislike about this great device. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars
most convienent scale I ever owned, April 16, 2006
This review is from: Salter Digital Scale, Glass with Silver accents (Kitchen)
I love this scale. Especially how I can put a bowl, measuring cup or whatever and on it and then hit the zero button. Then when I add ingredients I don't have to subtract the container weight. I can add successive ingredients and hit the zero button each time. The large surface area handles most containers. It is smaller and lighter than I expected and stores easily in the cupboard on it's side. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I am not sure of the accuracy for low weights. Sometimes when I am adding(or subtracting) small increments the addition will not register and I am sure I have added enough. Still, I am very pleased with this scale and wish I would have bought it a long time ago.
