Perfect scales. Not too large, look great on my Kitchen worktop. Love the colour perfect for weighing out ingredients. Delighted with my purchase. Salter is an excellent make and I highly recommend these timeless mechanical kitchen scales.

Nice product, bowl would benefit from been a little deeper

Lovely looking scales.

simple to use, easy to clean. well known reliable maker. For a cook and baker who mainly still uses well used reliable cook books, need scales showing lbs and ozs. Perfect!

My grandmother's balance scales which I inherited only weigh up to 2lbs (1kg). I thought these scales would be useful as they are calibrated up to 11lbs (5kg). They look lovely, don't take up as much space as the old balance scales, and the sage green colour is perfect for my kitchen. Salter is a well known and trusted brand. What could possibly go wrong? Well firstly - the bowl is very wobbly. The support doesn't appear to be damaged, it just doesn't fit the bowl properly. I could go to the DIY shop and buy some non-slip pads for two of the "arms" to correct that, though I shouldn't have to. But far worse - the scales are not accurate. (See photos and video.) My 500g weight from the balance scales moves the pointer from zero to 550g. I can set the pointer to minus 25g, and my weight then registers exactly 500g. I wondered if my modern metric weight set was inaccurate, so tried my grandmother's imperial weights. 1lb registered 1lb 2oz. So it is the Salter scales which are at fault, not the weights (which were made a century apart!). Beyond 500g, the scale seems accurate - at least up to 2lbs, beyond which I cannot test it. But how am I supposed to weigh amounts between 0g and 500g? And can I trust the accuracy between 2lbs / 1kg and 11lbs / 5kg ??? Such a disappointment. From this brand and at this price, I would have expected better.

These scales are very smart and are easy to adjust. The metal pan is a very useful shape, as it prevents spills. The scales are quite small, therefore, not taking up lots of room in the kitchen. I love the subtle green. Colour. The dial is easy to read and they wipe clean without much effort.

Nice scales easy to read seem to be accurate appear to be decent quality and bang on trend
