Modern, easy, accurate
Sharon petchEasy to use, easy to clean but it requires an effort to make it look pointless.
YaseminWanted some scales to make cakes and bake during Covid. This one is cheap easy to use and just what I needed. Would buy again
KaraA Chrome kitchen scale with no scratchproofing? Well if you bought this for the aesthetics you're likely to be disappointed because though the shape of this thing / design is really nice and modern and attractive, it's made out of the world's most scratchable material (cheap chrome). Stainless steel would've cost more I guess.ANYWAY we bought this as a replacement for our previous set of Salter kitchen scales, and using it couldn't really be easier. It does all the usual measurement types (including fl which is really useful) and does all the usual 'add in' weighing etc. We tend to do a lot of baking where we measure straight from the mixing bowl - so you can imagine what a pottery mixing bowl's base does to the surface of a scratchable piece of chrome.Accuracy - we measured this against other scales and it's bang on, no problems with that at all. Sometimes found it a bit 'twitchy' to zero the counter and get it bang on zero (every little movement sets this thing off so use a steady hand and don't buy it your for OAP parents if they've got Parkinsons!)Overall, it's all about the looks baby. If you want a set of scales to put in your newly fitted kitchen and just look at (and you're one of the rare folk who manages to get one of these delivered without a few scratches on it already - despite ours being sealed it had one scratch on it straight out of the box) then you'll likely find this extremely good value for money.Q: How do you weigh a whale with this thing?A: Take it to the Whale Weigh Station
Peej MaybeGreat scales! No issues.
ClickeyyyI bought one of these and it arrived with a couple of surface scratches - nbd. Contacted the seller to replace for a new one. After 9 days, the seller instructed me that a refund had been issued and they didn't want me to return the item. Winner.As I was now the proud owner of a free digital scale, I decided to turn the thing on and start using. It doesn't work: if you turn it off or you let it turn off automatically, it doesn't turn on unless you remove the battery. The on/zero button is pretty clear in function, it turns the scales on, or zeroes them, except it doesn't, when you zero the scales, it switches the units and then zeroes them. So you've weighed 300g, then zeroed, then your weighing in ounces, it's easy enough to change back to grams, but it requires a few button presses instead of none. The units button has the exact same function as the on/zero button.Long story short, it's terribly designed and isn't worth it when it was free.

RieI had a Salter digital scale for years so purchased this one to replace it when it finally broke downI’ve changed the battery and now it just won’t work at allI’ve tried different batteries to no avail and now I’ve had to order a new scale
TattieA good purchase
Laura KirkwoodThis is the second scale I have bought as I could not find the first one. I like it very much. Its very easy to use and accurate. It helps you to add measurements of different kinds into one bowl. Very nice. I recommend everyone to have it at home. It's got a long years guarantee to so you don't have to worry. Thanks
harriIt stop working within one month of buying it
Amazon CustomerGood value for money, easy to use, the tare button means you can measure out portions in any container you like as long as it fits on the platform and does not obscure the display.
Joofidea in kitchen no bowl required as scales zero when you put your own bowl on and turn on
barrie elsdonThe quality isn’t quite there with these scales. This Arc model has a plastic ‘undercarriage’ making it feel and look cheap. It does weigh accurately though.There’s one thing that this model doesn’t do which the best selling Salter scale does and that’s show a minus figure. I’ve found this useful when taring or taking a quantity away.As this model is now on offer @ £7 it seems like a bargain compared to £15 for the best selling model. Given a choice again I’d buy the more expensive one.

Salter introduces its take on their classic ARC kitchen scale, presenting an elegant, stainless steel platform. Featuring add and weigh and aquatronic functions, the ARC can weigh multiple ingredients (including liquids) in one bowl at the touch of a button. Designed with an easy to read LCD display, the unit gives you fast and accurate measurements so that you can get cooking quickly and streamline the food preparation process. Designed with a hidden base, the scale edges are lifted from the surface which makes them easy and hygienic to wipe clean. They also feature a slim-line design which is simple to store and easily fits on your cookbook shelf.
Upgrade to the stainless steel ARC for the accuracy you expect from an enhanced platform.
