Amazon.com Review: Complementing kitchens with stainless steel appliances, this simple yet modern scale is so cleanly designed that the entire top surface is the weighing platform. Measuring 7-1/2 inches square by 1 inch in height, the slim scale slips neatly into a drawer or cupboard or even stores vertically—but it’s attractive enough to leave out on the counter. Food and other items can be weighed in a bowl or directly on the stainless-steel platform, which hygienically resists staining and flavor carry-over between weighings. The add-and-weigh function conveniently allows different ingredients to be added one after the other into the same bowl by pushing the on button in-between each ingredient. Measurements read digitally in precise 1/8-ounce increments for the first 5 pounds, then in 1/4-ounce increments up to 11 pounds. When switched to metric, the scale weighs in 2-gram increments up to 2 kilograms, then 5-gram increments up to 5 kilograms. Like all of Salter’s electronic kitchen scales, this one features a high precision strain-gauge weight sensing system, low battery indicator, and auto zero function. Salter includes two long-life lithium batteries and covers the scale with a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - not accurate
I liked the style and ease of use of this scale but it was inaccurate - it showed 4 gms over true weight -- not accurate enough for me and it also seemed to be inconsistent at times. I returned it and purchased a Chefmate stainless steel kitchen scale at Target for $39.99 which I love. It has all the same features - weighs up to 11 lbs and measures in increments of 1 g/.1 oz/1 ml. It also has the tare feature. It is has been very consistent and is more accurate.
Rating: - Great
I had purchased this item many years ago. When new batteries would not revive it, I wanted the same scale because it had been excellent. When I received this one, I was initially pleased, however after several days it stopped working. When I inserted NEW batteries, it was fine.
Seems strange that a new product was shipped with old or defective batteries.
Rating: - Cheap
I purchased a $25 Escali scale that had been rated fairly high on Amazon, but I found that it looked pretty cheap when I received it. I decided I wanted something that would look better in my kitchen, so I exchanged it and paid twice the price for this Salter, which seemed like it might be a good fit given the reviews and pictures.
The Salter does look a little better, but not by a lot. It uses a similar cheap plastic for its base. The metal measuring surface is a thin layer of sheet metal that does a lot to hide the plastic and improve the overall look of the device, but on my ... Read More

This is a nice Just Works product-- you put batteries in it, and it Just Works. The square shape fits neatly into a cabinet (on edge) to minimize storage space while maximizing access.
Make sure that it is sitting on its little feet on a flat surface, and you will get excellent results.
Rating: - Stainless-Steel Digital Kitchen Scale
The Salter 11 Pound Square Stainless-Steel Digital Kitchen Scale is
beautifully designed. It is very compact and can be easily stored in
a small kitchen. It is also easy to use and accurate.
