Taylor 6.6 Pound Digital Kitchen Scale with Glass Platform, Silver

Has everything you need for fine measuring- up to 10 pounds. Simple calibration and easy to read. You can't go wrong with this.

Not as happy with it as with the previous model - now to change the battery, you need to unscrew a bolt at the back. WHY?

I had (apparently) the previous model of this that I purchased about three years ago, and unfortunately, my wife forgot to remove the scale from on top of our toaster oven when she used it one morning, and the entire bottom melted and warped, however, it actually worked perfectly fine, until the battery finally died last week. I was able to remove the battery, but no battery would go back in because of how warped the bottom was.So I ended up trying a higher priced (higher end?) Taylor scale, and that one was completely flat, the entire unit, so it was hard to pinpoint where things were actually being weight. Meaning, I weight cherry tomatoes, beans, a lot of small foods, and on that higher end model, it wasn't accurately reading it. I could add a few beans on while reading in grams, nothing would happen, and I would add one bean at a time to test it, and all of a sudden it would read 8 grams, for example. That's not good enough for me, so I returned it and purchased a Mainstays one. I liked it, and it seemed accurate, but you would not remove the glass top for cleaning, so I looked on the internet to find one similar to what I had, and I found this one.I returned the Mainstays and this just come in today. I assume I originally had an earlier model, because first thing I noticed is that there was a little screw on the batter compartment. My previous one did now have that. Also, for a minute, I was disappointed because I was not able to remove the glass top for cleaning. My old one, it just lifted off, and that was that. It took me a bit, but I found that you have to actually unscrew this one from the base. There was absolutely no indication of having to unscrew the glass top in the instruction manual.I love that you can UNSCREW the top for cleaning, and just like my previous model just like this one, it is incredibly accurate. I am very happy with the purchase.

Exactly what I was looking for! Arrived on expected date

This is the second time I've purchased this exact scale. The first one last nearly 8 years before finally dying. I researched around for a different one, but settled on this again as it's simple to use, easy to clean, inexpensive, and accurate. It also looks nice in the kitchen. It's got gram and ounce weights and a tare function. It also has auto-off. I love it for keeping me on track with calories/portion sizes, but my favorite part is that it makes baking so simple. Weighing out ingredients gives you a more accurate end result, but the best part is that it allows you to wash fewer dishes because you can measure directly into your work bowl instead of dirtying measuring cups and spoons.
