Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Salter 1450 Digital Nutritional Scale

Customer Review: LOVE IT! I am so glad I bought this
Summary: 5 Stars

This scale is awesome, it works right out of the box! I am so happy with it.

This product is a lifesaver for people who are on a calorie-controlled diet or who are very health conscious.

I recommend this to anyone who is dieting. You will surely reach your goals if you use this tool to keep to your daily calorie limit. It's the best method of weight loss!

Customer Review: Outstanding Scale
Summary: 5 Stars

This scale is fantastic. It is nice to be able to place an item on the scale and get all the nutritional information.

The only problem is when you want to insert an item into memory, the instructions are no where near what is needed to help you do this. Then when you call the company, the staff does not want to be bothered with assisting you with the problem. The scale is great - they just need to do a better job with the instructions.

Customer Review: Salter 1450
Summary: 4 Stars

I highly recommend this scale. I have had it for one year and use it three times a day in preparing meals for an insulin-dependent diabetic. Previously I had to use a gram scale with my computer and a printout of USDA food values. The Salter scale is more convenient as it sits right in my prep area.

I haven't yet had to replace the batteries.

I don't think there is an alternative to this scale, but it has some minor drawbacks: the LCD readout is dim, as are the ones on my Krups oven and Cuisinart coffeemaker. The phone-style touch pad is inconvenient, but often I find shortcuts (such as "fren" instead of "bread" for french bread). I printed out the mfgr's index sheet to see just where my item might be listed.) There are too many foods included that restricted diets don't tolerate ("Baby Ruth" every time I want "banana" or "bagel". I don't think any food that normally comes with a nutrition label on the wrapper needs to be included.) A few fruit items vary greatly from the USDA listing so I keep a crib sheet with my food log comparing the two, and watch the effects on my diabetic patient's blood sugar levels.

I keep the scale covered with clear plastic wrap, under the tray, to prevent spills into the key pad.

With all that, I wouldn't be without it.

Summary: 5 Stars

I have been a Type 1 diabetic for 43yrs, and I wear an insulin pump. This scale is excellent for counting carbs and calories and probably more nutritional values than you need to know. It takes out all of the guess work for preparing your meals at home. In fact, my endocrinologist is the one who recommened I get this scale, and I am very happy with it.
