“I have been searching for a long time for a set of kitchen scales that are worth paying the money for. I was wanting some that are not only very accurate but will weigh in excess of the maximum 5kg provided by most others. At 8 kg these are fine but 10 kg would have been even better - however, a minor drawback compared to their other benefits.
They have an add and weigh / tare system and seem to be extremely accurate - no wavering between numbers, and readings are consistent.
They have a backlight with large numerals so are very easy to read.
They have a wipe clean display with easily accessible, easy wipe clean, touch-sensitive buttons that are in turn under a perspex lid. This has to be lifted to press the buttons but can easily be removed if preferred, although I have not yet found any reason for doing so.
The scales can be either battery operated or plugged in to the mains for which a mains adaptor has to be purchased separately - however, the benefits of the extra small initial outlay do mean no flat batteries at crucial moments.
Best of all though for me are the following two features:
1. The reading is easily visible and not obscured when a large plate or bowl is on the weighing platform
and 2. Although the scales seem to have an auto turn off without a memory (and this is a reason I rejected so many other kitchen scales), the auto turn off period can be either extended to 5 minutes, or can be disabled. I'm happy with that!
On top of all this, these scales come with a 30 year guarantee.
I am extremely pleased with my purchase and can only give them my highest recommendation.”
“I’m resetting my eating habits and weighing everything - I’ve discovered my portions have been far to big. So these scales sit on the worktop and I use them frequently to weigh EVERYTHING. I love them. (and they’ve helped me lost 8 lbs!)
Also brilliant than they plug in, so no need to change batteries every few days.
Best scales ever!”
