Amazon.com Review: 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

Love it, only improvement I can think of is to have it 'turn-on' in the ounce mode.
Rating: - LOVE this scale!
I absolutely love this scale! It is so easy to use. The feature of putting a bowl on the scale before turning it on makes for true weighing of food without including the weight of the bowl. I use it every day. Can't go wrong with this one.
Rating: - defective
This product arrived defective. I spoke to the company and after attempting a fix, they told me to return it.
Can't say anymore.
Rating: - Cannot replace batteris
I've owned this scale for three years, and it funtioned well until the batteries quit. The case shows that it will open, but only if you have a triangle tipped screwdriver. I went to the Salter website to see if there was a tool available, but the website is down. According to the Google cache display, the site has been down all month. This piece of equipment is an exercise in futility, and I'm off to shop for a brand that has a working battery case.
Rating: - great! very useful product
I am a powerlifter/ bodybuilder and nutrition is equally as important as time spent in the gym to recover from training.
I bought this food scale primarily to weigh meats to know exactly how much protein I was getting out of a particular cut of meat. Whereas I had to eyeball and guess before, know I know exactly.
Of course, as a weight trainer, I am gaining weight, but I am sure someone looking to loose weight can use the scale for portion control, as well.
