I've been using this dandy little scale for about two years and am really pleased with it. I love that you can switch from ounces to grams with the push of one button. It also has a stainless steel cover so you can put hot things on it without melting the scale. ~ Susan

Amazon.com Review
English manufacturer Salter understands that the best cooking requires impeccable standards in precision. A slight measurement difference between two and four ounces of minced jalapeno pepper in a recipe can mean disaster. To avoid such mishaps, Salter created this microtronic scale. With its compact size and simple design, users profit by easy storage whether on a countertop or a drawer.

The scale features a round 5-3/4-inch diameter plate upon which to place ingredients. Its careful construction maintains standards in both appearance and flavor, combating residual stains and flavors from previous use. With a handy conversion switch, ingredients may be measured in either the metric or imperial system, enabling cooks to prepare recipes from overseas without rummaging for a calculator. The scale handles quantities weighing up to 5 pounds, marked by the LCD display in 1/8-ounce increments. For the metric system mode, the scale measures with 2-gram increases with up to 2 kilograms capacity. 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 to zero for isolated ingredient weights. The scale also features an automatic zero setting and shutdown, extending the long life of the replaceable lithium batteries. For the best care, wipe down the scale with a damp cloth or a gentle cleanser. Batteries are included with this scale. Salter offers a ten-year warranty on this product. The scale measures 6-3/4 by 7-1/2 by 1-1/2 inches. --Jessica Reuling

does what it's supposed to :)
nice, simple and light weight. Easy to clean. Of course, the tare function is essential, and great. This is my first time having one of these, so I'll have to see how long the battery lasts. (which is replaceable )

kitchen digital scale
I purchased this as a gift from a bridal registry. I assume that my future daughter-in-law had a good reason for selecting this product. Comparing the scale to what I have been using all these years, it looks like it would certainly be a lot easier to use and would take up less space.

Good Basic Scale
I bought this scale for a diet that I was on and it worked great. I since have gone off of the diet, but find I use it more and more for everyday cooking and baking. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is very light weight and I am afraid if I dropped it it would break. That being said the no skid bottom holds it in perfect place on my kitchen counter.
