2 out of 5 stars great except it doesn't work   March 15, 2010
Johnny Guitar (Carmichael, CA USA)
It's the right size, has a glass top, can weigh in grams or ounces , can be zero'd at the push of a button with an empty bowl on top, is simple to use...great - except one problem...it doesn't work.
The buttons are junk and the primary button has failed after 3 months. It has a 1 year warranty so I'll see if I can get it replaced although I doubt I still have the receipt. It is cheap for a reason. I gave it 2 points for having the right feature set but that doesn't matter if the product fails. Don't waste your $ on this scale. Get a better one.

Yeah, so it's pretty and the glass top is great for cleaning, but I swear this scale is possessed. The electronic nature of this scale make is fairly unreliable and it often will not turn on properly and gives far too many error messages. You would be far better off with an analog scale.


2 out of 5 stars Mine didn't weight anything over 12 oz!   January 14, 2010

I puchased this scale from Bed Bath and Beyond in November. I thought it was odd that most items I would weight were never over 12 oz. One day I bought three pounds of ground sirloin at the grocery store and wanted to divide it into three 1-lb servings and kept adding meat and it stayed at 11.9 oz. I tried to tare over and over again and pushed down on the scale but never anything reading over 12.1 oz. I can't take it back to the store without a receipt or a box (silly me for throwing them away) and when I called Taylor today, they want me to return it on my dime to their company to replace it. It's not worth the money to ship it!!! I would suggest you take it out of the box in the store and test it before you buy it, it should be able to register up to 6.6 lbs! Buyer, beware! And in regards to the prior reviews about the glass top, it is removable for washing!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent, despite reality TV connection   January 5, 2010

I purchased this scale about 6 months ago at a kitchen store. The reason that I chose this over others was simply the weight capacity and lowest price. I wish it were easy to get rid of that stupid logo.
I have tested this over and over against a smaller scale and it has been right every time. The other scale weighs in increments of tenths of a gram, and TBL to whole grams. It correctly showed the right weight even when the weight changed only .1 grams bringing it up to the next whole gram. Excellent quality for the price.

I purchased this scale about 6 months ago. Other than the annoying 60 second auto-shut off, it worked reasonably well. Two days ago a message appeared on the screen, "err". I figured the batteries went so I replaced them. Not only is the err message gone but the scale is now totally dead. What a major piece of crap. Purchase this aptly named product at your own risk!
