I cook with this scale constantly day in and day out as I prefer to measure quantities by mass instead of volume as it is quicker, more accurate, and more precise (i.e., reproducible). I have been using the scale since January, 2016. It is still going strong.I like the fact that it has 1) a pull out readout, 2) an 11Kg capacity, and 3) long battery life.The pullout readout alone makes this scale worth more than any other digital scale in its class. When weighing something in say a large pot, being able to pull the readout away from the scale body makes all the difference.11 Kg (24 lbs 4 oz) is very handy as well. Even better is the fact that even at an 11 Kg capacity the scale resolution is 1 g! In spite of this 11Kg max weight limit, I sometimes need more than this in terms of capacity, but not too often. And all of this in a reasonable footprint to boot.I use the scale (without the backlight) many, many times a day. Batteries generally last for more than a month and are quickly changed with need be.My scale does have one annoying habit, which is not a show stopper. Most of the time, when it is turned on, it registers 1g and not 0g. It requires a second press of the tare button to get it to zero out. When I first received the scale more than seven years ago now, it reliably always turned on with zero showing. Somewhen along the way, it started showing a 1g reading most often on turn-on. After 7 years of constant use, the plastic cover on the tare button is beginning to be rough and frayed, and the deck plate isn't as shiny as it once was, but we keep the unit clean and it has given no trouble.I like this scale so much, that I have gifted this model to family members several times now.I no longer have the sheet that came with the scale, and even if I did, there is one function that is not well explained. That is the tare and the auto shutoff.One needs to understand the memory function on automatic shut off (after 6 minutes). It retains the last tared weight in memory. After 30 minutes that memory will be lost.Assuming that you had tared something, and left the unit until it shut off, if one presses the "on" button with nothing on the bed, it will remember the last tare, which will appear as a negative number.If, however, one has something on the bed and it has been more than 6 minutes after auto shut off, but less than 30 minutes, pressing the "On" switch will cause the scale to read 0 and the previous tare weight will be lost or replaced.In other words, the unit will still be in tare mode on restart after an auto shutoff. Start it with nothing on the bed, and one can see the last tare if it has been less than 30 minutes since auto shutoff. Start it with something on the bed and the unit will be in tare mode and display zero.
