Amazon.com Review:
Perfect for use at home or on trips, this mechanical diet scale from Salter is lightweight, stores compactly with a snap-on lid inside its own weighing container, and is absolutely easy to use. The scale measures items weighing up to 16 ounces (500 g) in precise 1/4-ounce (5 g) increments, making it ideal for dietary or baby needs.

Made of durable plastic that wipes clean, the scale features a 2-3/4-inch round dial and a small platform that snugly weds the underside of the weighing container. After the container is positioned in place, simply turn the knob until the dial needle registers zero. Add and weigh food as needed, resetting to zero after each ingredient if desired. If acidic or strongly colored foods such as oranges, curries, and tomatoes are to be weighed, it’s a good idea to line the container with plastic wrap first. The container is dishwasher-safe, but should not be used in a microwave. The scale itself measures 3 by 2-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches, while the container (and thus the storage size) measures 4-3/4 by 3-3/4 by 3 inches. A clear plastic lid snaps on to keep the scale free from moisture and dust. Made in China, the scale is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Customer Rating: - Works for casual use
This is a good scale for those who need to weigh without scientific accuracy. If you want to measure within a given ounce, it works perfectly.

Customer Rating: - This is best for bread and cake making
This product is not only inexpensive, it is fulfilling almost all of my kitchen need of a scale. I bought one for myself 3-4 years ago, and it is still working for me beautifully. I just bought another one for my mom last month, and hopefully she will use it and love it as much as I did.

Customer Rating: - Great weight loss support scale!
I purchased this to measure portion sizes as I'm trying to lose weight. It is very simple and easy to use right out of the box. I only had to rotate the dial a little ways to zero it. I like that the top container can be easily removed to clean. This scale is small enough to store easily as well. I had a few doubts at first, but I'm glad I went ahead and purchased it.

Customer Rating: - Worth it for the price
I just needed a simple scale for occasional kitchen measures. As for its accuracy, I really don't know but it seems to be sufficient for my needs. Heck, for $5 I don't need critical accuracy; this one seems close enough. It is a handy unit, not taking up much space and it stores nice and compact in the box it came in. My only negative comment is that the tray is not very big so some things are not easily weighed on it. Many people might find it worthwhile to spend a little bit more to get one that has a larger tray. Being the cheapskate that I am and not really needing a big tray, this one works fine for me.
