Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Soehnle Hippo Digital Food Scale
Customer Review: Works GREAT, holds up under use.
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I've had this scale for over a year now, and I love it. It's accurate, easy to use, and despite what other reviewers have said about durability, it's held up perfectly.
Sure, it's plastic, but it's lightweight and easy to handle. Just don't drop it. I can't imagine that would be good for any scale!
As for the single button for on-off-tare... it is simplicity itself. If the unit is off when you press the button, it turns on. If the unit is on, and the indicated weight is not ZERO, pressing the button will TARE the current weight to zero. If the unit is on, and indicating zero weight, pressing the button turns it off!
This all sounds more complicated when read than when you actually use it. In fact, the use of this single button was completely intuitive to me... I had no need for the user manual whatsoever.
The readily-accessible metric/english switch is really great. You can weigh something, flick the switch, and see the weight in the other units! Nice...
I've had no problems with this scale after 13 months, and would buy another one.

Silver finish with easy-to-ready LCD display. Integrated hook on back for hanging onto a wall. Measures in grams and oz. Additive weighing function.This German company has been making scales since 1868 and has a great deal of expertise behind the production of each one. The Hippo model is durably made with a reliable weighing mechanism and is easy to use. This digital scale has a switch that sets measurements to either the imperial (pounds/ounces) or metric (grams/kilograms) systems, making it easier to follow recipes from either American or European cookbooks without having to figure out weight conversions. An additive weighing function reports changes in weight as you continue to add ingredients to the scale. The Hippo measures up to 11 pounds or 5 kilograms on its plastic platform.
