Salter Aquatronic Glass Kitchen Scale Review
Love this scale – it looks like a champ – 10 stars for style points if that was allowed.
There is a switch on the bottom side to have it default to either pounds or kilograms when you first turn it on – common lazy people, just inspect the darn thing before you use it and decide to write bad review.
The 4 buttons are (from left to right):
1. Switch between pounds and kilograms
2. Switch between liquid measurements (fluid ounces and milliliters)
3. “On”/”Zero” (tare)
4. “Off”
As another reviewer stated, the weight elements are curiously and unfortunately in the 4 “feet,” and not the glass scale itself. Therefore, if you push on any part of the scale while it is in place, the weight measuring goes into effect.
This is not a problem for me yet as I have no need to measure multiple things in subsequence, but I can definitely see a problem for other users.
But on the whole, it is a beautiful scale, and for my use, it’s awesome.
