Salter 1150 BKDR Digital Kitchen Scales, Stylish Glass Design, Cooking Scale for Home/Kitchen, Measures Liquids & Fluids, Metric/Imperial, Add & Weigh Function, Red Easy Read Display, Black

I am very happy with this. I usually prefer mechanical scales but need something space-saving. My old mechanical scales were small and falling apart and a pain to store in a cupboard. This is nice and slim - a bit smaller than I though, but that's good! It's perfectly big enough. I tested it with my old mechanical scales and they weighed the same, for the same items - so it seems accurate. I got this item after much thinking and reading. It seems not all digital scales are the same - even if they look the same. My choice was limited as I needed something I could see read easily without wearing two pairs of glasses or having to switch a light on. This is perfect for that - the numbers show up clearly and are easy to read. It is simple to use and I hope it lasts a long time! If it becomes faulty within the next 14 years and 11 months though, hopefully Salter will replace it! One thing I was aware of is - if you like to see both grammes and ounces at the same time (as you can on a mechanical scale) then this is a different way of working. You can choose grammes or ounces but you can't see them side by side. I don't think it's an issue - but it was something I was aware of. I have some recipes with a mixture of both ounces and grammes. But with this scale it would be quick enough to switch the mode from one to the other. I am looking forward to weighing our hamster on them! He is an old hamster now and needs his weight keeping an eye on when supplementing his food. These will be easier - with a suitable shaped bowl, zeroed.

Superb scales. A vast improvement over ones I used previously. Elegant, simple, compact, accurate. Easy to keep clean glass top, nowhere for liquids or powder to get in. Easy to switch the scales on or tare with wet or sticky hands just by tapping the front button using the handle of a knife or spoon I'm holding. Holds the tare weight for 3 minutes while the container is off the scales which is great for add-and-weigh while chopping, etc. The lit display is easy to read in poor light. Stable on self-levelling rubber feet. I use a pair of 900mAh AAA rechargeable batteries which last 6 weeks using the scales at every mealtime and in between! A spare set kept in a drawer can be swapped in an instant. The display is potentially difficult to see with a large plate on top, but I either put a bowl or small plate underneath a big plate to raise it, or just look from the side. 15 year guarantee too from a well established brand. Have been using for 4 months. Would thoroughly recommend.

these are OK but the buttons on the front are badly positioned IMHO. I often knock and change the measurements or type or even sometimes knows on the tare function ... sometimes midway through weighing things I like that I can weight out milliliters and not have to use a jug I like that is has a TARE option so I can just keep adding from zero The display can be awkward to read unless you are looking at it directly

Excellent digital scale for the kitchen with a very clear display A must have for every kitchen or cook

This is the second time of buying scales as someone broke my first scale . Just one complaint the batteries wrre unusable as they were both rusty and l had to buy new ones.

Update - One month on and the scales are still working perfectly. After numerous uses my batteries are still going strong, unlike my last scales that used a watch battery which drained every couple of weeks or less if the scales were used. Another good advantage that these scales have is that they are so easy to keep clean. These are a brilliant set of scales. They are acrurate and well calibrated. I love the way they stay on as I add more to a bowl etc. so I can accurately determine the final weight. The scales match my worktops so they blend in well and they are much larger than my last set. The best thing I like is the fact that the scales take regular batteries so one can use rechargeable ones instead of constantl;y having to search for those flat watch batteries that many other scales use. I recommend this produst as I have used it many times now and it is impressive both in looks and in functionality. Disclaimer - I did "not" receive this item for free in order to give a fair (that's a laugh) and honest (never seen a truthful paid for review yet) review.

Product is already faulty. Won’t zero off, keeps changing weight without anything on it. Would like a replacement or refund

No major complaints so far (6+ months in, weekly use) - does the job well, is accurate, it looks good, the glass top is smart and a hygenic choice, the whole thing is reasonaby sturdy, it has proper buttons, not the touch-type that are irritatingly hit-and-miss, it takes "proper" AAA batteries, not the expensive, harder to find cells, and the red self-illuminated display looks very retro-futuristically cool against the black of the glass top. Just about the only complaint I have is the pointless addition of extra measuring units of VOLUME, which is quite stupid, and incorrect and inconvenient (since you have more settings to cycle through); the reason it's stupid and poinless and incorrect is because "ml" is precisely equivalent to the grams on this scale, but you clearly cannot measure a VOLUME going by WEIGHT unless you know its DENSITY - a set volume of various liquids/fluids will have different masses according to their respective density (just like every other matter on this planet) - if you don't already know this, it's back to secondary school for you. Water DOES weigh (approximately) its ml volume in grams, but then, knowing this, you can just use the gram scale and don't need this stupid, technically incorrect and wholly unnecessary addition!

Looks nice and handles nice. Sadly adding grams don't show per gram.

It’s a great product
