Good purchase
Good purchase!!! Very light and easy to use. Our 2nd "Salter" digital kitchen scales. The first we had for 20 years, evidence enough that it was value for money!!! I hope this one lasts as long
Pocket Rocket, 65 or over, North west
Perfectly functionable
Have used these quite a few times now and happy with the product. especially as they use AAA batteries. The only reason I deducted a point is that previously I had the other Salter scales that seemed more robust with the stainless steel circle for weighing. These red scales are slightly cheaper quality and not much lower in price. They are meant to be slimline but I don’t notice a huge difference and they are longer than the ones I had before. Another time I would probably opt again for the Salter ones I had previously. Other than that though they do exactly what they need to so can’t complain.

Accurate and with a large easy to read display
Nice neat scales. Large display which zeroes quickly. Very slim design which doesn’t take up much space. And a lovely firm base for bowls and plates. Gorgeous red colour too.

Great!
Item has been used a lot with Christmas baking. Great for purpose.
Jax, 65 or over, Southampton
Just the job!
Replaces traditional weight & balance scales we’ve used for decades but now take up too much space in our downsized kitchen. These 5kg Salter scales are a little wonder - and just tuck away with the cookbooks

Hi Jon,
Yes, the scale includes a manual on/off power button – simply press the “Power” symbol located on the right hand side of the display to turn the product on. Once you have finished weighing, press and hold the same button to manually turn off. Alternatively, the scale also features an “automatic off” function which will switch the scale off after 1 minute of showing a zero balance or 3 minutes based on a steady weight.
Thank you for using Q&A

Thanks for using Q&A
I have exactly the same problem. I contacted Salter and they said to remove the batteries and press the on off button which there is none! Have you managed to sort the low battery issue?
Hi Khill,
The instruction manual for the scales advises the following:
WARNING INDICATORS:
Lo or Low power: Replace batteries
Err or O-Ld or EEEE Weight overload: Remove some weight.
If forcing the scales off by holding down the on/off button, waiting for a few seconds and then turning the scales on again does not resolve the issue, we recommend contacting our customer service team from the help page online for more assistance.
Thank you for using Q&A.
