Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Salter Digital Scale, Glass with Silver accents
Customer Review: Great Scale, but it broke
Summary: 3 Stars
The glass didn't break like some other folks mentioned, but the crescent-shaped front section (with the read out and the buttons) came loose and just broke off. Too bad, because otherwise, it's great - accurate and consistent.
It was past 30 days, so I couldn't return it to Amazon. But once I finally found the corporate site (www.salterhousewares.com), I was able to get in touch with them, they were incredibly nice and quick, and they are sending a replacement scale. Hopefully this one won't break.
Customer Review: Returned!
Summary: 1 Stars
Ordered this scale with high hopes after reading positive reviews here on Amazon and elsewehere on the web about Salter's reputation for accuracy Not to mention that I liked the look of the scale. Unfortunately, the scale was DOA! Hit On/Zero button and would just default to all dashes ------, tried adding weight, removing weight and nothing happened. Battery reset and still the same result, time to send this back. I am not pleased to say the least. =(Customer Review: Could be better...
Summary: 3 Stars
Although it is fairly attractive, it doesn't work all that well. It occasionally spits out random numbers and sometimes doesn't work at all. When it is working it is pretty nice besides the relatively large resolution that isn't terribly accurate. It also uses expensive lithium batteries.
If you're looking for larger measurements this would be fine, but is definitely not suitable for small measurements (anything under 30 grams or so)
Customer Review: Great except for small weights
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this stove for serious French baking as well as general cooking. After nearly 7 months, it has stood up well. However, when a recipe calls for a small amount (e.g., 5 gm [1/6th ounce] of salt or some herb), it's not very useful. Doesn't make much difference if you are adding the 5 gm to a larger weight or starting from scratch. For small quantities, I have to use my tiny, portable Polder scale. That one does beautifully with small weights.Customer Review: Great Scale - Excellent design
Summary: 5 Stars
This scale has met all of our expectations. Its zero-set ability allows me to zero out a container, put in the ingredients, and get a direct reading of the ingredients. We've started using it for a postal scale - it gives readings in 1/8 oz. increments. It also will weigh in metric units if you have a need for those units.
It is a beautiful scale as well, and I'm happy to show it in our kitchen.
