Having had a bit of an accident with my old Salter kitchen scales (involving falling from the top of my kitchen cupboard and subsequently breaking) I decided to get a new set.

I was very pleased with my old scales, so decided that I wanted to have Salter brand again. This set is much thinner and lighter than it's predecessor which is really great as it fits much better in my kitchen cupboard than the last set! They look very sleek and the silver disc does not stick out from the white around it which I think looks really good. It also means the scales are really easy to wipe down after use.

There are 2 buttons at the front of the scales next to the electronic display screen. One is the on/off button which also doubles up as a zero button to reset the scales to zero to weigh the next ingredient into the bowl. The other button allows you to switch between metric and imperial. There is also a function for measuring out liquids, although I have not yet tried this out yet.

The electronic screen is a good size and the numbers are very easy to read so weighing things out is very easy. The scales are quite sensitive, measuring to the nearest gram (or 1/8 oz) which is useful if you're a perfectionist when weighing out ingredients.

Overall I think these scales are great and definitely better than my older Salter scales!
