This scale compares very well for features and function with much more expensive brands and boasts a 10-year warranty. It's pleasant and intuitive to operate with soft-touch rubber buttons and lighted display. Some of the display characters are a bit too small for easy legibility, but the back-light feature improves legibility to acceptable levels. I can't test accuracy, but at least it's consistent (gives same reading for a given item over and over) and gives plausible values.

So far, I'm very pleased. Time will tell if it holds up to use in our kitchen. [UPDATE: After 3 years of weekly kitchen use, the scale performs like new. Still on the same 9-volt alkaline battery.]

One unfortunate detail is that the 9 volt battery enclosed with my scale is slightly too thick to fit properly in the battery compartment. Consequently, the battery cover (a separate piece) will not slide and latch into place if the included battery is used. The too-thick battery is labeled "Pakko heavy duty battery" made in the PRC (People's Republic of China). It appears to be an old-fashioned lead-acid battery, not the longer lasting alkaline type. When I substituted a new Duracell 9-volt alkaline battery, the fit was perfect and the battery cover slid neatly into place.

Measured with a set of calipers, the difference in thickness of the two batteries is only 1 millimeter but that's enough to cause an annoying problem.

Auto-shut-off feature can be disabled: Reviewers of other kitchen scales with auto-shut-off have complained that if a delay occurs during the process of adding a series of ingredients into a bowl resting on the scale, the scale turns itself off after being idle for, typically, 3 minutes.

I currently own four American Weigh Scales. The reason I like American Weigh is their documented 10 year warranty on all their scales, the excellent support as when you call them, someone answers, is knowledgeable about scales, and will help you.

However, although this scale has a number of things to like, this particular one did not make the cut for *my needs*.

Here is what there is to liked about this scale:
- Stainless Steel platform, that is 6x6 inches. Roomy and nice, the stainless platform is easy to clean.
- 13 lb capacity - for a kitchen scale, that is adequate.
- Tare, hold features - both come in very handy, especially the hold.
- The button to turn on/off the "auto off" feature. The auto off feature is very fast on this scale (60 sec?) and having the ability to override is nice.
- The light comes on when you put more weight on it, or take weight off. The light coming on automatically is nice.

Here is what I did not like about this scale:
- The display is not easy to read unless you are at the exact right angle. I noticed this in another review, and it is true, as some angles are not ideal.
- The numbers on the display could have been larger.
- It turns off automatically TOO quickly. I like auto-off, but after more like 3-5 min and not the less than 60sec on this one... Sure, this one has a switch to override it, but that only makes one more thing to forget....
- It is slow to adjust the weight when adding more weight to an already existing load. Having a couple second delay is common among many scales, but some scales are better and I prefer those. This one is a little slow for my liking.
- The display kept "blinking" and cutting out. Could have been a lemon, but it was not a plus.

I wanted a scale that I could use to track my bunnies' weights (3-4 lbs each) and my sugar gliders' weights (around 50-55g). I spent a LONG time shopping and looked at every scale I could find in the $25 or less range.

things I looked for (I think I remembered them all):
~ accurate down to 1g increments
~ uses a normal battery instead of one of the expensive lithium ones
~ fairly large weighing area
~ tare function
~ good reviews/no red flags that it might not be the right scale for me
~ appeared easy to use
~ no unnecessary "bells and whistles"
~ reasonable price

eventually, I narrowed my choices down to this scale. I would've preferred something that takes AA batteries, as I've got tons of AA rechargables... but I settled for 9V because everything else about this scale appeared to be exactly what I wanted.

contrary to what some others have mentioned, the battery that was included with the scale fit perfectly - my guess is they remedied that problem at some point.

I've used this scale *very* frequently for the couple months I've had it so far and the original battery is still going strong. I've found more uses for this scale than I ever thought I would - weighing out portions, weighing packages to mail, etc. - it's surprisingly handy! it's also very easy to switch between modes.

the scale is very accurate/consistent, even with a sugar glider or Syrian hamster walking back and forth across the weighing surface or with a bunny *constantly* shifting around inside a box placed on the surface. however, as a note to anyone using this to measure food ingredients and such, it can sometimes take a second or two to register a change in weight.
