I bought this last October. I was sure I was doing something wrong, but now I know it's not me, the little scale has never worked. Not once. When I try to weigh two things, both weights add together on the big scales weight. Not good when making soap. If anyone knows of a place to send it for repair or replacement, please let me know. Thanks!

Weight on the scale is inconsistent and inaccurate. Wildly off by 10-20 grams on the SAME ITEM simply being placed on it and lifted off and placed back on it! Garbage. Returned.

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2018
Style: Heston Blumenthal PrecisionVerified Purchase
The smaller scale/platform doesn't give you more than 0.1g accuracy, that which many of the single-platform scales give you as well, nor is it particularly more accurate than them either in measuring weights below 1g. Even the minimum weight for it is the same as for other scales (which cover its full range) where it doesn't actually measure/distinguish between anything even remotely under .2g. I kind of thought that was the whole point of it. You can sort of eyeball I guess and divide .2g of whatever you put on there in half, but I wouldn't trust it to consistently even give a readout for this minimum until it's been exceeded.

Also, the platforms aren't actually balanced and are biased towards the middle, so if you place anything which isn't exactly towards the center, it measures it as heavier than it actually is. At least having some lightly drawn circles in the middle then would've helped. Just given the way it works, it doesn't feel like this scale would retain its accuracy in the long-run, but I guess that's just speculation.

Other than that, it's ok I guess - looks nice, is intuitive, and is relatively accurate enough. Being able to easily switch between the different measuring units is also nice.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS SCALE
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2021

I bought this scale while I was in cooking school to work on my menus at home. This was THE worst scale I’ve ever owned. It never measured correctly. The smaller scale was horrific and it stopped working after a couple of months. I changed the batteries and nada! I actually bought mine from the company in England. When I contacted them, they did nothing and did not stand by their crappy product. It looks and sounds great, but PLEASE take my advice and don’t waste your money!!

5.0 out of 5 stars lässt kaum Wünsche offen
Reviewed in Germany on November 29, 2014
Style: Heston Blumenthal PrecisionVerified Purchase
An unserer alten Salter Waage gibt nach über 10 Jahren zum Teil täglicher Benutzung der Einschaltknopf auf.
Wir fanden das so überzeugend, dass es wieder eine Salter sein sollte.

Die zwei Platten Waage ist wohl das High-End-Modell für den privaten Gebrauch von Salter.

Was uns wichtig ist, wird voll erfüllt:

Sie wiegt schnell und präzise, mit wiederholbaren Ergebnissen (+/- 1 Digit) ohne bei längeren Wiegungen wegzudriften
Sie hat einen weiten Wiegebereich trotz hoher Auflösung (bis 10kg ! bei 1g Auflösung)
Wir können endlich Gewürze und Salz präzise abwiegen (0,1g Auflösung bis 200g auf der kleinen Platte)
Die Waage lässt sich relativ leicht reinigen
Das Display ist leicht ablesbar (ohne Brille)
Es handelt sich um normale Batterien (AAA), Akkus (eneloop) funktionieren ebenfalls.
10 Jahre Garantie

Keine wirklichen Negativpunkte, aber zur Klarstellung

Tara dauert ca. 0,5 Sekunden, ist dann aber auch stabil
Ohne Benutzung schaltet sich die Waage nach genau 1 Minute selbst ab. Für manche ist das vielleicht zu kurz. Die Hintergrundbeleuchtung des Displays bleibt dabei die ganze Zeit an.

Für uns schlicht und einfach die komplette Wiegelösung, die keine Wünsche offenlässt, von 3g Gewürze bis 5kg Pakete.

Läuft seit 6 Monaten ohne Probleme. Die Hohe Genauigkeit war erst nach ein paar Malen Benutzung vollständig gegeben. Die Verarbeitungs-Anmutung ist sehr hoch.

Wer will kann mal nach Heston Blumenthal im Web suchen - ist wohl ein Starkoch in UK, der viel mit Molekularküche macht und daher eine präzise Waage haben wollte. Soll mir Recht sein ;-)

Nachtrag nach 16 Monaten: Läuft immer noch wie am ersten Tag. Wiegt einfach nicht mehr und schaltet sich ab, wenn die Spannung der Akkus zu niedrig ist. Wir benutzen die Waage fast täglich, die Akkus halten trotzdem einige Monate.

