Looks can be deceiving I guess. Unfortunately the accuracy is pretty variable, as readings will differ depending on where an item is placed on the plate. The buttons are going to fail really quickly too, based on how easily they get gunked up and can't be cleaned
JackVery flimsy for such a price....not for use in the kitchen as you can not get the slightest bit of water on it...once you do its gone...not practical
Munz3 months in to having them and the top weighing plate has collapsed on one side, so ultimately they can't weigh anything anymore. Such a shame as I have the larger version of these and love them. But the quality of the small one has failed me. Can't see any way of fixing them either.
emilyscales are faulty, and wish to return them please help thank you.as they are still under guarantee
David GReturned, and then found an awesome Joseph Joseph alternative..
MR A.I had this for around 3 months and it has broken already.I would think for the price it would be abit more durable.It is very accurate and I liked everything about it however it is quite fragile and not durable.
Robert TurnerI used the scale for measuring coffee. The Scale was not as accurate as stated. I found it to be 0.5g -1g out depending on where you placed things. There was also a bit to much plastic for my liking.I suppose for £20 it’s not bad. It’s easy to clean. It’s portable.
Paul B.Decent scales but I’ve paid for the name - that’s clear for me to see although I’m not sure why I did?!They work fine - they look pretty cool too.But a slightly more thorough look reveals some imperfect quality/assembly standards which shouldn’t be there on a product demanding a premium price tag.
Hughesy A J SI have the larger model of these scales and absolutely love them, the best I've ever used. When I was after a second smaller set I saw these and thought I'd found the perfect match. I was wrong. The build quality is appaling. The weighing plate was crooked and gave different readings by several grammes with only slight changes in position. The feel of the buttons and general quality overall is "budget" at best. This is a real shame as the big brother of these scales is, as I've said, amazing. Very disappointing, I've returned the scales and bought the larger modfel for a good price elsewhere.
Tim MMuch worse than much cheaper alternatives, buttons broke, it was replaced, and then the buttons broke again.
