Kitchen scales (reviews and discussion)

I didn't quite understand the question.
I wanted to vote, but my scales are missing. I have Ikeevskie, called Ordning. I think many people are like that too.

BooBoo, are they comfortable? is everything you need? I already found a picture, I also want it and the price is nice and the design is super ...

Convenient and accurate. There is really one drawback, after 20 seconds of inactivity they turn off. But I understand that many scales have this problem. I have already adapted and do not suffer.

Well, as I get to Ikea, I'll buy it ... thanks ...

Yesterday I looked at the Trony scales in the store. The weight of a 5 ruble coin showed 25g! And how do they write here the real weight is 5-6 grams. So much for accuracy!

Pogremushka, yesterday I specially checked the accuracy of my Trony scales - my 5 ruble coin weighs 7 grams. And the wedding ring - 3 grams (weighed it on several scales in the store to check). So I don't know where 25 grams came from. I consider an error of 1-2 grams to be insignificant - when I just bought a bread maker, I used scales that showed +/- 50 grams. I always had to look after the kolobok because of this.

[nеssy]

nеssy, I looked at the cheapest tronies. Maybe the more expensive models paid more attention to accuracy. But, honestly, they showed 25 grams. I myself was surprised that this could be, all the same, not mechanical.
And I ordered myself a Beurer DS-81 those with calorie counting. I often count them on a piece of paper, I use calorie tables. So I think this function will be useful to me. I checked them for accuracy in the store. The weight of 5 rubles is 6-7 grams (according to the Bank of Russia, by the way, 6.45 grams), the weight of 1 ruble coin is 3 grams (according to the Bank's data, 3.25 grams). Exact. There is taring, auto shutdown, an error of 1 gram, take up to 5 kg, a loop for hanging. We are waiting for delivery.

[gorenje]

Hello everyone :) And for some reason the brand gorenje the KT 05 NE model was bypassed and not included in the survey ... We bought it together with HP (which I barely suffered in the store) ...
So about the scales:
- a wonderful thing :) and very useful
- digital display
- removable plastic container
- automatic shutdown
- maximum weight 5 kg.
- measurement in kg or in pounds
- measurement interval 1 gr.
- error 2 gr. (but if you click on the bowl - they show it correctly :) - checked)
- lithium battery 2 x CR 2032

the weight of the bowl is 124-125 g (there is zeroing and taring, but suddenly it turns off, it's easy to count :))

It can be weighed both in the bowl and on the platform.
Bowl graduated by ml.

First, I bought the Author on the market, for some reason, a big inaccuracy. I changed it to others, without a difference, if only multifunctional, accurate and without glitches. It turned out to be unknown Chinese Belson, using 5 months, no complaints. Now I don't want Avrora. And cheap and unknown firms are often of better quality than famous ones! Take a closer look at them!

Usually, if I need something and it is from Tefal or Panasonic, then I take it almost without thinking.

However, having run along this line, I doubted about Tefal. I went to the store, tortured the seller and three models of Tefalev scales. Indeed, they seemed to me a little braking, and for the price they were very unjustifiably overpriced. In short, there was a choice - what to take so that the price was acceptable, and the quality corresponded to the price, and the brand was reliable (I have such a fad, I never take second-tier equipment, and this has never let me down), and in terms of size smaller (our kitchenette has become cramped).After a long search and at leisure, I bought a Soehnle Page maryunya through the online store: it is stored in the closet on its side like a small thin notebook, it has flawlessly passed all my accuracy tests + -1 g, the limit is up to 5 kg, nothing superfluous, there is a drop of the container. At the moment, I'm happy as an elephant, a very convenient and practical device, a pure German for $ 50 with delivery. In general, I recommend it.

Shl. At the same time I ordered today the bathroom scales of this company Soehnle Pacific, with memory, control of the ratio of fat / weight / height / sex / age and other bells and whistles. After purchasing the stove, as has been mentioned here many times, this is also an extremely necessary thing in the household.

