Awesome little scale, May 5, 2010

This is a great scale, especially for beginners like myself. The tare is easy to figure out, although I see from prior reviews some people could not figure this out. My only beef is that if you put a plate on it the reader is obscured. But I love the unobtrusive size and love the color. Very affordable and a reliable product. I've had mine for about a year now.

       very helpful tool for the kitchen, May 5, 2010

I've used an analog scale in my kitchen for years but it was clumsy to use and only gave the weights in grams. It was also flimsy and everything you weighed had to be contained in the little box that came with the scale. This scale is MUCH better. The weights are displayed digitally and you can easily switch from grams to ounces, etc. You can place dish you want to weigh your food in on the scale, tare and then add the product - so easy. I am counting calories, etc. and often need an accurate weight to know how much I can eat. I place the container on the scale, tare, add the first ingredient, second, etc. I have found myself putting a container of fruit on the scale and then weighing out 5g of whipped topping so I know I am eating a serving. I've used this scale for more than a month now and it is used almost daily. I've weighed both heavy and light items and not seen any problems. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase for quality and usefulness.

       Great Scale for the money!, May 5, 2010

I am extremely happy with my purchase on this scale. I use it often and have not had any problems with miscalculations. I double checked the first few times on my manual scale and once I seen that it was weighing right, I pitched that manual scale in favor of this one. It takes up very little space and is compact enough for me to bring with to work if I need too.

Don't know how I lived without it! It's very lightweight and easy to use. I discard store labels when rewrapping meats and other products and now have a way to determine the weight for recipes.
