Kitchen scales (reviews and discussion)

I wonder who has the scales with Krona, please write the name of such a battery, so as not to get screwed up next time.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battery "Krona" (also 6F22 (salt), 6LR61 (alkaline), PP3, E-Block, 9V Brick Battery, AM6, 1604A, MN1604, Corundum, 522, 6AM6, CR-9V, ER9V) - battery standard size. The name comes from the brand of carbon-manganese batteries of this standard size "Krona VTs" produced in the USSR.
Rechargeable batteries 7D-0.125 of domestic production (diameter 24 mm, height 62 mm, weight 53 g, nominal capacity 125 mAh, nominal voltage 8.75 V), electrically compatible with the "Krona".

Recently, most often I personally come across 6F22.

I will keep in mind about the batteries and I am very glad that they are not in Gorenye. I have already looked after these scales for 200 UAH in one Internet shop.

Ira, how do you keep the scales? They are not hung on the wall, there is no handle or hole there. Or are they just lying on some shelf?
Today I was on the economic market. I look at the counter where, among other things, they sell scales. From what was discussed in this thread, I saw only Aurora, she did not ask the price. There are five more unknown brands. She asked: Do you have Gorene or Zelmer? The saleswoman says: How, how? From which I understood that the scales are good, since they do not know about them there.

Tanya, this scale is not wall-mounted. I keep them on a shelf in a cabinet where I have a food processor, a chopper and all that junk like Nyser-Dyser, Berner, all sorts of parchments, etc.
By the way, when I was choosing the scales, at first I was going to buy a Zelmer in stainless steel. And the seller turns them on for me, but they don't want to turn on in any way, there is a type of touch control. He says the batteries are probably old. I took another copy - and they do not turn on. And I didn't really like the fact that Zelmer's display looks like a regular calculator - black and white. So I went to another store and bought Gorene, which I have never regretted.

Oh, and I was just between these models hesitated. But Gorenie still won. Even in the picture they are prettier, and the glass surface is like a cap on my gas. stove Gorene, and the reviews are all good. Zelmer has the only handle to hang on the wall for.
So I'll order Burner tomorrow. I have already ordered a Panasonic bread maker. Should arrive by the end of the week. So I'll bake using a scale.

Today I was on the economic market. I look at the counter where, among other things, they sell scales. From what was discussed in this thread, I saw only Aurora, she did not ask the price.

Don't hurt Aurora. Four years work like a clock. I use it every day. Although I was buying it cheap, I thought it would last a year. I changed the battery a couple of times, by the way, like a crown.

No, I don't offend. I read good reviews about her here, maybe yours. It's just that when a product is cheap, it is difficult to persuade yourself to buy it, because if someone is lucky with a copy, then you think - maybe it was by chance someone was lucky. Once a year, as they say, the stick shoots. For the money I can't afford to buy a German, I choose a middle peasant, like Gorenja and Zelmer.They are a little more expensive, so they are not in demand among street vendors, as most people buy up cheaper goods, especially in the markets. And it is not profitable for merchants to buy them for sale. But among the few brands that were there, the Aurora scales were my undoubted favorite, precisely because I saw good reviews on them here. I even wanted to ask to be shown and checked with a coin, but I took myself away by force, fearing that the test would pass, I could not resist buying it, and at home they would warm up and show me a fig. I am glad that you are lucky with your copy. Let it continue to serve faithfully.

All you say is correct. But now there are more and more exceptions to the rule. Brand technique breaks down, noname works for a long time. At the time of the purchase of the Aurora, I chose not for money, but for the distance where I can get with my child in a stroller that day. By the way, the kettle for me Aurora has been working for 5-6 years, they took him to the dacha, they bought themselves the same. And in the office, Tefali and Browns flew in a year when used twice a day.
HP Panasonic began to overheat after a year.
The pan in the Panasonic MV peeled off after 1.5 years of careful but active use.
The autoignition in the Gorenje stove broke down after 2 years.
The list could go on.
All this I mean is that there are things for which you should not pay more, even if you do not count the money.
By the way, MV bought Aurora at the dacha
Enjoy the shopping

Enjoy the shopping

Yes, it would be nice, otherwise I phoned the heels of the stores, where supposedly there are scales that I need in stock. And, they say, no, they have already dismantled it for the holiday. So, perhaps, you will either have to wait for the end of the holidays, and I don't like to wait so much, or go and take Aurora, I have a market where I saw them right behind the house.

Everything, I managed to buy Gorenje KT 05 GW for 229 UAH. (about $ 28). So far, my hopes are fully justified. The coin test passed. I noticed the auto shutdown time on the stopwatch - it turned out 1 minute. 58 sec. For a total of 2 minutes. Measurement step 1 gram, There is a zeroing of the container, it is possible to measure in kg, grams, ounces, pounds, if required. They look pretty. The top is smooth, glassy. It is convenient to wipe off if it gets dirty. There is also a black version, but I took the white one, it is more practical, you cannot see the bangs.
The scale on the back says Made in PRC. I don't know what P is, but RC is apparently the Republic of Slovenia. On the box the barcode starts with 383. I looked on the Internet, for sure - Slovenia. How will they work in the future, time will tell.

