Duronic Digital Kitchen Scales Electronic Kitchen Scale with Bowl Measuring Weighing Scale Baking Scale for Cooking Baking Postal Pet Food Measurement Baker Weight Scale (KS5000SRSS)

Sometimes technology seems like magic - and so it is with these sleek, unobtrusive scales. A sturdy glass plate with no moving parts that measures weight? Yes indeed, and sensitive enough to give a reading when blowing onto the surface. These scales have worked faultlessly for a couple of weeks now - I use them a few times each day, both for straightforward measurements and using the "tare" function, which allows one to cancel out the weight of a container. The controls are very responsive, requiring the lightest touch to change function or, holding a littler longer, to turn off - and being a smooth sheet of glass, the surface is very easy to keep clean. Highly recommended. *** Edit to add: If anyone's curious about the battery life - mine expired (indicating "Lo") a couple of days ago, giving a life of around 2.5 years when used a couple of times a day, every day, since purchase.

I was a little sceptical about how well these scales were going to work, the touch sense buttons being a concern of mine. I thought perhaps it wouldn't be as responsive as i liked, or consistent enough, but actually these are a great set of scales. The lack of any 3D buttons means that the surface is easily cleaned and i have found no problems with sensitivity or accuracy. The ability to turn the scales on/off is also a very useful one. It does automatically turn itself off after a period of inactivity so as not to waste the battery which is great and nothing i haven't experienced before. However the on/off feature is new to me and is certainly useful for when you know you're finished with the scales and don't want to waste the battery. It seems like an obvious thing to say, but it is a useful feature. The scales seem to be sturdily built too, i've not been entirely gentle with them and i've had them for a bit under a year now, but i trust that they will last well.

Poor the bowl is ok well made but the unit itself is very flimsy constantly turning off the off button and unit are to small and it’s the same button for both I would go for something better

This is a great Kitchen accessory and looks fantastic next to a wooden chopping board or counter. The item arrived very quickly and safely with all parts included. THe scales are very accurate for basic cooking and the LED display is incredibly clear and easy to understand. Would highly recommend!

I was looking for a cheap kitchen scale for my student accommodation and I came across this one, which seemed cheap enough and had decent reviews. Now, don't expect great quality, but it does it's job pretty well for the money. The scale itself doesn't look very expensive, mine has some dust particles in between the plastic casing and the actual display, but I'm not too bothered. It's really lightweight and as other users have commented, seems a bit flimsy. Didn't come with any set of instructions, so I had to figure it out on my own. It did include batteries, which was a plus. The weight displayed seems accurate, so it fulfills it's purpose. However, it has a tendency to turn itself on if you just move it around, which can be quite bothersome. Also, I have not figured out how to turn the TARE function on, I mean how to reset it to 0 while it has other items on. If you just turn the scale on with a bowl already on it, it will show 0. However, if you place the bowl after it's been turned on, it will just show the bowl's weight. I haven't figured a way to get it to 0 without turning the scale off and on again, so if anyone can shed some light it would be welcome. Other than that, I think for its price it's a good product. It comes nowhere near my older Tefal electronic scale, which is a lot sturdier, more reliable and good quality overall, but we're not talking of the same price range. I would definitely recommend buying it if you're looking for something cheap, it offers good value for the money. I've had it for 3 months, so far it's been working pretty neat.

I have had these scales for around 2 weeks now, and I am thrilled with them. As others before me have said, very lightweight (even knowing so I was still surprised to feel how light it is!) I find them to be attractive scales, my partner always saying 'these look really good!' when I get the out in the Kitchen. They are sensitive, and appear to weigh accurately. I have no problems with the TARE function, just the swipe of a finger and 3,2,1, the scale has zero'd itself. Excellent. I was also very pleased with their ability to convert between g, oz, fl, and ml. Only issues are I fear it may not last long, but this is probably due to it being so lightweight, rather than any actual fault! A bit fiddly to clean, as the touch buttons turn on the scales as you do so. Also they turn off if the weight does not change for several seconds... not different to most other scales, but I am usually multitasking around the kitchen when using the scales so this has disappointed me somewhat. Other than them very minor issues, these are the perfect scales for a small-time cook/baker; I would recommend them strongly and would definitely buy again - assuming they last as long as they hopefully will.

Easy to use, lightweight, very good for the money

My scales are 13 months old and have developed a fault where by the weight wont stabilise and keeps on dropping by 1gm every few seconds. I have contacted Duronic a few times and they have ignored all attempts to honour their 2 year warranty, their website even states and I quote "If you did not buy your product directly from us, please refer your faulty items to the seller." I have also contacted Amazon who have clearly stated that after 12 months the warranty lies with Duronic. If I could buy again I would buy another make. Another negative on these scales is the zero feature which isn't great as the buttons are touch sensitive and and any slight pressure applied knocks out the true value. Allot of times I had to turn the scales on/off instead of zeroing. Overall look at another make of scales and avoid these even though they are cheap.
