Product Description

Amazon.com Review
With an attractive glass measuring plate and compact size, this electronic kitchen scale blends functionality with style. From England’s original scale manufacturer Salter, the sensitive gauge of this scale provides precise measurement for the most elaborate recipe or detailed dietary needs.

Cooks place ingredients on a durable glass plate to weigh. The 7-inch square plate cleans easily, and its construction hinders residual flavors and staining for greater sanitation. Two lithium batteries power the electronic scale that features user-friendly perks including a low battery indicator, automatic zero, and automatic shutdown. For measurement with bowls or other containers, users need only place the empty container on the scale and press the power button to set the measurement at zero for isolated ingredient weights. The scale adapts to either the metric or imperial system and measures quantities up to 11 pounds or five kilograms. The scale displays increments of 1/8 ounces or 2 grams as fractions rather than decimals. Batteries are included with this scale. Salter offers a ten-year warranty on this product. The scale measures 7 by 8 by 1-1/4 inches and weighs 1.55 pounds. --Jessica Reuling

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Scale for Multiple Uses, December 24, 2005

By	J. Coleman (Franklin, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This sturdy little kitchen scale has served us well. It has reasonably high accuracy for the price, can weigh up to 11lbs+, and has a very small footprint. The batteries (two watch batteries included) last years on end without replacement. The glass surface is very tough and cleans easily. The large, flat surface allows for using tares (containers, which the scale can be reset to zero when loaded with) in measuring, also further extending the scales usefulness.

The scale also doubles as a postage scale in our household. The scale is sensitive enough to ensure small envelopes can be mailed with a single stamp and has the capacity to weigh small to medium parcels.

While at least one other reviewer has broken the glass, we found the glass to be very tough, surviving years of abuse. However, recently, a porcelain coffee cup dropped onto it from a high shelf seemingly ended it's life. The glass survived the scratch without a scratch (while the cup shattered to bits). Sadly, the strain gages seemed to have gone bad. Honestly, though, we'll replace it with the exact same model.

5.0 out of 5 stars Attractive, highly accurate, super easy to use scale, July 31, 2005

By	Timothy T. Sullivan (Suwanee, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've used this scale for a short time, but already find it essential equipment in my kitchen. Attractively sytled, very easy to operate, converts instantly between grams and ounces at the touch of a button, zeros out for incremental measurement (again, at the touch of a button) -- there's nothing I dislike about this great device. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars most convienent scale I ever owned, April 16, 2006

By	L. Gray "Kitchen Gardener" (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this scale. Especially how I can put a bowl, measuring cup or whatever and on it and then hit the zero button. Then when I add ingredients I don't have to subtract the container weight. I can add successive ingredients and hit the zero button each time. The large surface area handles most containers. It is smaller and lighter than I expected and stores easily in the cupboard on it's side. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I am not sure of the accuracy for low weights. Sometimes when I am adding(or subtracting) small increments the addition will not register and I am sure I have added enough. Still, I am very pleased with this scale and wish I would have bought it a long time ago.
