Description
Great scale, best value, economically priced, and it's very easy to use. For measurement with bowls or other containers, users need only to place the empty container on the scale and press the Tare button to set the measurement at zero for isolated ingredient weights. This kitchen scale comes with a solid plastic triangular container that will not block the display, it's also great to hold & weigh small pets. It can also be used as cover for the scale when not used. The container is easy for cleaning or washing. Display in g / oz / lb & oz together, no math is necessary. Capacity: 5kg / 11lb; Graduation: 1g/0.1oz. Specification: Equipped with a high precision strain gauge sensor system. Safety material (PP for foods).

Almost great...
This would be a really nice scale except for one or two major problems.
1. It is also a timer... which is nice but not something I really need. However no matter what you do the scale function automatically returns to the timer function after 30 seconds!!... even if you are in the middle of weighing something. So when I zero out the container and start adding ingredients to get to the desired amount, I'm suddenly back to timer mode. And the only way to get back to scale mode is to press Tare and start back at zero. This now includes your container and ingredients so far so if you are trying to weigh out a precise amount of something (which is all I use this for) you have to be VERY quick.
I'm still trying to find a way around this but so far no luck. The small paragraph of included instructions are useless.
2. There is no way to turn off the scale to save the battery. I'm sure it is a long life battery but it will die much sooner than it needs to unless I take out the battery each time I finish with it.
Kind of stupid design. If these features were in the product description I would not have bought it. If I can send it back I will.
Aside from that I like the design and size etc. I can't imagine what they were thinking.
