I just received my scales today and I'm thrilled with them! They're EXACTLY what I wanted at a great price (currently £4.99 with free next day delivery for Prime members). I was expecting to have to pay much more for some decent scales!! They're compact, very portable, sturdy considering they're small, they can hold measures up to 500g, the dial is clear and easy to read, they're easily adjustable and they're by Salter, which is a very established and reliable make. They're identical in type to the ones at home when I was growing up (also by Salter, although those were larger sized) and those lasted for decades! I notice from reading through reviews of these particular ones that some people are whining about the fact that they're small. Yes, they are but the dimensions are clearly stated in the product details on this page (12 x 6.5 x 35.5 cm), as is other information about them, and they're certainly not so small that (as per one reviewer) they're only fit for a doll's house .... unless it was a very big doll's house! People need to take the time to read details that are provided instead of complaining when they receive a product and are unhappy with it because they anticipated something different. If people want to order larger scales then order LARGER ones ~ it's not rocket science.These particular scales are fantastic for people who want sturdy, compact scales at a great price from a reliable brand. They do the job they're designed to do absolutely fine, they're easily adjustable so if the weight is slightly 'off' by an ounce or two you just adjust it to the correct weight by using the little dial and they pack away easily into the bowl to take up virtually no room at all in cupboards or, if on the move, in a bag, say. I've recently got back into doing some baking and these scales are great for measuring out ingredients for cookies, cheesecakes, brownies, etc, which is exactly what I wanted them for! Care would be needed though in measuring out something like flour so as not to get it going all over the sides of the bowl - measuring out a cupful at a time. say, would be ideal so as to control how much goes into the bowl. Also, it should go without saying (but some people totally lack any commonsense whatsoever!) that when cleaning them only the bowl should be washed up and immersed in water. If any food gets onto the actual scales themselves then they can just be wiped over with a sponge or cloth with a blob of dishwashing liquid or soap on to clean them. Scales should NEVER be immersed in water.These scales are definitely one of the best purchases I've made for a fiver and are sure to last for a long time with good care. I'm so happy with them!UPDATE: I've just read some more of the reviews for these scales and want to say that it is VERY unfair that so many reviewers have given these scales a low star rating (often only 1 or 2 stars) simply due to the fact that they were too stupid / lazy to actually read the product details properly and, as a result, were disappointed / shocked at their compact size. They then have the nerve to give low ratings simply based on the compact size of the scales! Pathetic. As I've said above, if people want larger scales then MOVE ON and search for bigger ones on here instead of ordering compact ones where the dimensions and the weight they can hold are clearly stated in the product details. Marking products down simply because the buyer could not be bothered to actually read product details properly and subsequently are 'disappointed' when they receive a product that they anticipated would be different is ludicrous. Those people clearly have no commonsense or sense of fairness.

Ideal kitchen accessory. Easy to use & takes up little space. Excellent value & easy clean.

This is very small but it's perfect for our 2 person household. We're not bakers as such, but this is ideal for measuring for recipes. And takes up little room when stored.

After 4 years of daily use, this still works. It is accurate to about 5 grams or so. It is unstable and will fall over when you try to weigh anything liquid or messy. The front is made of perspex which will get smeared and gradually become opaque over time making it impossible to read the values, this can be cleaned somewhat with 3000 grit wet and dry. The scale is also printed on paper which will get damaged if the scales get any moisture inside. The 15-year warranty is worthless since this will be unreadable long before it breaks. A glass front and slightly wider profile would make this so much better.

Good quality seem accurate decent size dish easy to clean

These scales are excellent..........much easier to use and see than digital ones. They are also compact as the scales fit into the square dish that comes with it.

Nice scales but disappointing size didn’t expect them to be so small .