Mr Tester
5.0 out of 5 stars Simply fantastic! A delight to use too...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2014
Style: Heston Blumenthal PrecisionVerified Purchase
We would like to think that we know quite a bit about kitchen scales in our household. We have certainly been through enough of them. Firstly, most modern scales seem pretty accurate on the weighing side of things (which is clearly what they are designed to do and so a bit obvious I guess). I think that the technology nowadays with digital measuring is kinda more than good enough for domestic usage.

So that's the boring bit done with. Most scales we have had, thrown away, or which stopped working, were unusable etc all had plenty of design elements that either irritated or actually even annoyed. In most cases the display is too small, or not with sufficient contrast to read easily under kitchen lighting. Then often the display gets completely hidden by your food/container when placed on the scales! Another annoyance oft encountered is the insistence of many scales to decide they have been on for long enough and take it upon themselves to switch off! Very frustrating if the auto-switch-off is too keen. Then there are those scales which have so few buttons that you have to go through the same succession of repeated button-presses every time you use them. I could go on (and quite often do!)...

Now, let's talk about the Heston Blumenthal Dual Platform Precision Scales:

THEY ARE BRILLIANT!

Well, I hope that has helped any prospective purchasers make their decision.

Kind regards
Mr Tester.

Oh, you want more information? Okay, does this help:

1) Build and overall quality 10/10. These scales are simply beautiful in their design. They are elegant and I would imagine will spend pretty much all their life out on your kitchen worktop. Any nosy neighbours who pop round to borrow a cup of sugar will shrivel up in jealousy the moment they espy your beautiful scales. When they ask to borrow them too just tell them to go away and get their own sugar and scales. The build quality is top-notch with stainless steel surfaces.

2) Design 10/10. If anyone out there can design a better kitchen scale then you should be in manufacturing now. These scales have been so well thought out. The secondary smaller weighing platform may seem overkill but it isn't - it's a handy extra that you will almost certainly use at times. The main thing about the design is that you can pop a dish, plate, bowl, or even a bag of haggis-bits -- and you will still be able to clearly see the display. What more could a simple man (or woman) want eh? Sheer genius in my opinion that someone has designed some scales that are actually readable when weighing food!! Probably being a bit overly sarcastic here but hopefully you get my point.

3) Display 10/10. Actually - 15/10. What a stunning display. Large (very large) main readout and the type of LCD they have used is sort of reversed with pale numbers against a dark background. The bottom line is that they are wonderfully readable in pretty much any situation (haven't tried them when scuba diving as yet though). My wife's days of peering to see stupid small LCD readouts are a thing of the past. Heston has nailed it with this display. A total winner and this type of display ought to be made a legal requirement by the EU I reckon. You will not be disappointed. Apart from the stunning display the information is quick and logical to access. Very very good indeed.

4) Value for Money 10/10. They might not be the cheapest kitchen scales on Amazon but actually, for what you get I believe they represent very good value for money. Mainly because anyone receiving them will be so chuffed that they will have forgotten about the money the moment they plop a tomato on to weigh. Although arguably completely useless to some purchasers I feel I have to even mention the box they come in. I never thought I would rave about a box that a gadget comes in but this one is special. It more befits an item of jewellery. The box is unbelievably well made. If you want to keep you scales in their box then every time you put them away you'll have a 'special moment'. We keep our scales out all the time but, if you are in that situation, then the box is so lovely that I am sure you could find another use for it... please send suggestions to the address below! It's strange but the moment you get your hands on Heston's scales you know you have something special as the box is, after all, the first tactile experience you get when opening the package.

5) Functionality 10/10. They work, and they work very very well. They do not turn off every time you bend down to scratch your ankle. They are simple and logical in operation. What more could a person want (except for more money and better looks maybe)?

You may have gathered that we like our Heston Scales. Yes we do.

If you buy them, my humble opinion is that you will like them too.

For the forseeable future we do not anticipate looking at any other kitchen scales. Our scale-quest is over. Ended.

If you buy them, my humble opinion is that you will not need to look at any other kitchen scales.

For those of you who think I am being overly-biased, well okay you may have a point. However, I have only bothered to spend the best part of 30 minutes writing this review because I do like to give credit where credit, I feel, is due. We have literally wasted time, effort, money and food on inferior kitchen scales over the years. This time we have got it right...

...or should I say Heston/Salter have got it right!

(Please note that I do not have any association with Heston Blumenthal or Salter, other than that of being a very happy customer). Also, please remember that this is my personal and honest opinion, and ultimately you may have a different experience and thoughts should you consider purchasing the item.
