I bought the Soehnle kitchen scale based on the recommmendation from Cook's magazine. I had no idea how far off the accuracy of my measuring cups were, especially when measuring flour. I bake a lot & always measure carefully, but sometimes the crumb of breads & cakes wouldn't be quite right.The Soelne scale is also beautiful, it looks like a piece of sculpture.I use it so much, that I leave it out on my countertop. I don't know how I did without it.

I bought this product to help keep track of my success in losing weight. The product is nice looking & not bulky. It turns on & off fine for me. The only concern I have - (since I like to do this) is when I weigh myself then i step off and try it again.... sometimes it fluctuates the weight within 3 lbs different. That aint gonna help me if I'm trying to see if I lost weight in the last week! I wish it was more accurate -- but I know it's pretty close each time.

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.

This product worked for exactly 1 day and stopped. Unable to restart it.
Should be removed from sale on Amazon lest it ruin their good name. I guess it is attractive to look at but should call itself a doorstop rather than a scale.

Scale is well designed and appears to to be precise, accurate and repeatable in its measurements. It is extremely easy to use and well constructed. The glass top is easy to clean. An ideal scale for easy storing away when not being used. The scale's large capacity makes it easy to use additive taring with mixing bowls.

This is a very accurate scale IF you put it on a hard & level surface. I used a spare 12 x 12 tile - works great! Very accurate. The body fat etc. is a guide, I find it ok for trends .... which is what I expected. If you want extreme accuracy, this isn't it. Buy calipers or a dunk tank! It looks great, which makes it a little nicer to step on every day. I would buy it again.

I have no idea why this scale was rated so poorly. I love it! I changed from the weight watchers scale to this, and I couldn't be happier!
