A sleek stainless-steel base and glass platform make this electronic scale slim enough to slip in a drawer and elegant enough to leave out on the kitchen counter. Food can be weighed directly on the glass weighing platform, or you can use any bowl you want. The Aquatronic features a special design that weighs liquids as well as solids, in the same bowl if desired, up to 11 pounds/175 fluid ounces (5 kg/5000 ml) in precise 1/8-ounce/fluid-ounce (2-g/2-ml) increments. Like all of Salter's electronic kitchen scales, this one features a highly accurate strain-gauge weight sensing system, LCD display, lb/kg conversion switch, add-and-weigh function, low battery indicator, and auto zero function. Measuring approximately 8 by 8 by 1-1/2 inches, the Aquatronic comes with replaceable, long-life lithium batteries and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

 Numbers changed while sitting on counter March 1, 2010
Andrew David Millar
At first this scale performed well. After several months I observed the digital readout changing numbers while sitting on the counter. I would then place something on the scale and even after ten seconds the numbers began changing again. I do not trust this scale. I did replace the batteries but this change of numbers continued.
I would not buy this product again.
Love it!!! February 21, 2010

I wish I had purchased this scale a long time ago. Even my kids love using the scale. I weigh more than just food on this scale since you can weigh up to 11 lbs. It's sleek, contemporary and doesn't take up much space on the counter.

The scale is good looking and very easy to use. The only problem I had, was the battery has to be clicked in securely for it to work. Once that was done, it's worked perfectly.
 Can't go wrong with this scale January 18, 2010

It is properly priced and it has worked great for me so far. Even though it has a glass top I have found it to be very sturdy. And most of all, very accurate.
Accurate, easy and practical January 2, 2010

I've had this scale for a couple of years and it still performs perfectly every time I use it. There are several ways it can be used to enhance cooking projects. I particularly like the fact that it can be stored up on edge as I don't have much counter space. I have actually stacked stuff on it when it's turned off and sitting flat and that doesn't seem to bother it, but it seems better to store it vertically so that's what I do.
I use my own receptacle for holding whatever I'm measuring--place the bowl or whatever on the scale and push the on/zero button. Then add what you want to weigh and it will weigh only the addition. If you press the on/zero button again, it will reset to zero so you can add something else and weigh only the new addition.
Having both US and metric measurements is super if you are using a European recipe that gives quantities in grams. I don't have to worry about converting it because the scale does it for me.
One button on the right front is to turn the scale on/zero and one for off. On the left front is a button for dry ingredients and one for liquid measurements. Each will show metric to begin with but will switch to US measure when you push it again.
I got the scale to measure portion size while dieting and found that using it when cooking also helped me calculate the calories in combination dishes. I also use it to get the weight of something I'm planning to put in my convection/microwave, which calculates cooking time or defrost time based on weight. The scale has turned out to be much more useful than I expected.
There is an easily accessible battery compartment on the underside when you need to change the batteries, but so far, I haven't had to. All in all, I am very satisfied with this scale and highly recommend it.
