Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a baker by trade and I purchased this scale to weigh my products so they would be uniform; which is important in my line of work. I really liked that I could use an adapter and avoid running through batteries. I also liked the weight range on it as I could weigh something as small as my rolled cookies and as large as the postal packages I send to my customers. Like many others (check out the 1 star reviews), the scale worked fine for less than 2 months and then it wouldn't turn on anymore. I placed brand new batteries in it to see if it was the adapter or the scale. Unfortunately, it was the scale. This was very disappointing considering all of the positive reviews. I was unable to reach the manufacturer for a possible solution. Amazon was kind enough to issue me a refund, so there is nothing truly lost here. But if you are looking for a reliable kitchen scale, then I suggest looking elsewhere as this one is not built to last.
