I own a substantial number of Rösle kitchen utensils, and I’ve been extremely satisfied with them. Friends who try stuff like my garlic press or potato peeler tend to realize how big the difference really is between quality equipment and the ikea stuff they have at home. This, in addition to the prospect of hanging it on a rail, sold me on the rösle scale.
The problem is, however, that in my opinion this is not a real rösle product. First of all: the surface is NOT stainless steel, it’s plastic. It looks ok, but the robust quality feeling you usually get from rösle products is totally absent, this just feels…cheap. Light, fragile and cheap. In addition to this, the scale does not have physical buttons. The buttons around the screen are touch sensitive, which means poor responsiveness and a slow interface (for me, anyway).
From my experience the accuracy is ok. However, the reset function that doesn’t always work (I’ve started just swiching the scale off and on again to reset it) and it turns itself off way to quickly (it has blacked out more than once while I was still adding flour).
Rösle, my advice for you is this: While I’m sure your profit margin is through the roof on this one, beware that selling such a poor product will probably hurt the Rösle brand in the long run. If you don’t know how to do scales and electronic devices properly, leave it to those who do and concentrate on your already wonderful stainless steel utensils.
