Useful helper

"This scale is so useful! Sometimes you get recipes from another part of the world that list ingredients by weight, and it's just so helpful to have one around."

Weighing Made Simple

Date:May 16, 2013
"This is a great scale, and, with only three buttons, it's very simple to use. Definitely a must-have for any cooking enthusiast - especially a good value when on sale! I purchased mine approximately a year ago, when it was on sale. I actually ended up getting a second scale the very next week, while they were still on sale, for use around the house. Both still work perfectly, and look great (well, the kitchen one still looks brand new, anyway)."

The Perfect Scale

Date:May 4, 2013
"The ONLY thing that I don't like about this scale is the "Regular Price" Canadian Tire charges for it.
I got it on sale and at the sale price it's a good deal. It's a relatively simple scale; not too many bells and whistles on it, which is why I think the sale price should really be the "Regular Price".
It doesn't take up too much of a footprint either, fairly small (8" [Length] x 6" [Width] x 1.4" [Height]). It's not heavy either; I'm guessing less than a pound. I didn't weigh it, as I'd need a separate scale for that. :)
Easy to operate right out of the box. Would definitely recommend!"

really good scale

Date:May 3, 2013
"bought this scale when it was on sale...saved the bill in case I wasn't happy with the product. it works great...weighs accurately as I compared it with another scale I have. I like the feature of putting a plate or anything on a pushing the button to get it to go back to zero. this way I can weigh a few things onto the same plate and press the reset button after each one and it will weigh the next item with the other stuff still on the plate...great feature!!"

EXCELLENT product

Date:February 15, 2013
"One of the few scales that works on regular (9V) battery rather than more expensive and difficult to find button cell batteries. Accurate, stylish, long battery life and a zero button. The perfect kitchen scale!"

Love this little scale!

Date:November 6, 2012
"Price is decent, it's very accurate, and looks great. It's slim, lightweight and slender, allowing me to discreetly store it on the top of my microwave, that only has a narrow margin of room between the upper cabinet.
Storage is a huge thing for me in my small kitchen. I just love it for all my British weight recipes.
It's keeping me organized with a good look at a great price. I highly recommend this scale!"

Nice addition to kitchen

Date:September 2, 2012
"This scale is great for keeping track of what you are eating....I bought if for a diet I started a couple of weeks ago. It definitely does the job and looks nice in the kitchen. My only complaint is that it turns itself off too quickly so you better be ready to put whatever you are weighing on within about five seconds or it turns off. Not a big deal but it did kind of irritate me. Overall, I am happy with it though."

Surprisingly Accurate

Date:August 31, 2012
"I bought this scale because it was on sale for 75% off and from time to time I do use weight measurements. I was very surprised. My husband's lab has a set of government certified weights and the scale was 100% accurate. Not what I expected! Now that I have it, I use it all of the time. I plan on buying another one when they go on sale again."

Gamble

Date:August 26, 2012
"I bought this not so long ago and didn't use it for a while since I didn't have a 9V alkaline battery at my disposal. But once I got the battery and input it into the device, it did not work. Was very disappointed. But then I went to Canadian tire, complained a bit and got an exchange. Now it works like a dream. Good product. Just kind of a gamble..."

Does exactly what it promises

Date:January 6, 2012
"I have had this for about 2 years and it has done everything I need it to. It worked right out of the box, I have not had to change the battery yet and I use it almost every day. I really like all the weighing options and I find it to be very accurate when weighing food etc."