Perhaps by that time, GORENJE will be on the voting list and we, numerous owners of the equipment of this respected company, will be able to vote.

Congratulations, Tanyusha. Let the scales work reliably.
And I always believed that they were collected in China, somehow I did not finish the barcode to look. After all, everyone is already accustomed to what all the Chinese are doing.
I agree that DO NOT INCLUDE THE SCALES OF THIS BRAND IN THE SURVEY IS DISCRIMINATION! Indeed, these scales deserve attention as not only beautiful, but also of high quality!

Combustion orders almost everything in China Made in PRC is: 🔗 at the penny hob from this company
Manufactured under ODM agreement at Rileosip (Zhongshan Yalesi (Rileosip) Electric Industrial Co. Ltd) in China, model S2-T https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=731.20

And I always believed that they were collected in China, somehow I did not finish the barcode to look. After all, everyone is already accustomed to what all the Chinese do.

You know, I went and looked at the box and the scales again. Some vague doubts about the manufacturer, maybe China. China is the PRC in Russian (People's Republic of China). In English, it may be PRC - Public Republic of China. And the Slovenian barcode is simply worth it, because this company is Slovenian, and they are made in China. If so, what are the cunning - everyone knows what Made in China is. We decided to write Made in PRC so that no one would guess. So it's a dark matter.
Maybe someone knows what PRC really is - China or Slovenia?

I always thought PRC was the Republic of Korea. Although I was probably wrong

And really, what is not an option - RC - Republica Corea.
In general, I liked the scales, anyway. There was already a place for them in the closet. Now culinary masterpieces will definitely be obtained.

At the beginning of the 21st century, goods made in China also received the “Made in PRC” (Made in People’s Republic of China) label.

Well, China - so let it be China. The scales perform their functions regularly and accurately, so is it worth bothering about where they were collected. Won and Sony audio equipment in the Middle Kingdom is going, and Pioneer - and the technique is super.
So we use it and don't worry too much about this.

These are the scales Vigor bought the other day, not expensive and seems to be practical, as long as they like it. Does anyone have such? I just don't like that they don't turn off, but show the time. It is so convenient of course, but I think the battery will not last long. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong and they still turn off?electronic kitchen scales

Strange, there is an auto-off function, but it doesn't seem to exist ...
And what does the instruction say?

[Arka]

Arka, yes, very strange. The fact of the matter is that the instructions say that after weighing, press the Off button. and the display will show the current time. That is, they seem to be off, but they just work instead of the clock.

In truth, I would trade them for others, if so. They probably have auto-off means disconnecting from the weighing mode and switching to the CLOCK mode. Do you need them? If you cannot completely turn off everything (read the instructions carefully), then the batteries will be replaced more often. Although, if this is not expensive for you, then it will do just that, the main thing is to show it for sure. Did you do the coin test? Here is the weight of Russian coins

Mona1 thanks for the support, but I will not change, let them work as they are, their price is 400 rubles. I'll see how it goes ... And the coins weighed everything OK. 10 kopecks = 2 g, everything is like in a pharmacy.

From now on, I am a happy owner of 2 kitchen scales - Orion and Mirta, so far only at the level of pampering is the study going on, but I like both gifts-devices.

Natasha, countrywoman, happy birthday! Let life be so good that it cannot be outweighed by two weights at once!

I have Soehnle 67080 Page Profi; maybe a little expensive, but the scale is awesome! Recommend!

[Tefal BC5020]

I came to this topic to say once again how happy I am with my scales ...

My scales are:

Tefal BC5020



I bought it on August 13, 2007, it still makes me happy !!! They never let me down !!! Exact like clock !!! T-t-t ...

For more than a year I have been keeping statistics, re-weighing the purchased product at home. The results are not encouraging. The average body kit by sellers is (in money) about 12%, sometimes up to 30%.
This is despite the fact that where they have lost a sense of proportion and are deceived by more than 10%, I try not to go next time. Now, in connection with my retirement, I feel -
in acute cases, the time has come to put trade in place.

As part of this task, I have questions.
Has anyone used an electronic balance wheel?
How comfortable is it to carry with you?
How does it maintain accuracy?
Is it resistant to accidental drops?

Thanks in advance.

PS. You probably also need to ask around on fishing sites ...

