Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Soehnle 65105, Style Digital Kitchen Scale, SilverCustomer Review: Nice Looking, Small, Fairly Accurate, Good Value Summary: 5 Stars
This scale has a maximum capacity of 9 pounds, 15 ounces (or 5,000 grams), & accuracy to .05 ounces (or 1 gram), per the sticker on the scale. I tested its accuracy with two different sets of Ohaus brass weights (made in New Jersey); both sets of weights gave identical results. At weights of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 16, & 24 ounces, the scale was completely accurate if I perfectly centered the weight on the glass platform. If the weight was not exactly centered, I would sometimes get a weight reading that was off by .05 ounces (the scale always gave a too low reading in those cases). At lower weights (1 ounce, 0.5 ounce, & 0.25 ounce), the scale was always off by .05 ounce (again, it always gave a too low reading). This wouldn't seem to be a big deal, unless you're using it as a postal scale, in which case there's a small chance you could owe postage due & have a letter returned to you. Most kitchen scales are not accurate to anywhere near this degree, & I only bring it up because Soehnle's claim is that the scale is accurate to ".05 oz."
The box says that the scale is made in "P.R.C" & an attached sticker says "Made in China," but designed in Germany.
When you set up the scale, note that the directions are given as illustrations, & that the second illustration indicates that you must open the battery cover, pull out the red piece of plastic, & replace the cover, before the scale will operate.
Two, three-volt CR2032 batteries (the flat, button type) are included. It comes with a 5 year warranty, which is stated in enough different languages to make the United Nations proud.
Overall, this is an excellent value for the price, if you're looking for a small, attractive kitchen scale that is more accurate than you'll probably need.
