“I've properly put these scales to the test in the first week of owning them, producing 43 loaves last week from my home kitchen, and they've more than stood up to the challenge, they've excelled themselves! The platform is nice and large so is great for placing large bowls and containers on for weighing down (which has saved me a lot of extra washing up). It's also perfect for weighing out dough when dividing and is removable too, which makes washing the scales much easier. The bakers percentage function is useful; for me it comes into it's own when refreshing my sourdough starters. I keep a 125% hydration wheat starter, so as long as I add the flour first, all I need to do is press the percentage button, tare the scales, and add water until it hits 125. This is certainly easier than getting my calculator out every time I want to triple the starter. The display is nice and easy to read, and choosing the AC adapter is definitely worthwhile, batteries aren't cheap! Overall, this is an excellent scale, I wish I had invested in it earlier.”
“I just bought the most expensive SALTER scale available on Amazon before I spotted this scale on Bakerybits. I was absolutely disappointed with the Salter scale, I didn't trust it to give me accurate readings and the Tare function was so slow. After reading the reviews I HAD to have this scale, and I am so happy I got it! It may not "disappear" into my kitchen counter like the modern black sleek digital Salter did... but I am soooo in love with this scale that I am proudly displaying it. On top of it, it is giving me % readings, as well as instant readings and quick recalculations (with the Salter I was slowly pouring in water to my flour thinking I was at a weight only to realise it hadnt caught up with me and I was way over!). Anyway, trust this scale and give it top priority placement on your counter, it is truly the best I have ever had!!!!!!!!!!”

“Liked these scales immediately as they compare favourably with the many digital scales I have used before. The platform detaches for easy cleaning. The scales have an excellent range as they weigh up to 8 kg which works well for me. I bought them with the additional mains adapter as back up when faced with empty batteries. Most scales don't give you that option. In the past I had bought scales in the same price range which were of rather disappointing quality as they failed within a year of use and the free replacement did play up as well. This one looks like it is going to last. Only minor point I have to comment on is the small platform which works well with bowls but is a little too small for scaling dough. Nevertheless excellent piece of equipment.”
“After struggling with domestic scales made by pretty famous manufacturers- with readouts that vary up and down by significant amount within moments, these scales are a revelation. They have the expected tare function and a brilliant indicator to show when the weight has "settled". The 8kg is more than I'll need for the time being, but (again) the domestic scales don't give me the 4kg that I need. The best bit has to be that my daughter bought me these scales for Christmas. She knows me well!”
