4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, with a couple of shortcomings, October 4, 2005

I recently bought this scale, and so far I am mostly happy with it, and think it represents a good value. It is smaller than I anticipated, but I haven't had any trouble putting my largest mixing bowls on it, and the small size makes it easy to store.

I thought the 2000 g capacity would be ample for my purposes (mostly measuring flour for baking), but I failed to account for the weight of my large glass mixing bowl, which is 800 g. If I want to measure more than 1200 g of flour, I'll have to use a lighter bowl (which I don't like as much).

My main beef is that the scale automatically turns off after too short an interval. I was recently using the scale to portion my dough into 12 parts for bagels, and the scale often turned off in the time it took me to shape a handful of dough into a ball. Similarly, I recently put the bowl on the scale, tared it, and took a moment to gather my flour and a scoop, and the scale had turned off by the time I started scooping the flour--perhaps just a minute or so. A timeout of 5 minutes would be much more reasonable.

A minor gripe is that, when the scale is set to ounces, weights in excess of a pound are shown as pounds and ounces ("1 lb 2.5 oz") instead of just ounces ("18.5 oz"). My books tend to use just ounces, not pounds, so I wish the scale could be set to do the same.

I absolutely love this scale. The small size makes it easy to store in a drawer or any other small space. The zero feature is really useful. I can keep adding things to the bowl without having to empty the bowl in between. I've been through several scales and this is by far the best one I have ever owned. I highly recommend it.

I ordered this scale to upgrade from one of the awful things you buy in the discount stores. I needed a scale to divide portions and cook for two people. This scale is small and easy to use. I love being able zero the scale to weigh items on a plate or in a bag which keeps the scale clean. Not that cleaning is a problem. It cleans up in a snap. It's small makes storage easy. I highly recommend this item!
