Amazon.com Review
This German company has been making scales since 1868 and has a great deal of expertise behind the production of each one. The Futura model pairs a contemporary design with a reliable weighing mechanism. This digital scale can be configured to measure in either imperial (pounds/ounces) or metric (grams/kilograms) systems of measurement, making it easier to follow recipes from either American or European cookbooks without having to figure out weight conversions. An additive weighing function reports changes in weight as you continue to add ingredients to the scale. The Futura measures up to 4 pounds, 6 ounces or 2 kilograms on its unbreakable glass platform. This kitchen scale comes with a replaceable longlife lithium battery and is guaranteed by Soehnle for up to 5 years from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

From the Manufacturer
A must for any industrial kitchen, the Futura scale features a silver matte base with a sleek glass platform that can be removed for simple cleaning. The scale's fashion-forward design has made it a consistent Soehnle bestseller. The Futura includes an easy-to-read LCD display, an additive weighing function, and kilogram/pound conversion. The 4-pound, 6-ounce capacity scale reads in precise .05-ounce increments.

Customer Reviews

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.

Best scale!
I use this scale for everything from baking to mailing and it is extremely accurate. It looks like art, works like a dream and is very easy to clean. You can turn it on, set a bowl on it and zero it out then fill to desired weight, very easy to use. Great for measuring out precise amounts of bread dough for very even sized rolls. Great for gram weight when mailing a letter or anything light weight that requires a precise weight. You will love it as much as I do, I'm sure of that!

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)
