Breville Arcosteel Duo Styli 1856 Analog Kitchen Scale

This scale looks cool and might be functional in another kitchen, but didn't work for me. The numbers on the dial are tiny and very closely spaced, so measuring a few ounces is difficult. This scale is more for measuring pounds, in for something that doesn't require the same degree of precision as baking.

very difficult to read the weight ! and isn't that the whole reason for buying a scale?

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? fine
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. so-so

I have had this scale for a few weeks now. It is easy to use, compact but large enough to not be awkward. It isn't made for fine measurementsbut if all you need is ounces or grams it's great. I like the bowl doubling as a cover when not in use so minimal space required for storage. Nice for the price.

This scale is attractive, simple, dependable and easy to use. The plastic bowl turns over for storage and fits nicely on top of the scale, allowing you to leave it on the counter if you want. Weight is in kg and ounces. If you're optically challenged, you might opt for a digital scale. This scale offers you value and doesn't need batteries ... ever.
