Customer Reviews

Marvelous scale5
I bought this scale as a combination kitchen/postage scale. I use it more for postage since I mail a lot of different stuff regularly. The scale is exceptionally accurate, with my weights without exception agreeing with the postal service scales. It's very attractive and functional, exceptionally easy to use.

I've noted some reviewers stating the difficulty of seeing the readout if one places anything larger than a small plate on the scale. My simple solution is to first put an "elevator" (I use a 32 oz. plastic yogurt container) on the scale that WON'T block the readout, then use the tare function to zero out the weight of this "elevator". THEN place the item you want to weigh on top of the "elevator". You get an accurate weight since the "elevator" weight is tared-out PLUS you can see the readout clearly since the elevator gets the object up high enough to not block the readout. I mailed an item the other day that was 36" by 24" and by using this "elevator" trick I got the exact weight and could see the readout quite clearly.

To summarize - extremely accurate, practical, attractive, and affordable. My only wish was it had a higher capacity (maxes out at 11lbs.) For most appplications, though I give it five stars all the way.

Good Scale.4
As mentioned in other reviews the readout is hard to see if you use a full size dinner plate. This can be gotten around by zeroing out the scale before you put the food on the plate, then zeroing it out with the food on the plate. Remove the plate and note the negative amounts on the readout. Subtract one from the other and "Voila!" you have the weight of the food even though you cannot see the readout when the plate is in the way. Still a good scale.

inexpensive scale does the trick4
the title says it all. if you need to weigh some food for portion control, this little scale works. It is small enough to be easily tucked away in my kitchen. and the numbers are very big and easy to read. However, it can be hard to read the numbers when you have a plate hanging over the edge.
