Salter MAX view Digital Kitchen Scales - Electronic Food Scale, Ultra Slim Design, Accurate Weighing Home Cooking + Baking, Metric Gram + Imperial, Liquids ml/fl oz, Easy to Read LCD - Black

I bought this to keep track of the weight of my new born, because it's graduated in 1g divisions, and weights up to 6kg.4 months have passed since I've bought it, and I have weighted my son once or twice a week (using a tummy tub, after bathing him)The good:It's accurate, and consistently gives the same weight (I frequently weight clean diapers just to test it, and every time it gives me 19g or 20g)The large display is very easy to read (had no problems reading it in strong light, like some other reviewer reported)The timer is useful, if you don't have any in the kitchen, and the sound is loud and long enough to be heardThe bad:This scratches easily, and the black color reveals the scratches even moreWhen you subtract weight after resetting (tare), it doesn't show negative weight, which would be usefulThe touch buttons sometimes are a bit unresponsive. Longer presses seem to work.I'm happy with the purchase, but will give it 4 stars, mostly because of the touch buttons unresponsiveness and the absence of negative weights. The scratches don't bother me enough to knock another star, and this is a scale after all: accuracy is the most important thing.If you find that yours isn't working properly, try changing the batteries and using it on a flat surface. If that doesn't solve, consider it defective and exchange it for another one.

Easy to use and has lasted well.

This scale is easy to use and clear. This purchase was a replacement for one of the same type which failed after a couple of year's use so a lower rating for reliability. However we were prepared to give it anothe rtry having found it to be good when functioning.

Asda had two lots of Salter scales when I needed to buy a set. I opted for the more expensive one, and was very disappointed with them when I used them. Flimsy, wobbly and very cheap. I bought these as a gift for someone else. They are much more sturdy, better made, nicer looking and of a much higher build quality. I'll be buying myself a set when they next come down in price.

Very pleased with purchase. Nearly chose a smaller scale but pleased I went for the larger one as any jug, plate etc can be placed on it giving an accurate reading. Really easy to work and read without having to put my reading glasses on. Have had it for approx. one year and have not had to change the batteries, but I don't use it that often.

Spent a long time researching kitchen scales for my wife.Would have prefered to avoid Salter, as we are not happy with our bathroom scales.Our criteria were:More than 5Kg max range.Large display.Add & weigh. Having now used these, I am pleased to report that they fit the bill perfectly.Certainly our example appears to be both accurate, & consistant, in that you can weigh an item several times & it records the same weight each time.

Good sensitivity, although sometimes get's confused when initialised. Otherwise, it's great – wipeable and slim with a simple interface.

Have had these scales before they were excellent then and the new salter max view scales are excellent now. Can't fault them. (The previous scales did not break or go faulty but were destroyed in fire).
