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...:(

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.

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

Despite its attractive design and cost, this scale functions so poorly, it cannot be said to function at all. It gives wildly inconsistent readings, making its "zeroing" feature useless and claims to accuracy a joke. I advise amazon.com to discontinue this item, which I returned for a refund after purchasing a perfectly accurate Polder kitchen scale for half the price.

The Soehnle 4-Pound Culina Scale is the answer to a dieters dream. The cost is reasonable, it is accurate, and there is no restriction for its use around your microwave oven as there is with electronic scales. It is very easy to use whether you are weighing one item or a multiingredient portion of food. Put the plate or bowl on the scales and reset the scales to zero and add the food and record the weight, reset the scales to zero and add the next portion of food and record its weight. Continue this process until you have the individual portions of food weighed and recorded. This is much simpler than weighing in one container and serving it in another. The Soehnle 4-Pound Culina Scale is an excellent tool for dieters and diabetics to maintain accurate control of their diet. It makes it very easy to end the guessing about the calorie, fat, carbohydrate, and protein content of your diet.

Inexpensive, accurate, just GREAT ! No wonder this is bestselling kitchen scale in the world.(at least that is what a newspaper article said)

I am very happy with my scale. I love its simple mechanical design. My measurements are always repeatable and my zero point is consistent. It is very convenient for baking - I add the ingredent, then zero the scale again, then add the next one. My biggest problem - before I had the scale I kept finding recipes by weight, and having to guess. Now it seems all my recipes are by volume, and I have to guess again anyway!
