Others say...
"review digital food scale" This scale works OK. It does what it says and works fine. However, the on/off button especially the off button does not always work. "Bad Buttons, Short Battery Life" Beautiful to look at, BUT, I agree with other reviewers that buttons are difficult to operate and don't even work sometimes, plus be prepared to change batteries every few months--ridiculous for something that uses TWO lithium batteries and is not in heavy, or even everyday use! "2 things" Having a scale is great for portion control. This scale looks artful and is accurate, but there are 2 things I don't like about it. The turn off button and the reset button don't work very well, and the grams/ounces switch is very difficult to reach. And yes, I find the grams/ounces switch to be important, since on all packaging serving size calories are always given in grams, but most other sources of info give calorie info in ounces. "WOW, what a beauty!" When I bought this scale from amazon, I couldn't quite picture how big it was, and I was afraid it was going to be too large (I have a very small apartment kitchen). When it arrived, I was very pleased on several levels--first, it is really compact and sleek; second, that it is even more beautiful in person than it was in the picture; and third, because of the open base, it is hangable! (Not to say that the manufacturer would RECOMMEND hanging it but that it's design makes that possible.) The scale now has a place of honor on the wall next to my stove, along with my Henckel magnetic knife rack and my stir fry pan. When you have a tiny space, you have to make use of every available inch...and that includes the walls! :) I have not used the scale a great deal yet but love it already. The only criticism I have, and perhaps my package was just missing something, is that the only instructions I got is a series of pictures in multiple languages. You've GOT to be kidding! I was so turned off by this that I just put down this so-called "instruction" sheet and turned on the scale...just one button and easy to use. Still, some text instructions for switching from pounds to grams, cleaning, etc. would have been nice. "Simple to use" An accurate scale that looks good. The base is aluminum looking plastic, while the scale tray is good quality glass. For $100 I expected an aluminum base. If you do need to change the units from US to metric, removing the rubber base and finding a knife or other sharp instrument to move the selector is fiddly and annoying.

What our customer's say! "Scale", Not as good as I thought it would be, kinda cheapo for a 50 dollar scale. "Nice digital scale", I bought this scale because Alton Brown recommended it in several of his books and on his old web site. This was back in mid 2004. It still has the original battery in it. I don't know how people can be complaining about battery life. It turns itself of automatically after 2 minutes of idle time. I love this scale because it is very accurate and easy to use. One button controls everything. I have only a couple complaints: 1. The rubber cover on that button got a crack in it not long after I got it. This MAY have been due to the fact that it went through several moves after I got it. 2. I wish there was an easier way to switch from grams to ounces. It would be nice to be able to do it on the fly. You have to turn the unit off and open a rubber cover on the bottom to switch it from one mode to the other. It's a simple little slide switch. Since I started using it, I decided it was best to just keep it on the metric setting because it's so much easier to do the math when dividing stuff (I'm really good at math, but it's still a pain to the sixteenth thing all the time, why get a calculator out when you can do tenths in your head?). The other nice thing about this scale is that it looks good enough to leave it out on the counter all the time. Most of the time, I use this for making bread, so I don't need the 11 pound capacity that people seem to need. When (and if) I ever need that capacity, I won't hesitate to get that cool looking three legged model that Soehnle sells. "Great Product", It works as advertised. It is very consistent and accurate with a simple and elegant design. The only detractor is that you have to do get under the hood to switch from metric to Imperial. I don't do that very often so it doesn't really bug me, but still loses a star for me because of it. I still highly recommend it though. "Beautifully Functional Scale", Delighted from the moment my wife walked into the kitchen and said, "Wow, that's nice looking enough to leave on the counter!" I had been searching for a "good" kitchen scale and this one serves us perfectly. The design is clean, the scale is accurate and easy to use, and the display is easy to read. I happily recommend this product. "Good value, best if you don't switch units often", This scale works as advertised, is relatively compact, and is very easy to use (only one button!). It suffers from one design flaw mentioned in other reviews: the grams<->ounces conversion is a slider switch hidden in the back of the battery compartment. It is almost impossible to switch by hand, so if you find yourself using mixed units, this is not the scale for you. Pros: 1) Accuracy is good 2) Very compact 3) Easy to clean 4) Easy to use Cons: 1) Difficult to switch between English and metric units 2) Turning off requires a bit of patience (I just let it auto-off) 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Attractive, simple, and works fine.", The scale does everything you'd expect from a nice digital scale, and looks as good as the picture. The controls could not be much simpler -- there's only one button! -- and the display is exceptionally clear and easy to read, with big black numbers. The only negative for me is that one button is actually too few. The machine tries to guess whether you mean "set zero" or "turn off" depending on when you push the button, so it can take more than one try to turn it off. And to change between grams and ounces requires turning the machine over and removing a rubber cover to get to a truly hidden switch. Simplicity is great, but they took it a bit too far. "The Futura kitchen scale", This scale fulfills the architect's dream: beauty of design and genuine functionality. Frank Loyd Wright would be pleased. "Great little scale!!", I just received this and I Love it!! Easy to use, lightweight, and very accurate!! So, Glad I bought it at the sale price last week! "great scale", This scale has worked perfectly for me for the last year or so. It is very easy to use. It looks great and has a permanent place on our counter. I wish all consumer electronic products were designed and built to the same standards as this scale. "Looks similar, but not the same!", While this item looks very similar to the Soehnle scale that won "America's Test Kitchen" honors, note that this scales's capacity is only 4 lbs, whereas the previous scale won partially because of its 11 lb capacity. On the plus side, this scale is about $30 cheaper, and just as good looking. On the down side, there appears to be no direct replacement for last years 11lb model (Edit: The Soehnle 66524 is a similar design and handles 11lbs) |
