Looks good, takes up next to no room, can use for both metric & imperial (& jump between if you want), can zero it (put your bowl on the scales, press zero, measure out first item, press zero, measure out second item … you get the idea), battery lasts for ages, easy to wipe clean … I think it’s great!

A brilliant addition to my kitchen. I’ve had other scales but this is the best by far. I wanted a scale that would let me weigh large quantities of fruit for jam etc, as well as daily use for everyday cooking. This is the one! It is so easy to use, and very accurate. Just put your bowl, pan or whatever on the scale, reset the display and it reads in either metric or imperial quickly and easily. It is a neat design, takes up no space in storage and looks smart enough to leave out on the worktop ready for action. I love it, and would buy it as a gift with no hesitation.

These scales have a small footprint and are very low in profile with a clean stainless steel finish. I leave them on the worktop as they are unobtrusive. They have performed faultlessly since I bought them. I particularly like the zeroing feature: if you want to put 600 gms of flour in a breadmaker pan you put the pan on the scales and hit the on button. The scales power up with a zero reading, you then add your 600 gms of flour. Then say you need to add 10 gms of powdered milk, you just hit the on button again and it resets to zero…simple and convenient.

All scales are more accurate in the middle of their range.

If you want to weigh small quantities, put something on the scale that weighs about half the scale (e.g. when set to maximum 2kg, put on a litre of water = 1kg) then zero it. This will make the scales more accurate for the next thing you want to measure.

(…)I came across someone selling the Salter 1004 Electronic Kitchen Scale and I’ve never looked back!

They are very neat in size and smart to look at. If, for example, you weigh an apple in ounces, then decide you want to know what that is in grams, you can find out at the touch of a button.

Maybe I’m impressed at the novelty of being able to swap and change between the two, but they’re accurate and easy to use. Dieters could find them useful I would think, as the smallest imperial unit they weigh in is an eighth of an ounce.
