" ... The display screen is a bit small and hard to read when in shadow, otherwise its a brilliant little asset to the kitchen. ... "
" ... As far as I can tell from peering at them there may have been small drops of water that have gotten into the display and killed the scales - and if kitchen scales can’t cope with a bit of fluid from being wiped with a damp cloth then there’s a design flaw. ... "
" ... Additionallly, the setting display is very small, it is very hard to see what the weight type is, when there is a bowl on it it's quit hard to see the weight. ... "

" ... My only complaint is that it's somewhat small, and larger objects obscure the screen during use. ... "
