Product works like a charm. Very easy to use, and I highly recommend it.

Loved it while it worked. Not so much once it died, for no apparent reason.

The scale itself is decent. It’s adequately represented in the other comments here– though I would add that anyone looking for an ultra-durable scale should expect to pay a whole lot more than $50. Try looking for a professional legal-for-trade scale to see what the cost would likely be…
Their customer support is great. I lost my food code booklet and asked for a new one. After some truly horrible recent experiences with other customer support organizations (yes, Weight Watchers, I *do* mean you!) I was expecting to get the run-around or be directed to call in and order a new one at punitive pricing.
Not so– they sent me a soft copy of the manual within 5 minutes of getting my E-mail. Nicely done, Kitrics!

I had this product for a year. I loved what it was capable of and when it worked it was wonderful!
Unfortunately, it lost balance twice and it took over a week for it to find it again. It was a pain. Just after having it for a year, it completely died. Save yourself trouble and go with a different brand/scale.

While the scale seems to work well, I found that it’s flawed:
- It’s very flimsy and feels like if you dropped it, it would shatter into a million pieces.
- It came with batteries that are already half dead.
- Hitting the “Clear” button does not clear the tare, if you have one.
- The food listing is very random and odd. It has lard and candy bars, but no breakfast cereals. Some foods are misspelled. The foods are listed in no particular order.
- The instruction booklet is confusing.
If you spend a little bit of time, all of these problems can be dealt with, but I feel like for the price they shouldn’t have to be.