My Beurer DS-81 scale has arrived. How great it is without any measuring containers! Libra is great! Very comfortable, compact and smart. They turn off after 90 seconds of inactivity, there really is no auto-memorization of the last value. Exact. Step 1 gram. I am very pleased.

Oh, and I have a Beurer too !!! This is the only thing that firmly entered my life right after the purchase. I don't even know how I lived without these scales before! So harmoniously blended and the convenience is amazing!

The scales were already at home.
Old Soviet railroad switches, 5 kg. with an aluminum cup.
It was quite accurate to measure a pound of flour on them.
But after buying a bread maker, the problem arose to measure 50 or 100 grams.
In principle, it could be on the turnouts, but my wife has long wanted digital ...
And I decided to buy digital ones.
I looked at all these scales for a long time, in general I decided to take subj.
Quite normal scales in appearance and execution.
But what a brake they are.
The touch buttons, of course, are good because nothing will flow between the buttons and the body and there are no moving parts.
But in order to turn on the scale, you must hold the power button pressed with your finger for 2 seconds.
Then for another two or five seconds (did not detect) the scales test themselves - nothing happens.
And only then the scales are ready for use.
And the tara button reacts to pressing at the same speed.
Fortunately, measurement is faster.
No, I understand that there is nowhere to rush in the kitchen, but I'm so used to the fact that the device responds to pressing buttons instantly that the process of waiting for two or three seconds somehow ... causes shock. :-)
In general, a good scale.
Power supply - two LR03 (AAA) batteries

And I would advise using proven recipes. Then it will be with the scales. And it will be sickening to remember cups and by eye.

I have two scales: Tefal, the one with ml, and Terraillon. Previously, it had never occurred to me to check them. And now, for the sake of interest, I took out both scales and various measuring containers. And what do you think? Scales, like twin brothers, show everything the same, tube-in-tube, and all measuring containers have a scatter both among themselves and with weights - up to 20g (including a glass for a bread machine)! Just do not think that I do not know how to calibrate, after all, there are 2 higher educations. This is how Elena is, as always, right

I have a Bosch MKW 0120 - MAX 5 kg. step - 1 g, put the bucket immediately on the scales, very convenient

My tefal scales after a year of work began to glitch soooo ...
Here, I choose new ones. The choice between Beurer and Soehnle Page. are there without auto-shutdown?

I have TEFAL BC 4002. Electronic with a removable bowl. max weight - 4 kg.
I had no choice, since they were presented to me. But, I was lucky to choose the scales for my husband, because he gave them to me. I am fully his choice. I am happy with the scales, without them as without hands.

I also have such a scale. I am very satisfied. Firstly, the bowl is very comfortable, and secondly, the design is super. The possibility of sequential weighing of several ingredients in the bowl, 100% electronic technology Sensitive Computer, automatic reset of tare weight, measurement of the volume of liquid - what else does a modern housewife need

Girls, why do you need a bowl? What are you doing with her?

What are we doing? I put flour or sugar there. I like the scales. My scales Tefal have a special depression for the bowl. You can, of course, put the bucket on the scales and put everything there. But why, if there is a bowl. By the way, it can be used as a container for anything. I even beat eggs in it for a biscuit.

I have never weighed in a bowl, but I regularly beat the dough for a biscuit in it, use it as a lid. It is very convenient, it is transparent, and fits perfectly into the mold in which I bake buns and pies. I put the product on a proofer before baking, covered it with a scale bowl. I can clearly see how the dough fits. When the product is ready, the bowl is already a lid for the dish on which the pastries are located, etc.
In general, the bottom line is that I use the bowl as I like, but not for weighing products.

Together with HP, I immediately purchased the Vitesse VS-601 Diana scales.
Body and bowl material - stainless steel.
The volume of the bowl is 2 liters. Weighing limit - 5 kg. Measurement accuracy - 1 g.
There is an overload indicator, timer, temperature sensor, battery charge indication. Very satisfied

P.S. The accuracy of the scales was checked with a coin - a silver fifty dollar - exactly 10 g.

