Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Swiss have long been known for their keen ability to measure time precisely. With this scale, they show that they also know how to accurately weigh ingredients for recipes or portions for diet plans. This lightweight Soehnle scale reads in pounds and ounces as well as in kilograms and grams. The "add and weigh" feature means you can set a bowl on the platform, reset the dial to zero, add then accurately weigh an item you want to include, reset to zero again, and add the next ingredient without emptying the bowl. It can register up to 4 pounds, 4 ounces. The smooth plastic wipes off easily with a damp cloth for an easy clean. You won't need batteries or even electricity for this manual scale, so it's easy to take with you on fishing trips. Or, use it in your home office to weigh letters and packages. All Soehnle scales come with a 10-year warranty. --Linda Dahlstrom

1.0 out of 5 stars EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!!, May 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Soehnle 4-Pound Culina Scale (Kitchen)

This scale did absolutely nothing that it claims to do. I measured the same can of beans 10 times and got a very different weight every single time... It has absolutely no redeeming qualities. I think it is a shame that [they] sell it. Don't even think of buying it...:(

1.0 out of 5 stars The accuracy of this scale is extremely questionable!, April 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Soehnle 4-Pound Culina Scale (Kitchen)

I checked both the 4 lb model and the 11 lb model of the Soehnle Culina Scale for accuracy. For weights, I used different sized soup cans. Not only did the two scales give me different readings, neither of the two gave readings that matched the actual weight of the soup cans! The 11 lb model was often wrong by as much as 6 oz. Furthermore, neither scale returned to zero after measuring an item. You have to zero it for every single measurement. Another problem with these scales is that they are are not particularly useful for weighing items for mailing. The box says they can be used as a mailing scale, but when you put anything wider than 5" on top of the scale, you can't read the measurement. It is obviously designed for bowls, not packages. I returned both the 4 lb and 11 lb models since they are both useless when you want accurate measurements.

1.0 out of 5 stars inaccurate scale, May 3, 2001

This review is from: Soehnle 4-Pound Culina Scale (Kitchen)

This scale is junk. My postage scale is more accurate. It was off at least 10% and often 30% compared to supermarket scales, which are certified by the county. I'm thoroughly unhappy and unimpressed with this product
