I love these and they make an attractive addition to my kitchen

So attractive and always on hand - no more batteries to buy. Love them. Easy to use.

Nice product, bowl would benefit from been a little deeper

Attractive-looking scales, larger than I had realised, but they function well

Nice colour and stylish and easy to use

My grandmother's balance scales which I inherited only weigh up to 2lbs (1kg). I thought these scales would be useful as they are calibrated up to 11lbs (5kg). They look lovely, don't take up as much space as the old balance scales, and the sage green colour is perfect for my kitchen. Salter is a well known and trusted brand. What could possibly go wrong? Well firstly - the bowl is very wobbly. The support doesn't appear to be damaged, it just doesn't fit the bowl properly. I could go to the DIY shop and buy some non-slip pads for two of the "arms" to correct that, though I shouldn't have to. But far worse - the scales are not accurate. (See photos and video.) My 500g weight from the balance scales moves the pointer from zero to 550g. I can set the pointer to minus 25g, and my weight then registers exactly 500g. I wondered if my modern metric weight set was inaccurate, so tried my grandmother's imperial weights. 1lb registered 1lb 2oz. So it is the Salter scales which are at fault, not the weights (which were made a century apart!). Beyond 500g, the scale seems accurate - at least up to 2lbs, beyond which I cannot test it. But how am I supposed to weigh amounts between 0g and 500g? And can I trust the accuracy between 2lbs / 1kg and 11lbs / 5kg ??? Such a disappointment. From this brand and at this price, I would have expected better.

Very good nice looking and well made

Merci tres bien Je recommande

Disappointed to find the needle won’t set to zero, and I cannot get it to move. Poor quality.

Bellissima bilancia molto curata nei dettagli e con un piatto contenitore molto capiente..stupenda

Eine wirklich tolle Waage. Muss sich zwar erst ein bisschen daran gewöhnen, dass die Aufteilung der Zahlen etwas anders ist aber das geht nach ein paar Tagen mühelos. Ich muss sie nicht ständig wieder neu einstellen und sie verbraucht keine Batterien. Die Schale lässt sich prima in der Geschirrspülmaschine säubern.

Really pleased with this Salter mechanical scale. The large dial is very easy to read, the bowl is a nice size and dishwasher safe, and the whole unit feels sturdy on the counter. I mainly use it for baking and the measurements have been consistently accurate. Simple, reliable and no batteries needed. great value!
