I 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.

MargeI 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
TattieIt stop working within one month of buying it
Amazon CustomerThe 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.

Not for me a bit cheap looking but then it was cheap so silly me!
time shock addictThis digital scale has a nice brushed aluminium surface a clear LCD display and two black plastic buttons (On/Reset and Unit selection). Unit selection is grammes, ounces, millilitres and fluid ounces (volume units are an odd thing to include on a weight scale; I assume they are on the assumption that the volume you are weighing has the density of water at room temp. which accounts for the measurement being near enough the same as the gramme weight), and the scales are accurate, when compared to my others.The indented display and the raised buttons are an obvious trap for food and liquid in the kitchen and a smooth, touch button, console would have been better, but nothing that a wipe down with a damp cloth won't fix: they work well and look good.
Kevin RocheI thought this looked the cutest looking kitchen scale I'd ever seen, but, try as I might, I just could not get mine to work. It either showed 8888 or EE. I checked the instructions and neither of these appeared, so I've no idea what was wrong. A total failure. Be warned.
The Old Grey Witch's TestThis is a smart-looking scale but quite what qualifies it for “Pro” in the description is beyond me:• It has little dirt traps around the display, around the buttons and where the stainless steel meets the plastic edges.• It only weighs up to 3 kgs, where many go to 5 kgs and some to 15kgs (useful for weighing turkeys, parcels…)• It doesn’t have a “pause” function (to let you weigh a bulky item that covers the display, then hold the weight when you remove the item, so you can read the display).The dirt traps will catch things like flour which will be difficult to clean out. You may prefer a scale with a single sheet of glass across the top.As for the “pause” function, you may not need it, in which case ignore that point.On the positive side, the controls work well and let you switch between grams, ounces, millilitres and fluid ounces. You don’t really need fluid measures, of course, since 1 ml of most liquids such as water weighs 1 g. It has a tare function (‘add & weigh’ ) – just press the on/off button. It’s quick to power on and quick to settle on a weight. Accuracy seems good, assessed against loose goods I weighed in the supermarket.Dimensions are about 175 x 175 x 25 mm, weight a little under 400g. A single CR2032 battery is pre-installed.If you particularly like the appearance of this scale, you’re likely to be happy with it. Me, I’d spend a little more on something like the Terraillon My Cook, to get a glass top, 15 kgs, and “pause”, but it’s quite a lot bulkier and heavier, so won’t suit everyone.
