This scale fulfills the architect’s dream: beauty of design and genuine functionality.
Frank Loyd Wright would be pleased.

Not as good as I thought it would be, kinda cheapo for a 50 dollar scale.

I ordered this because I am a big fan of Good Eats and this is the same brand and style scale Alton Brown uses. When it came the multifunction button did not work at all. For the money I think you can buy a nicer and better built scale. I will say that Amazon makes returns very simple. You just print off the free return shipping label. I will buy a different scale from Amazon.

I bought this scale because Alton Brown recommended it in several of his books and on his old web site. This was back in mid 2004. It still has the original battery in it. I don’t know how people can be complaining about battery life. It turns itself of automatically after 2 minutes of idle time.
I love this scale because it is very accurate and easy to use. One button controls everything.
I have only a couple complaints:
1. The rubber cover on that button got a crack in it not long after I got it. This MAY have been due to the fact that it went through several moves after I got it.
2. I wish there was an easier way to switch from grams to ounces. It would be nice to be able to do it on the fly. You have to turn the unit off and open a rubber cover on the bottom to switch it from one mode to the other. It’s a simple little slide switch.
Since I started using it, I decided it was best to just keep it on the metric setting because it’s so much easier to do the math when dividing stuff (I’m really good at math, but it’s still a pain to the sixteenth thing all the time, why get a calculator out when you can do tenths in your head?).
The other nice thing about this scale is that it looks good enough to leave it out on the counter all the time.
Most of the time, I use this for making bread, so I don’t need the 11 pound capacity that people seem to need. When (and if) I ever need that capacity, I won’t hesitate to get that cool looking three legged model that Soehnle sells.