Yesterday I bought a Tefal BC 3001 scale for 1200 rubles. in the MediaMarket. More precisely, exchanged for a spoiled waffle iron. I wanted to take Polaris, but he was not there. There were Tefal, a pair of Bauerer, and a half dozen multi-colored Sauhnle. The chances that I wrote the last names correctly are, but not enough.

Start checking with Tefal, having prepared in advance a brand new five-ruble coin. I put down a coin, the scales showed 6 grams. Then she put down her cell phone, then the keys, took off her cell phone, put down her husband's cell phone, took off hers, added the car keys, took off her husband's cell phone ... about half a dozen such variations and only one coin remained on the scales. The scales showed 7 grams. I thought about it. My husband looked at me, at the scales, then again at me ... In his left hand he took the scales, in his right - by the scruff of my neck and dragged me to the cash register. Silently ...
I could not check the rest of the models ...

[Iriska]

Iriska, for the fact that this is faster and you do not need to wash the excess later.
qween, and the bowl is really a handy thing, only it should be transparent.

[Boo Boo]

Boo Boo , the bowl from my scales is transparent and large (for 5 kg of products). Now a new use was found for her - she prepared dough for yeast pancakes, using a microwave, according to a recipe Freken Bock... And if not for this bowl, I don't even know what I would have cooked.

I chose Saturn yesterday. Removable stainless steel plate.
When buying, the scales were checked for accuracy with coins. Thanks to the author for the method. It worked with a bang !!!
For residents of Ukraine, information is taken from the website of the National Bank:
1 kopeck - 1.5 g
2 kopecks - 1.8 g
5 kopecks - 4.3 g
10 kopecks - 1.7 g
25 kopecks - 2.9 g
50 kopecks - 4.2 g
UAH 1 - 7.1 g

On Saturday, a battery ran out in the scales. Krona, there is no such thing in the nearest market - how did I bake a cupcake ... Disaster! There was a decent recipe "for no scales" - 200 grams of sour cream (jar), 50 grams of butter (1/4 pack) - we have a lot, but there are scales - I counted. And that's how I measured these 130 and 35 grams ?!

On Saturday, a battery ran out in the scales. Krona, there is no such thing in the nearest market - how did I bake a cupcake ... Disaster!

For the future, in order to avoid such problems, I recommend to put a 6F22 ("Krona") battery instead of a regular NiCd or NiMH battery. Together with the charger, this pleasure will cost 300 rubles. In this case, you just need to recharge it.

These scales help me to be accurate in recipes when they need to be voiced. I immediately weigh in a bucket from a bread machine, weigh everything, flour, salt, sugar, water. But, to be honest, most often now I lay the products, as they say, by eye, the main thing is to imagine what kind of bread you want to bake and proportions. But for beginners, I recommend that you start with weights, so avoid mistakes and teach the proportions of your eyes.

Scales Zelmer 34Z050 (Poland) were purchased yesterday.Verified by the "coin method" - thanks to the author!

Accuracy - excellent, reaction - instant, shutdown manually or automatically after 2 minutes, it is possible to hang it on the wall if unnecessary ...

I bought these:



Nice design (you can hang it on the wall if you want, it will look good), clock, timer up to 99 minutes, they work perfectly and for sure ... but there is one "but". After 30 seconds of inactivity (although the instructions say that after 60), they automatically switch to watch mode and, accordingly, "forget" the tare weight

It seems that our Chinese friends believe that the main function of a kitchen scale is to show the time.

Looks like Bread Pete, we have the same chips in the scales.
(My answer is No. 22)
The problem is the same.
They are in a hurry to show the time, damn it.
My recipe is to constantly "disturb" them, not to let them be out of work for 30 seconds in a row.
But bright minds suggested another option -
answer number 100.

But bright minds suggested another option -
answer number 100.

