3.0 out of 5 stars It's beauty, BUT, May 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Soehnle 66524 Futura Digital Food Scale, 11 Pounds Capacity (Kitchen)

It's a beautiful looking scale. I only wish that was easier to switch between lbs/ounces and grams. With my older digital scale (different brand) there was an easy to access button on the display panel. You simply pressed the button and the unit converted the weight. However, with this unit you have to take the back panel off, take a small screwdriver and move the calibration dial. Not so great if your not the only one that is going to use the scale.

I bought this scale back in Jan or Feb. I needed one and after looking around for a while found that I liked this one the best because of its easy to read decimile display- pounds on one side, ounces (down to the tenth) on the other side. The lb/k switch is located on the bottom side of the unit and I don't find it inconvient down there. This scale also has a auto shutoff feature that helps save your batteries but has never shut off while I'm in the middle of measuring. Because of previous complaints to that effect when I first got mine I timed how long it would stay on ending up with close to 2.5 min before it did. I also love the look of the scale it is sleek and stylish, very clean lines and is easy to clean too, just a quick wipe down and I'm done. As a note to Alton Brown fans this is his scale of choice on Good Eats. The price tag may have you shying away but I assure you that its worth every penny. I would not trade mine for anything!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great scale, but it turns itself off automatically., March 20, 2004

By A Customer

This scale is easy to use and measures accurately. I've had this scale for several weeks now and use it for baking/cooking.

The only thing I didn't like about this scale is that I was measuring some honey into a bowl. I had the honey in a bowl sitting on the scale while I was trying to calculate my measurement in ounces. When I return to continue where I left off (only a minute) the scale automaticlaly shut off. This caused me to remeasure the honey by emptying the bowl and starting all over...this scale will shut itself off if there is a period of inactivity.

Other than that, everything about this scale is perfect. I've been using it for baking and I like the fact that I don't need to use a lot of measuring spoons and measuring cups, leveling, packing, etc. I just weight each ingredient into a large bowl, one ingredient at a time and the same recipe comes out perfect everytime. This method is so much faster and more accurate.
