Salter. Old English company. Maybe, but this scale is chrome plated plastic (the tray is metal) and it comes from China. Since it’s traveled some 6 thousand miles it’s no surprise the zero adjustment knob fell off (it won’t zero with the know rattling around in the box!). I was able to re-assemble and eventually to make it operational. If you read the writeup on this scale you get the idea that it is solid, metal, quality. Not so. In fairness, I must say that once assembled it did weigh accurately. I tried 1 lb, 2.5 lb. and 8.5 lb weights and all were spot on. I’ll keep it but I’m not real happy with it.

The only problem that I have is that after I use it, I always have to turn the dial back to zero. It just wont say set.

Very neat, trim and compact. The indicator does not hedge or waver. I am satisfied.

The scale is easy to use and seems to be accurate to one ounce. I tested it against several weighed items I had bought at the grocery store and the weights matched exactly. I usually use it for cooking but did use it once to see if a relatively heavy letter was more than one ounce. The scale said it was exactly one ounce and turned out to be right. It is attractive enough to sit on the counter. The weighing tray just lifts off and is easy to wash. I recommend it if you want a simple scale and don’t need accuracy to less than one ounce.

The Salter High Capacity Mechanical Kitchen Scale arrived broken was very cheap and made of plastic.
