OddBitsnBobs Great Value Kitchen Scale 10Kg x 1g SF-400 ABS Plastic LCD Large Capacity Kitchen Diet Food Digital Scale White

One minor quibble first. It comes with batteries, but when I put them in it didn’t work. I thought I’d got a broken model but I noticed one battery looked ‘funny’. Sure enough with a different battery it worked fine. Something to watch out for.As for the machine, it’s great. Nice sized plate, easy to read the numbers. Yes it’s plastic but it’s not that cheap and nasty in my opinion, not for the money – it doesn’t creak like cheap plastic things can do when you pick them up, it’s reasonably solid. I can imagine if you used it as a bat to play table tennis with it wouldn’t last long, but you’re not going to be doing that, are you?Anyway, the instructions do advise that you don’t jump on it - sensible advice and I will try to avoid doing that for as long as possible.The reason I bought it because it was so cheap and most of the reviewers were saying it’s accurate – it's certainly inexpensive and seems accurate enough for what I wanted it for which was weighing food.It also turned up quickly from this seller. I ordered it Thursday, arrived 10mins before lunch on Saturday and I was able to take it straight out of the box and (after half a minute of the battery shenanigans alluded to) weigh out my food precisely, which is what I wanted it for. This good fortune of timing probably colours my view of the machine a bit, but I like it, just what I wanted.

I love these scales. I've used them for everything from weighing letters to flour for bread baking and they do seem extremely accurate. They weigh very little and the numbers are large and easy to read. The weighing area is large and will accommodate a substantial plastic bowl or container for all your ingredients when cooking as wel as a large envelope or package when preparing a letter for posting.

Very lightweight product making it easy to transport, it is simple to use and easy to read. I have only just started to use it, but it works perfectly and does the job well not sure how long they will last as not very robust, but good for the price paid.

reasonable for the price but its not a 10kg scales only weights up to 7 kg

I've been using the 7kg version of these for a few years. They are used in a workshop so they break often because of rough handling. I've been through quite a few and they've all been accurate. I have a certified 100g weight and they always show the right weight. These 10kg ones ones though... I bought 2 and they are both the same. They show anything from 98 to 102. Different figure each time. Rubbish.

I've got a set of these already; had for 18 months, very happy with them as kitchen scales. Occasionally my neighbour borrows them. This usually coincides with my needing to weigh a parcel or package for the post. So I bought this set for my neighbour. She is delighted, both at the quality, the price and the super-fast free delivery.There are no silly coin shaped batteries to run out every five minutes, and you can't get flour trapped between the scale and the inner workings, so for my mind these beat the sleeker flatter models hands down. These ones last longer and work more efficiently.

...I had to immediately go and buy replacement batteries at a cost of £1.99 in order to operate these otherwise adequate scales, so build this extra cost into your budget. The batteries supplied not only did not work, but were very clearly degraded. I had no option on my tablet to contact the supplier, therefore a complaint has been raised to Amazon. The scale seems otherwise very accurate, but flimsy. I am not holding out hope for it lasting a lifetime.

I bought these scales for eBay purchases and have been just delighted with them.They do feel very light and are rather plastic and cheap feeling but they are accurate and do the job well.For the price they are hard to beat.
