Soehnle Page Evolution Digital Scale, Black

I have a 10+ year old digital scale. It still works. Its limitation: inaccurate, more so when small quantities need to be added to a larger mass. Past about 2 lbs (~1 kg), it would increase or decrease in 5 gram intervals. Usually that is sufficient, but in some situations that would not suffice. For example:- adding 3 or 6 grams of salt in a bread recipe (too much salt isn't healthy and it also affects the rise / yeast)- adding 1 to 10 gram quantities of aromatic spices, natural vanilla, etc (too little or too much of these things prevents the right flavor and aroma)- preparing master batches of those exotic Indian, Italian, French and Moroccan spice formulationsSo I was looking for an accurate responsive digital balance, that is easy to store in my Kitchen drawer, is east to clean, reliable and stylish.Soehnle Page Evolution scale met all my expectations. It measures at 1 gram incremental accuracy. The unit is about 8 inches by 6 inches. The height is less than 0.5 inch, so it easily slips into a drawer with little space. The screen quickly responds to light touch on the screen, no hard finger pressing required to tare it to zero. The black screen and cover looks sleek, elegant.The unit arrived in good shape. I flipped open the battery section, removed the thin plastic slip meant to conserve the included battery. Then I tested it with incremental amounts of standard weights. The scale proved to be accurate. It also measures volume apparently, but I haven't bothered to test that feature.As final test, I baked a 2.2 lbs bread loaf in Zojirushi BB-PAC20 Home Bakery Virtuoso Breadmaker, where all ingredients - from salt at 6 grams to whole flour at 570 grams - were measured and incrementally added using Soehnle 66178 Page Evolution scale. And voila, the baked bread came out "by chef at a Michelin star restaurant" delicious.

Scale is used for weight and portion control of diet. An easy way to maintain the correct serving size, wet or dry, as in pasta. Love this scale.

The instructions are nearly impossible to understand & read (very small print). If you want to switch from U.S. measure to metric, you have to take the battery cover off (on the back) & switch this tiny plastic switch. Not user friendly at all.

I found it to be a bit difficult to use. At first, after zeroing and using one 50g calibration weight, It read 50g reliably. Then, adding another 50g calibration weight, it would read 101g, 102g or 103g. After zeroing it several times, it finally weighed in at 100g with both weights. Then, I tried the sensitivity issues I read about, those of a breeze changing it.So I blew on it and indeed a breeze does change it, in my case to 103g and it does not change back to 100g when the breeze stops.When removing all weights it then reads 3g. It seems you have to remove all the weight, re-zero it and start all over in order to keep it accurate. It seems to lock into the highest recorded weight and stay there.I also managed to get it to read 100g for about 5 minutes before it decided to read 101g...no breeze. Taking both weights off at this point, it returned to 0. Just to give you an idea of the quality of my calibration weights, they are for a gunpowder scale where exact, certified weight is critical. I'm a bit torn between 2 stars and 3 stars (don't like/it's ok), but I think I can work with it for now. I just have to remember to weigh everything 3 or 4 times and zero it in between readings with all weight off of it. I guess overall, I wouldn't recommend it for this price, but if you have some leeway in your measurements it should work (just ok) for you.

The feet are located inside the on/off button so the scale lifts off the countertop whenever its pressed. Horrible battery life. Have to press power button several times to turn on. I wish i would have returned it.

Es la segunda que compro. Es verdad que a veces al poner un plato caliente o al echar la comida muy poquito a poco, se descentra y hay que volver a poner la tara a 0. Pero es pequeña, resistente y a mí me resulta fiable.

LOVE this digital scale, it’s accurate, easy to use and has a nice stylish design!

Tout à fait conforme au produit que je recherchais et de plus de la couleur de ma cuisine. A recommander pour le produit lui-même.

Die Waage ist klein, flach, leicht, funktionell und praktisch und dabei genial einfach zu bedienen. Söhnle hat eine tolle Waage gebaut!

è sicuramente la più bella bilancia sul mercato, molto sensibile al tatto e veloce nella chiusura e nella tara , occorrono 3 secondi per vedere dall,accensione, lo zero per poi pesare, un attimo invece per la tara e per spegnerla. non calcate molto con le dita perché è inutile visto è molto sensibile al tatto. attenzione a trattarla con delicatezza visto che il piano è di vetro nero ed è naturalmente delicato, gli urti la potrebbero scheggiare i bordi e sarebbe un peccato. la consiglio a chi vuole un oggetto di qualità e di designe per pa cucina, se invece avete bisogno di un oggetto meno delicato, consiglio altri modelli magari meno eleganti . consegna super come sempre da amazon, grazie. gd reggio emilia
