4.0 out of 5 stars auto shutoff IS a problem, but..., May 17, 2009

I agree with the others who complain about the auto shutoff feature causing the scale to turn off much sooner than it should. So far it hasn't been a major issue for me as I tend to weigh one thing at a time. If that worked as it should I would rate this scale 5 stars.

I've used a Soehnle scale and a Salter scale. MY Soehnle scale (12+ years old) still works but the one button on/off/tare operation is a real pain. My Salter scale died after less than a year and I went to a big local chain store to buy a replacement. They had about 8 scales, various brands in stock. I tested each of them and with the exception of one scale (that weighed in 2g increments, not 1g like the rest) every one gave the same reading. This Biggest Loser scale was the cheapest and I liked the raised glass platform that allowed me to see the readout easily. I saw no reason to spend a lot more money on the other scales.

I plan on buying another to keep at work. I have to be careful about weighing food for accurate carb counts (Type 1 diabetes) and I trust this scale as much as those other expensive brands.

I love this scale...for many many months I have been cheating myself on
many foods, by not weighing them...
This is a wonderful kitchen item if you are dieting, in fact a must!
How do you know if you have put too many ounces on a Turkey sandwich?
This Biggest Loser scale will do all the calculations and it is a snap to use...I like the glass on top which can be cleaned so easily...
LOVE IT!

After using just about every commercial food scale there is....I am very impressed with the quality and dependability of this scale.
Precise and lightweight it can go everywhere with me.
The large readout is perfect for me!
