Customers Say
Compact, accurate kitchen scales with easy-to-use buttons, clear display, and multiple measurement units. Durable with a 15-year guarantee, though some find the platform small and display contrast could improve.

Great digital scales
I bought the scales a week ago and am very pleased with them. The scales are easy to read and it’s a simple press of a button to switch between weights. Being small they store neatly. The 15 year guarantee is reassuring.

Great product
Bought this as a replacement for same model that had finally gone after 10 years. Has great options of measurements and is small and lightweight. East to read screen and very accurate.

Excellent scales
Very pleased with this scale. Great range, very accurate and easy to operate. Even my partner feels in control and the previous scales were always a challenge. Having replaceable batteries also seems a plus.

Hi Slim
The Heston Blumenthal Precision Scale - Black weighs to a maximum capacity of 5kg / 11lbs with graduations of 0.5g / 0.02oz / 0.5ml / 0.02fl.oz.
For these scales to have graduations of 0.1g then there would be a much lower maximum capacity.
Thanks for using Q&A.
No. Starts at 0.5g
I don't like this. Porridge dust & flour dust fall around the control buttons and it's hard, if not impossible to clean out. Also difficult to clean under the silver scale, where the red is seen. Putting a dish on each day to weigh porridge causes scratches too. Poor design I'd say.