Just about, yesterday my husband bought a chicken liver - 1 kg. I outweighed the house - 861 g. I also thought that my scales might lie to Gorene. I put on them a Tetrapakov box with milk (1000 grams). On the scales - 1026 g. Well, 30 grams of packaging is empty. It seems that everything is accurate. And I always buy in this store. Already the thought was also to carry with you some kind of weight standard and ask to weigh it first. A bottle of mineral water or a carton of milk came to mind. I just don't know how it will look. This saleswoman will send me to hell. Like say I don't have to weigh your items. If you don't want to buy, don't take it. And where can a Christian go?

[Tan]

Tan, I think he will. You know how sellers don't like it if you suddenly become interested in the accuracy of weighing. And I remember, before there were check scales in stores.
So the way out is a small electronic canter, the Chinese have a lot of them (Chinese online stores), and I think we have too.

By the way, about the accuracy of the scales Gorenie.
I have a small scale with an accuracy of 0.1 g. So, I weighed dry yeast on them - weight 4.3g. Outweighed Gorene on her loved ones - weight 4 gr.
So, with the accuracy of the scales, everything is in perfect order.
I love them

With the canter, she will not just send me, but kick off and say: You go to ... China with an entim canter. Like my canter is lying, and her scales are correct. No, here you need a standard to which you will not pick on, and even better to drip on it to the store owner. So where can you find it. She won't admit it, and she won't give me his phone number, so I can complain about her. And the shop is called Chicken. It's a whole network. We have them everywhere. Maybe you have. And whoever is their owner, who knows him, maybe Akhmetov, he bought everything from us here. You can take it in another store, but this one is near the house, it is convenient. Or spit and not bother. Pretending to believe in honesty. They say the truth: The less you know, you sleep better.

I would not refuse an electronic balance, sometimes you buy a kilo of potatoes from grandmothers, and at home you outweigh-900gr. Only on sale did not see it.

I love mine too. I have a bigger animal. accuracy - up to 2 g for these couple of grams they show, I suspect less than necessary. Well, that's okay for me. Measure flour or sugar there. Here are my beauties:

A small type of yeast is pressed, so I divide a pack (100 g) with a thread into 16 visually identical blocks. 6.3 g each. In which bread does 1 such a cube go, in which 1.5 or 2 cubes. Very sharp eye.

And the small type of yeast is pressed, so I divide a pack (100 g) with a thread into 16 visually identical blocks. 6.3 g each.

How to divide it into 16 pieces with a thread?

["Something is not very good for me somehow .... Well, count it one more time!"]

Today (an hour ago) I saw three in a fishing shop. The maximum weighed weight is 10, 40 and 50 kg (I would like to drag such a fish, if not pull it out!). You hold it by a special handle, a hook for the load. So you can easily weigh the goods in the package. The measurement error for all three is 10 grams. Price from 500 to 800 rubles. The country of manufacture could not be determined, they lay without boxes.
Yandex on "electronic steelyard" gives out a devilish cloud of pages. It would be necessary to look for a forum with reviews about them now.
As for the saleswomen, their reaction to polite words like "Something is not very good for me somehow .... Well, count it one more time!" at first almost all the same. It begins with confusion. If (even before payment) the product is thrown on the steelyard, I believe it will be successful. Moreover, they remember their frequent buyers. For example, they greet me even on the street at a chance meeting.
So I bring them upaYu

I haven't seen anything here either, maybe I just didn't look special
here the Chinese

Che is dumb somehow to take Chinese meters. Once we bought my mother a Chinese blood pressure monitor to measure blood pressure. So the pressure will rise just by looking at his readings. And most importantly, for example, the upper limit jumps from 180 to 110 in a few minutes. Such electronic bullshit. My sister bought their pedometer. I was tempted by the cheapness, threw it out, bought the middle price category, not Chinese. Now he is not overjoyed. Cool toy.

I love mine too. I have a bigger animal. accuracy - up to 2 g for these couple of grams they show, I suspect less than necessary. Well, that's okay for me. Measure flour or sugar there. Here are my beauties:

And a small type of pressed yeast, so I divide a pack (100 g) with a thread into 16 visually identical blocks. 6.3 g each. In which bread does 1 such a cube go, in which 1.5 or 2 cubes. Very sharp eye.

I have a Gorenie beast just like yours and the same white one
And small ones with an accuracy of 0.1 were bought in a Chinese online store
But according to their passport, the Gorene error seems to be like 1 g, although I'm not sure

And how to divide the thread into 16 pieces?

Take a strong thread, moisten it with alcohol or vodka. unfold the pack and visually divide it in half across, then in half along. Like this:

Then each half is still in half. It turns out 16 approximately identical cubes:

True, it doesn't matter for me today with an eye gauge, I was in a hurry to take a quick picture, not everything turned out at 6.3 g. And somewhere the extreme ones were about 7 g, and in the middle - 5 g.
Then I wrap everything up again tightly, as it was, put it in a tiny bag and put it in a glass, maybe in a jar without a lid and in the coldest place in the refrigerator, but not in the freezer.

