Best Tanita Kitchen Scales

Why did I wait so long! – I have been battling on with the old style scale forever. Then I noticed the contestants on Masterchef seemingly adding ingredients to a bowl willy… Read more

nilly. I then realised they were using digital scales.

I was fortunate enough to have enough Flybuys points to be able to redeem this scale.

The scale is small 19 cm x 17 cm (approximately), light and easy to use. It can give weights in imperial or metric. I bake bread each week and it is so easy now to add the ingredients and zero then keep adding and zeroing.

I used to avoid recipes which did not give cup and spoon measurements or just convert them myself as weighing out small amounts of grams was so hard on the old type of scale. Not any more!

This product does what it is supposed to do, it weighs food for me in the kitchen. It is small, lightwight and easy to store. For the most part, it has been reliable. There was a time shortly after I got it that it stopped working and would only show an error message. I contacted Tanita, they had me send the item to them, and returned it fixed within a couple of weeks with no cost to me. They were great to deal with and I have not had any problems with the scales since. This impressed me, as normally when an item like this breaks, it is tossed and you're expected to buy a new one.

Obviously, the fact that they did have a problem with them that needed to be fixed is the only issue I have. However, that was sorted out to my satisfaction.
