Product Description: With the latest technological advances, this digital Aquatronic scale allows you to measure ingredients directly onto the platform or using a bowl or container of your choice. A simple press of a button lets you measure either liquid or dry ingredients. The slim design features a glass platform that is entirely hygienic and resistant to staining. A polished, stainless base completes its good looks. Sensitive to 1/8 of an ounce, it has a capacity of 11 pounds. Also offers zero function. Gives readings in U.S. or metric measurements.
Amazon.com Review: A sleek stainless-steel base and glass platform make this electronic scale slim enough to slip in a drawer and elegant enough to leave out on the kitchen counter. Food can be weighed directly on the glass weighing platform, or you can use any bowl you want. The Aquatronic features a special design that weighs liquids as well as solids, in the same bowl if desired, up to 11 pounds/175 fluid ounces (5 kg/5000 ml) in precise 1/8-ounce/fluid-ounce (2-g/2-ml) increments.
Like all of Salter's electronic kitchen scales, this one features a highly accurate strain-gauge weight sensing system, LCD display, lb/kg conversion switch, add-and-weigh function, low battery indicator, and auto zero function. Measuring approximately 8 by 8 by 1-1/2 inches, the Aquatronic comes with replaceable, long-life lithium batteries and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Great for dry ingredients, but why the hype about liquid?
I've been having excellent results weighing dry ingredients. My pie crust is the best it's ever been with the exact ratios of flour to shortening that I can get by weighing them. Portion control for my dieting is so much more easy with the nice big glass plate that I can set my dishes on before loading them up. I haven't had the same problems as others with the design and zeroing, though anyone walking through the kitchen while I'm using the scale will change the reading...
I don't understand the fuss about the liquid weighing feature, though, using the fl. oz/ml function. Unless you're ... Read More
Rating: - Every cook needs one
This is a "must have" for any cook. No more guessing on how much to put in the recipe. Being able to set a bowl or plate on the scale and having it start at zero makes it so easy to measure.
Rating: - Love it!
I have not found any problems with this scale. It is my first so I had preconceived ideas, I thought it would have a bigger surface area, but have found that it works good the way it is. I have used this for everything from baking recipes to mailing letters. I would recommend this to anyone loking for a kitchen scale.
Rating: - It looks pretty, but...
I bought this scale and have since returned it. As other reviewers have pointed out, the zero/tare button is on the weighted part of the scale itself, making it impossible to weigh several items together. I also found the unit poorly constructed (the feet weren't perfectly level, so it always wobbled a little), and overly sensitive to slight movements. For this price, there are much better scales available.
Rating: - Excellent Scale
Needed something to replace the spring type scale we brought from Germany.
This one fit the bill perfectly. You can set the default starting measure scale to Grams or ozs with a slid switch on the bottom. It is very sensitive but will also take plenty of weight. The zero features are great and you can measure anything, liquid or solid. Just zero the scale with the measuring device, cup, glass or bucket in place and add the item to be measured to it. Spot on.
Looks good too. Not sure how long the batteries will last, need to uses it and see but they are very easy to get at if ... Read More