Alas, this recipe does not work on my scales. They switch back to the timer after the same 30 seconds.

Why don't these [bad word] Chinese designers provide for the transition between the scales-clock-timer modes without dropping the container. Or at least the choice of a timeout. Let's say a minute, three or five ...

Just an opinion: please tell me why the Chinese designers should provide for this, if their scales are already purchased by customers. Any money that seems to be saved when buying a cheaper product always has a real potential problem, which we personally observe here. And thank God it's just a scale ...
A superficial review of models and proposals for weights leaves the impression that now, for some reason, all and sundry have decided that making a scale that is digestible in quality is a trifling matter for a Chinese artel hired in the hinterland. It is encouraging that, according to the vote, the majority of members of the forum are using models of expensive proven brands. I wonder if the crisis will change this ratio? To find out, we need to expand the voting list to "Nevex" and the hedgehog with them (forgive me Uncle Sam and Bread Pete) ...

Uncle Sam will forgive everyone if the kind girl Anastasia adds all the scales mentioned in this thread to the voting list.
And "Nevex" and my "Melissa" ...

Well, let's say I chose the scales not according to the Brand's brand, and not according to the principle "to make it cheaper," but simply from the poor assortment that was present in our village at the time of purchase. If we had the vaunted phillips or sönle here, perhaps I would take them ... but they weren't. There was a tefal, which I did not even look at, having read here how it slows down (and outwardly it is not very good), there were a couple of burer models (one of which with a fancy calorie calculator, IMHO nafik is not needed even once). And most importantly, everyone, absolutely all scales have the same timeout. Some have more, others have less, but they have it. And novex, although it is China, is not a "artel from the Chinese hinterland." Here many have bread machines of this company, and I did not notice any complaints about them.

By the way, I have a lot of Panasonic equipment at home, I respect this company. Today I bought a multicooker (this is a joke about the crisis). So if there were a kitchen scale from Panas, I would buy without hesitation

My scale is not on the voting list either - it's polaris PKS 0512DG. This company met in discussions, but I have a smaller one, with a glass stand, accurate to 1 g, very compact, stand on the table and do not interfere at all, I use it constantly. while happy ...........

[Scales Tefal BC 5045 HO proved to be the worst. There can be no question of any declared "high accuracy" of measurements. In addition, they are inconvenient to use and poorly made. Despite the fact that this is the most expensive test sample!]

I came across on the Internet tests of the Russian Institute of Consumer Testing (RIPI). It's a pity that it's late, Tefal has already bought it.
Electronic kitchen scales were tested.
I quote.
Test participants:

1. TANITA TNT KD-400 (China)
2. POLARIS PKS 0512DG (USA)
3. BEURER DS 81 (Germany)
4. EKS 8226 (3 kg) (China)
5.EKS 8220 (5 kg) (China)
6. Terraillon Crystal (France)
7. Tefal BC 5045 HO (France)

Test conclusions:

*

Only four test samples meet the requirements of GOST according to proven indicators: Tanita TNT KD-400, Polaris PKS 0512DG, EKS 8226 (3 kg) and Terraillon Crystal.
*

Models Tanita, Polaris and Beurer became "excellent" in tests, although they also have their drawbacks.
*

Scales Polaris PKS 0512DG are recognized as the best in terms of price / quality ratio - accurate, fast, easy to use.
*

The Tanita TNT KD-400 steel folding scales are accurate and easy to use, but their instruction has caused a lot of criticism.
*

The multi-functional Beurer DS 81 power monitoring model is easy to use and comes with excellent instructions. It is a pity that at the maximum weight, its error went slightly beyond the permissible limits.
*

The most accurate was the EKS 8226 (3 kg). True, it is less convenient to use and works slower than its "unstable" and not so accurate 5-kg brother EKS 8220.
*

The Terraillon Crystal scale is not very user-friendly. They can be measured only in the center of the platform.
*

Scales Tefal BC 5045 HO proved to be the worst. There can be no question of any declared "high accuracy" of measurements. In addition, they are inconvenient to use and poorly made. Despite the fact that this is the most expensive test sample!

