Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really wanted to like this product - I mean look at it, sleek, elegant, and 5KG capacity with 1gm resolution. Unfortunately, unless you are weighing one item at a time, this scale is not usable. First, and this is more of an annoyance than a problem; Since the strain gages are between the platform and counter surface, using the tare function is tricky, as pressing the button affects the weight measurement. Takes several attempts to zero out the scale. Second, while the display does increment by 1gm increments, the resolution is +/-2gm, the salt measured for 17gm could be 15-19gm, not great for the bread recipe. The main problem, and this was the deal breaker for me, is the display time out. Placed bowl on scale, weighed flour, start to add water, and the display shuts off! I mean in the middle of measuring (not idle time), had to throw it all out. I sent it back, and ordered the My Weigh 7001DX. Update (now that I had some time with the new scale): the 7001DX is everything a scale should be. 7000g capacity with 1g resolution (with four modes lb/kg) programmable timer for both back light and shut off (including fully manual) as well as a beep Tare and Hold buttons Pushing the buttons does not affect the the measurement The display angle is adjustable for best viewing Included a bowl, a letter holder and tube holder for postage measurements 30 YEAR (LIFETIME) warranty and while not a snazzy looking as the Zenith, it is attractive, contemporary, and unobtrusive in the kitchen.
