Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Polder Pocket Size Digital Scale
Customer Review: A US nickel weighs 5 grams (Updated 2-5-2011)
Summary: 2 Stars
We were searching for a scale to help us accurately weigh food for the calculation of weight watchers points. A US nickel weighs 5 grams and this scale was dead on. It was small enough for travel and camping and weighs small amounts very nicely. We have used it for spices, meats and letters. The supplied holder for the food (that is also the lid) works best with this scale. We tried using a pyrex cup and even after taring the scale back to zero the total weight exceeded the scales maximum weight limit and would error out. so stick with the lid. we have simply wrapped it with plastic wrap when doing meats. Any other light container will work but most of our plastic bowls were to big and would block the display. The narrow glad containers that lunch-meat comes in worked great! if you to need weigh things over 1 pound or need to use odd size bowls this is not the scale for you. You need one of the $100+ scales. But for $30 this has been more than worth the price!
Update 2-5-2011
I have changed this to a 2 star rating from a 4. The reason is that the power button has just broken. We use this scale 2-4 times a day so these buttons get a work out and they did not last. They are little rubber push buttons and the power button was worn right off it. Quite disappointing.
