You may want to throw them out of the window
By and large a very good set of scales but their infuriating habit of switching off in the middle of a weighting session can leave you fuming with rage. if you have a short fuse then these scales won't last, you will absolutely launch them across the garden. My advice is buy a set with a sensible time to auto shut off or better still get a set that you shut off i.e. not dictated my some engineering clown that has never cooked a day in their life.

Works well. As required.
Great scales.Bought for 2 reasons. Firstly to weigh some refrigerant that I was using to refill a freezer, for which it was plenty accurate to about 1g reliably. Also, display goes negative if you remove things, which is what I needed for that.And the other main use being weighing all my food as part of a diet. Managed to lose 19kg thanks to tracking how much I was eating and getting used to new portion sizes. This has been one of the most helpful things.But equally then, I've used it for baking and that's helped too. The Tare function is great for multiple measurements.

Brilliant scales!
Brilliant scales. I use them for my eBay as postal scales. Very reliable in correct weight. You can extend the length/width of the platform by placing a large tray on top of it. So don't bother wasting money on more expensive ones with a larger platform! As those are quite pricey I see. Lightweight, and multi functional as these would be just as good for kitchen scales too. Brilliant price too! Can not fault these scales. There is no 'hold' weight button that Freezes the weight number display, but as long as whatever your putting on them doesn't cover the digital number display then that isn't an issue. By extending the platform DIY style that's not an issue for me. Small and pretty compact. Don't take up much room at all. Very robust and made well. These are a must buy!

Excellent
Late in 2011, I bought the "Salter Slim Design Electronic Platform Kitchen Scale" and put in a review here. I was very positive, mainly because - like I think many other reviews here - they were the first scales of this type we'd had and it had been a revelation how much easier they are to use than traditional kitchen scales. I did comment that, despite the "gadgetey" appearance, they felt flimsy and poorly made.Well after a year, they went wrong, so I had to get a replacement. These Duronic scales were the highest rated on Amazon so, despite never having heard of "Duronic" before, chose these this time.Compared to the Salter scales they seem functionally almost identical. The display and the way they work seems indistinguishable to me, so I suspect the electronics are actually the same. However, there are several features I prefer about them:1. The weighing platform is made of glass and is separate from the control buttons, so I can wipe the surface with a damp cloth without the risk of water getting into the buttons.2. The buttons and display, being on a separate and slightly lower ledge at the front are easier to see when a large dish or plate is being weighed.I have noticed that these scales power-off more quickly than the Salter ones - sometimes before I've finished weighing things. It's not usually a problem but I can imagine rare situations where it might be.They share the irritation (for me anyway) of having two modes for measuring capacities (fluid-ounces and millilitres). This is pointless and only valid for liquids whose specific gravity is the same as water. For these, it is surely obvious to everyone that, for example, 5 fl oz of water weighs 5 oz, so there's no need or value in a separate mode that does this. Just to illustrate this imagine you're using a recipe that calls for a cup of flour; you remember that a cup is usually defined as 8 fl oz, so you set your scales to the fluid ounce setting and measure flour until it reads 8oz. However, if you check you'll find you actually have about 12 fl oz of flour. It's misleading to anyone who doesn't understand this and pointless to everyone else.Anyway don't be put off. These scales are attractive, light and convenient, work extremely well and are very cheap. If they fail after a year, I'll just buy another pair - it doesn't really matter too much.

Fantastic for the money
These scales are great! Some reviewers have commented on the 'quick' turn-off time if you leave them for too long, I suppose that depends on what your definition of 'quick' is and how you organise your cooking ingredients, but I have found a minute is long enough for me. The biggest benefit for me is the minute increments you can measure in in terms of grams, and also the fact you can measure liquids like water and milk without a measuring jug, and again in much smaller quantities, accurately. The scales are easy to wipe clean and sit neatly in the cupboard in my kitchen, although they'd look smart on the worktop if I had room to keep them out permanently. Larger bowls will over-hang the display sometimes, but I just re-position the bowl towards the back of the scales rather than centering it on the top, and it measures just as accurately - and from what I've seen most of the popular makes and models of digital scales are more or less the same size anyway. So, in essence, if you're going to pay for a set of domestic digital scales that look good and do the job well why pay more than this? I'd recommend them.
