Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Salter Digital Scale, Glass with Silver accents
Customer Review: Nice Scale for Multiple Uses
Summary: 4 Stars
This sturdy little kitchen scale has served us well. It has reasonably high accuracy for the price, can weigh up to 11lbs+, and has a very small footprint. The batteries (two watch batteries included) last years on end without replacement. The glass surface is very tough and cleans easily. The large, flat surface allows for using tares (containers, which the scale can be reset to zero when loaded with) in measuring, also further extending the scales usefulness.
The scale also doubles as a postage scale in our household. The scale is sensitive enough to ensure small envelopes can be mailed with a single stamp and has the capacity to weigh small to medium parcels.
While at least one other reviewer has broken the glass, we found the glass to be very tough, surviving years of abuse. However, recently, a porcelain coffee cup dropped onto it from a high shelf seemingly ended it's life. The glass survived the scratch without a scratch (while the cup shattered to bits). Sadly, the strain gages seemed to have gone bad. Honestly, though, we'll replace it with the exact same model.
Customer Review: most convienent scale I ever owned
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this scale. Especially how I can put a bowl, measuring cup or whatever and on it and then hit the zero button. Then when I add ingredients I don't have to subtract the container weight. I can add successive ingredients and hit the zero button each time. The large surface area handles most containers. It is smaller and lighter than I expected and stores easily in the cupboard on it's side. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I am not sure of the accuracy for low weights. Sometimes when I am adding(or subtracting) small increments the addition will not register and I am sure I have added enough. Still, I am very pleased with this scale and wish I would have bought it a long time ago.Customer Review: Excellent tool for baking
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this scale, because I am beginning to bake, and all the books recommend measuring ingredients by weight rather than volume. They say it will give better, more consistent results. I haven't used it enough yet to tell whether that is true or not, but, this scale certainly makes it easier to prepare your ingredients for baking most anything. With the adding feature, you can put several ingredients into your mixing bowl at the same time, so that you can start mixing them. And, the metric/British capability gives you access to ALL recipes. It has an 11-pound capacity, which should be enough for most any home-based baker. I am very pleased with this scale, and will use it a lot when baking.Customer Review: amazon products and service
Summary: 5 Stars
I have ordered many things from amazon, always with excellent shipping time and product satisfaction. Recently I ordered a product and it arrived broken in the package, I notfied amazon and immediatly recieved a response. To my amazement you shipped a replacement the same day, to return the broken one I simply printed out the return shipping label from your website attached it to the original shipping container and returned it via the post office. I received the replacement item a few days later in perfect condition and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for your great selection of products and your outstanding customer service, it is unparalleled. Never has shopping been easier!!!
Thanks JD
Customer Review: Couldn't live without it!
Summary: 4 Stars
This scale is a foodies dream. We owned the same one in England but lost it on the move home. So we bought another! It takes up little space and can be stood up on its side because it is square--for storage. The ease of transition between grams and lbs / oz is really 1 touch of a button. I like the ability to zero out with an empty bowl from your kitchen on it and then measure flour, etc usng the same bowl. The batteries last quite a while. If you're in the market for a kitchen scale...look no further.
