Salter Timeless Mechanical Kitchen Scale – 5kg Capacity Baking Scale, 1 Litre Dishwasher Safe Bowl, Analogue Food Scale, Classic Design, Easy Read Large Dial, 22cm Height, No Batteries Needed, Black

Perfect for the kitchen

Disappointed with the scale, much smaller than the picture suggests, gives different weights on smaller thing's, the tray on top is unbalanced, and the measurements are hard to read, not happy with it. 🙁🙁

I like these they are accurate and look retro.

Very difficult to set up. Broke in the process

The media could not be loaded.  My grandmother's balance scales which I inherited only weigh up to 2lbs (1kg). I thought these scales would be useful as they are calibrated up to 11lbs (5kg). They look lovely, don't take up as much space as the old balance scales, and the sage green colour is perfect for my kitchen.Salter is a well known and trusted brand. What could possibly go wrong?Well firstly - the bowl is very wobbly. The support doesn't appear to be damaged, it just doesn't fit the bowl properly. I could go to the DIY shop and buy some non-slip pads for two of the "arms" to correct that, though I shouldn't have to.But far worse - the scales are not accurate. (See photos and video.) My 500g weight from the balance scales moves the pointer from zero to 550g. I can set the pointer to minus 25g, and my weight then registers exactly 500g. I wondered if my modern metric weight set was inaccurate, so tried my grandmother's imperial weights. 1lb registered 1lb 2oz. So it is the Salter scales which are at fault, not the weights (which were made a century apart!).Beyond 500g, the scale seems accurate - at least up to 2lbs, beyond which I cannot test it. But how am I supposed to weigh amounts between 0g and 500g? And can I trust the accuracy between 2lbs / 1kg and 11lbs / 5kg ???Such a disappointment. From this brand and at this price, I would have expected better.

Good easy to read dial when weighing, well made easy to clean, would recommend this product.

I had to return this item as it was faulty

Great scale
