Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Salter 5-Pound Microtronic Kitchen Scale, White
Customer Review: A Fragle Device!
Summary: 3 Stars
Digital kitchen scales are kind of like microwave ovens - once you experience them, you'll never be without one. And when this particular one is working, it's a wonderful thing. But I found it to be rather touchy. You must be very careful not to bang it around on your counter while using it - mine eventually went belly-up due to a drop of 8"! God forbid you should drop it on the floor.
That said, mine did last the better part of two years, which I suspect is well above the average life, and that's just not right. But if you buy one of these, I'd advise that you not expect it to last a lifetime, or spring for a sturdier model. Perhaps the bugs have been worked out by now, and the technology improved - just be forewared, this is a fragle device!

Description of Salter 5-Pound Microtronic Kitchen Scale, White
The Microtronic Kitchen Scale weighs in both pounds and kilos and measures in precise 1/8 ounce increments. This easy to read 5-pound compact scale automatically adjusts for use with most bowls or containers or can weigh directly onto the platform. It is highly resistant to staining or flavor carry over and has an add weigh feature for convenience of adding individual ingredients using the same bowl while its on the scale. The auto shut off and auto zero feature, an easy to read 0.4" LCD display, 10 year warranty make this scale ideal for dietary or general use.English manufacturer Salter understands that the best cooking requires impeccable standards in precision. A slight measurement difference between two and four ounces of minced jalapeno pepper in a recipe can mean disaster. To avoid such mishaps, Salter created this microtronic scale. With its compact size and simple design, users profit by easy storage whether on a countertop or a drawer.
The scale features a round 5-3/4-inch diameter plate upon which to place ingredients. Its careful construction maintains standards in both appearance and flavor, combating residual stains and flavors from previous use. With a handy conversion switch, ingredients may be measured in either the metric or imperial system, enabling cooks to prepare recipes from overseas without rummaging for a calculator. The scale handles quantities weighing up to 5 pounds, marked by the LCD display in 1/8-ounce increments. For the metric system mode, the scale measures with 2-gram increases with up to 2 kilograms capacity. For measurement with bowls or other containers, users need only place the empty container on the scale and press the power button to set the measurement to zero for isolated ingredient weights. The scale also features an automatic zero setting and shutdown, extending the long life of the replaceable lithium batteries. For the best care, wipe down the scale with a damp cloth or a gentle cleanser. Batteries are included with this scale. Salter offers a ten-year warranty on this product. The scale measures 6-3/4 by 7-1/2 by 1-1/2 inches. --Jessica Reuling
