1.) You'll love this scale

I've had this about two years now, and like it as much today as when it was new.

I like the unobstructed platform (not all scales are), and the membrane switches which are goo-proof. The display is easy to read, even for us blindos.

Weighing stuff in containers is a breeze - just put an empty container on the platform prior to power-up (which causes the scale to ignore the container's weight). Then, put your stuff in the container.

Money well spent, and just more proof that the folks at America's Test Kitchen are bang-on when they recommend something.


2.) Good for First Kitchen Scale Purchase

This was the first kitchen scale I've ever used. What a difference a scale makes in baking! After baking a batch of cookies you no longer have a sink full of dirty measuring cups and bowls. The only drawback to this scale is it isn't precise enough. It only weighs in 5 gram or 1/4 oz increments so if you need an ingredient that weighs 106 grams or 1/8 oz, the scale will only weigh 105/110 grams or 1/4 oz. Once you get into weighing ingredients you find this lack of specificity inadequate.

As far as its ability to weigh liquids, I've found I rarely use it.


3.) Nice scale, but the auto shut-off is too fast.

It's a good scale and does a fine job. The only drawback is the auto shut-off feature. It's only 1 minute!!!!! It's extremely annoying when baking/cooking with your kids or adding multiple ingredients.
