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

I rarely write poor reviews. Sadly, I must warn people away from Salter. I have this scale, and loved it -- until one day it displayed "Err". Changed the batteries, tried every likely form of "reset"; no luck. "Err".
I then contacted the company to find out what could be done, or what the stated "Lifetime Warranty" would do for me... No response. I contacted them again. No response. After a third time, I gave up and bought another scale.
Be wary. If you ever have a problem, the warranty is worthless. There's nobody home at Salter.

I checked with a friend who is a nutritionist when I decided to buy a kitchen scale to help us to control meal portion sizes. She advised getting something that was simple to use without a lot of bells and whistles. I also did a lot of online research before deciding this was the model best suited for us.

I like the scale, so for I have had no problems, it meets my needs.
Rating: - Microtronic Scale review
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.