Your scale is the best.

and today I bought Soehnle Page 66100



inexpensive ... exactly .... and a minimum of space in the kitchen.

I recently bought a BEURER scale. Until this year Tefal used ... the difference is palpable! I'm very happy with the new ones! By the way, how much does a bucket of HP Panasonic 255 weigh?

the bucket weighs 721 g

I have a BEURER scale

And I did not guess that you can weigh right in the bucket! I pour everything out of the bowl!

My weights are not on the list - I have Redmond. I bought 3 months ago, in general I'm happy:
without bowl
up to 5 kg
division 1 g
zeroing tare
additionally - thermometer and conversion to various units.
I don't like it - quick shutdown - I don't always have time to measure everything that I load into the bread maker.

And I did not guess that you can weigh right in the bucket! I pour everything out of the bowl!

mish, and if you did find a vibrating sieve in the Season, then you can almost automate the process. I put the bucket on the scales, a vibrating sieve in it, zero everything, then add the right amount of flour and turn on the sieve! Very comfortably.

I ordered it. I look forward to and with a sinking spirit POLARIS PKS 0512DG.
Pleases everything about them:
Automatic bowl weight reset
Disconnect manually or automatically
Maximum weight: 5 kg
Graduation price: 1g
LCD display
Maximum weight exceeded indication
Battery operation indication
What I really liked - shutdown manually or automatically, that is, the scales itself

Interesting. I googled the model name and got a little different information on these weights:

...

Taro compensation no

Sequential weighing no

...

Automatic shutdown yes

...

I have been using "Terraillon" scales for six months, and I am satisfied with them. My opinion: no matter what brand of scales, if only weighed correctly, right.

Interesting. I googled the model name and got a little different information on these weights:

Actually, they will bring it today. There is little to wait. So I'll check with the courier and everything will be clear. These are my first scales, I cook exactly according to recipes - little happens or something strange turns out) but by eye everything turns out wonderful. Stubbornness prompted me to buy scales and check what was the matter) I prepared a trifle, tomorrow I will rattle with a courier with a strict check))

Hello. After reading post 198, I was so inspired by the scale number 2. POLARIS PKS 0512DG (USA) that rushed to order. Still, in order to calm my conscience, I decided to find more information about them and also found that they did not have a container dump or a hanging function. I wanted to warn you right away, but I couldn't register. Yesterday I ordered scales BEURER KS 65. The price of scales is 1700r, made in Germany. They brought it today. In the presence of all the necessary functions, but something else struck me. I assumed that I would have to place somewhere in the kitchen "something" the size of A4) Although there were dimensions on the seller's website, apparently I did not attach any importance to these figures) And the scales turned out to be the size of a thin notebook 13x21x2.5. Such small ones are just tenderness)
Of course, first of all, the scales underwent our forum coin test) 5-ruble coins weigh 6-7 g., 2-ruble 5 g each.
I wish you all good luck and every prosperity

Of course, first of all, the scales underwent our forum coin test)

I suggest another test. A bucket from Panas 254 together with a spatula on my scales pulls 714 grams.

I checked small weights with branded weights from laboratory scales with a total weight of up to 40 g - everything coincided.

Do you invite everyone who bought the scales to come and visit you to weigh your bucket?

Well, you and I should have the same bucket, and even a good half of the forum.

oops ... I didn't pay attention to hair color right away (just kidding! I ask you not to be offended!)

Yes? is 254 the same as 255?
Well ... the guests are canceled. Color ... and what color? aaaaaaa .... hinting at blondeness?)) What's that ..) I just now realized that the "spatula" is what the dough is kneaded with) I first imagined your bucket and some kind of spatula put there. .. well, something like for a cake) Yeaaaaa: :) Your assumption turns out to have a basis ...)
