Advantages: Easy to use, superb design and easy to store away. Disadvantages: Display panel is a little dark.
This is a stylish compact electronic scale designed for use in kitchens where it can weigh food ingredients of up to 5 kg. I actually bought it to weigh postage items and it works fine for this.
I really like the look and design of this Salterscale. The scale consists of a circular stainless steel platform set in a shiny black plastic surround (The image shows a white one). I guess the purpose of the steel disc is for weighing wet food directly without a container. The whole unit measures 16x18cm and stands about 2 cm high. It is quite heavy at roughly 800g. The scale rests firmly secure to the kitchen table top on account of 6 small rubber feet that stop it from sliding over smooth surfaces. Its simple shape makes it easy to store and it takes up very little room. However, the scale looks so good and stylish I don?t want to put it ...
These are a plain white set of electronic scales bought from ASDA for £10, which considering they have a 15 year guarantee seems to me to be pretty good value.
they are pretty thin, less than an inch and a half thick, the scales wiegh around 2lb (there is no techie info with them) and can weigh up to 23 stone (not that I need that) and can weigh in stones and lb's (and ounces), lb's only or KG. All of which show on an electronic display. To switch between display modes is simply a black plastic switch on the underside.
The operation of these scales is a little different to other scales I have used, where instead of just stepping on, one has to 'tap' the scales first as vibration activates them, wait 3 seconds then step on, once the weight is displayed the display remains for 15 seconds.
There is a very helpful instruction sheet ...

Advantages: looks nice in your bathroom Disadvantages: needs calibrating regularly
I, like most of us, have experienced the feeling of dread that comes with weighing yourself after the post xmas blowout. I decided that i would join an online dieting club to try to lose the xmas excess (as will as the pre xmas stuff!). I have bought myself a brand new set of Salterscales in the vain hope that a new set will bring me luck this year!
I bought the scales from Homebase - a home improvements store with branches nationwide- for £9.99 which is quite reasonable as the Salter brand is reknowned in the weighing world as being one of the most accurate.
These are mechanical scales so i thought that maybe they would not be as accurate as electronic ones,but finances dictated that these were all i could afford at the time. Salter do a wide range of mechanical and electronic scales to suit every budget and these were the 2nd ...
