Looks similar, but not the same!, December 19, 2003

This review is from: Soehnle 66522 Futura Digital Food Scale, 4 Pound 6 Ounce Capacity (Kitchen)

While this item looks very similar to the Soehnle scale that won "America's Test Kitchen" honors, note that this scales's capacity is only 4 lbs, whereas the previous scale won partially because of its 11 lb capacity.

On the plus side, this scale is about $30 cheaper, and just as good looking. On the down side, there appears to be no direct replacement for last years 11lb model (Edit: The Soehnle 66524 is a similar design and handles 11lbs)

Best scale!, December 16, 2003

I use this scale for everything from baking to mailing and it is extremely accurate. It looks like art, works like a dream and is very easy to clean. You can turn it on, set a bowl on it and zero it out then fill to desired weight, very easy to use. Great for measuring out precise amounts of bread dough for very even sized rolls. Great for gram weight when mailing a letter or anything light weight that requires a precise weight. You will love it as much as I do, I'm sure of that!

The scale does everything you'd expect from a nice digital scale, and looks as good as the picture. The controls could not be much simpler -- there's only one button! -- and the display is exceptionally clear and easy to read, with big black numbers.

The only negative for me is that one button is actually too few. The machine tries to guess whether you mean "set zero" or "turn off" depending on when you push the button, so it can take more than one try to turn it off. And to change between grams and ounces requires turning the machine over and removing a rubber cover to get to a truly hidden switch. Simplicity is great, but they took it a bit too far.
