Amazon.com Review: Compact and lightweight, the diet scale from Salter is easily transferred from cabinet storage to countertop use, and from home to a vacation home so that diabetic or weight-loss diets need not be interrupted. Because the scale is mechanical, no batteries are required. A stainless-steel bowl sits atop the mechanism and weighs any food item up to 16 ounces (500 g). The large, easy-to-read white dial shows a black indicator needle and markings in 1/4-ounce (5-g) increments.
Salter, renowned for its accurate as well as stylish digital and mechanical kitchen and bathroom scales, covers the diet scale with a 10-year warranty against defects. The stainless-steel bowl is dishwasher-safe, and the chrome-and-stainless case may be wiped clean. The scale measures 4-3/4 by 4-3/4 by 5-1/2 inches. --Ann Bieri

This scale is very accurate, and it looks good on my windowsill. It keeps me mindful of portion control while trying to loose weight.
Rating: - VERY SATISFIED
This scale is so easy to use; don't have to worry about batteries. I do not like clutter on my countertops and think less is better. However, I do keep the scale in the corner and it looks attractive (not cheap looking at all). I really am pleased with the quality. For a diet, it is an excellent scale.