For two weeks nothing deteriorates and does not get windy. And more will stand, I think, we just spend it quickly. True, in our refrigerator where the yeast is very cold - 2-3 degrees of heat.
Dear moderators, sorry for the indentation from the topic of Libra, although the eye is also a scale to some extent.

My beast Gorenie is exactly the same as yours and the same white one
And small ones with an accuracy of 0.1 were bought in a Chinese online store
But according to the passport, they have an error like 1 g, although I'm not sure

Irisha, maybe alone, I don't remember, I just remember general recommendations for weights, not specifically according to ours that a deviation of 2 g is permissible.

[Mona1]

Mona1
Thank you

Yes, not at all, just keep in mind that not all packs of 100 g, there are 80 g each. They can not be divided into 16 pieces (5 g each comes out), but into 8 parts, 10 g each, so what weight is better for you, into as many pieces and divide.

[It is necessary that exactly you distinguished from the environment.]

You can take it in another store, but this one is near the house, it is convenient.

It is good when there is a store with a seller who does not overweight. We have such. But not everything you need, you can buy from them.

Or spit and not bother. Pretending to believe in honesty. They say the truth: The less you know, you sleep better.

I am already 62 years old. Trust my experience.
It is necessary that exactly you distinguished from the environment. They didn't look, like, like the grass.

Remember.
Nobody wants a scandal - neither you nor the seller. And here it makes sense to have a good scandal once, in order to then live in perfect harmony. Even notoriety is better than complete obscurity. They will then (somehow fearing) also begin to respect you.

And my husband, after the incident with the purchase of sweet onions for friends, specially bought an electronic canter with a calculator, a tape measure, and even there is an air thermometer. And as far as I remember, there is a very small margin of error. My husband is just obsessed with good technology, a techie damn him. Kanter is in the car now, I'll pick it up in the evening and write which one I bought. But I am very happy with it. I often outweigh the goods in front of sellers, especially in the markets.

Or close for registration, seeing through the glass door that I am approaching.

Wow, be sure to write the title. A calculator is also important to estimate how much it costs, and a tape measure will not hurt. If only he could still carry bags home from the market.

electronic canter with calculator, tape measure, and even there is an air thermometer.

Chinese, most likely.
This is their style. I once saw on sale a mains powered Chinese electric gas lighter. With a compass built into the handle. Probably to make it easier to find a socket in the kitchen ...
However, not everything Chinese is junk. The same Panasonic bread maker ...

And show that we are not Chinese now. There are also various Chinese production. For example, kneeling in a basement or in a factory. And the electric lighter with a compass is cool. This is probably not to pass by the kitchen!

Walking with a canter is what. Somehow I had the idea of ​​going to the market and shops with a household dosimeter. And then suddenly potatoes were grown near Chernobyl. But then I looked at the prices in the Internet - the cheapest - in the region of 100 bucks, and then there was an accident at Fukushima, prices soared almost one and a half times and everywhere - not available. I never bought it. By the way, when the bedroom was bought, my husband borrowed such a dosimeter from someone, they examined it in the store, everything turned out to be fine.We measured our apartment too. By the way, when you bring the dosimeter to the wall, it starts to click significantly harder. The walls are glowing. This is if the house is panel, like our walls are made of reinforced concrete. About brick - I don't know, but I heard that they are safer in this regard.

And a photo of a canter, if not difficult
By the way, Nadia, how do the sellers react to weighing? Do not use foul language

I pulled a photo from their website


LEL (maximum weighing limit) - 40 kg.
NmPV (smallest weighing limit) - 10 g.
Discreteness - 10g.
Indicator type LCD with blue backlight
Operating temperature range from -10 to +40 ° C
Automatic zero setting
Calculator, thermometer, tape measure
Target compensation function
Selecting units of measure

As for the sellers, I usually hold it in my hands right away, like get ready. So I checked it several times, even the surplus was hung up. It’s convenient there, like you’re counting with a calculator, but the hook is visible, whoever is smart immediately understands. And no longer weighs. but so far they haven’t sent any foul language!

And I remember the times when we went with such a device on the market. I was trading there just then.
As for walking with a canter, forgive me, when you buy a sweet onion as a gift for your friends, and instead of 2 kg they push you a knitting for 1200, how can you not go with a canter?
By the way, I have an apartment in a brick building! It didn't seem to click, they checked it, but for a very long time.

I looked at Nadia's link - it's good that in Ukraine, it's bad - that the prices are too high.
Here is Kanter electronic EPS-40 for 120 UAH. in that store, and here is a link to a Chinese Internet store with free postal delivery
only the price is 5.59 dollars, which is 45.30 UAH in hryvnias.
This is how Ukrainian merchants earn on Mercy

So Monochka, being afraid to buy Chinese, will still involuntarily buy ........ Chinese
