Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This German company has been making scales since 1868 and, therefore, has a great deal of expertise behind the production of each one. The Vera model is durably made with a reliable weighing mechanism and is easy to use. This digital scale has a switch underneath it that sets measurements to either the imperial (pounds/ounces) or metric (grams/kilograms) systems, making it easier to follow recipes from either American or European cookbooks without having to figure out weight conversions. An additive weighing function reports changes in weight as you continue to add ingredients to the scale. The Vera measures up to 9 pounds, 15 ounces or 5000 grams on its stainless-steel platform. This kitchen scale uses a CR 2430 battery and is guaranteed by Soehnle for up to 5 years from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

Excellent, functional kitchen tool.,

This review is from: Soehnle Vera Black/Stainless Digital Food Scale (Kitchen)
Of the many digital scales I've looked at, this is probably the one with the most bang for the buck. Simple to use, four AA batteries (no micro hearing aid batteries), with a one-button control panel, and clearly written pictographic instructions that a 5-year-old could understand.
Compact, lightweight, perfect for the perfectionist baker, and, so far, accurate enough to use for a postal scale. If it holds up for 5 years, I'll let you know. One correction: since I've bought it, the maker has switched to using a small button-type battery. Should be no problem, the unit is definitely very energy efficient. Update April 2009: the scale finally gave up the ghost (weight readings fluctuating widely), after almost 6 years of constant, almost daily use. I think I got my money's worth <grin>.

Digitial scale,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soehnle Vera Black/Stainless Digital Food Scale (Kitchen)
Received this as a gift, but I looked around for awhile at scales. This is a great one, at a decent price. Great value. Easy to use (use any of your bowls on the scale), accurate and loved that you can move between grams and pounds. It compact enough to put in a drawer. Excellent scale.

Different kinds of Vera? Confused by reviews on record,

This review is from: Soehnle Vera Black/Stainless Digital Food Scale (Kitchen)
I received my Vera scale yesterday and felt deeply disappointed. Well, the scale I received did not work right. I tried a few items on the scale very carefully and the scale couldn't read a fixed number for the weight of any item. It would keep flashing different numbers. I am returning it as a defective item. To those who are interested in this scale after reading the glowing reviews, just for your information, this scale does not use AA batteries, contrary to at least two reviews. Amazon.com's product information is right that it uses a CR 2430 battery. Maybe there are two different kinds of Vera existing? Before I made the purchase, I read that the White Vera and Red Vera both use AA battery on their respective product description page so I assumed that I should trust the reviews on this stainless steel Vera and believe it uses AA battery anyway. I was proved wrong. Also I don't like it that I have to reach underneath the scale to switch between OZ and Gram, which I found very inconvenient. For me, it's a blessing in disguise that the scale sent to me was defective. I am sending it back and going to try either a different model or brand name.
