Amazon.com Review
For health-conscious cooks concerned about accurate portion control, Polder's little scale is just the ticket. Small enough to tuck in a drawer, its plain design and light color blend in on the countertop as well. The bowl is detachable and dishwasher-safe--just wipe down the scale as necessary--and the red dial is easy to read, measuring in both ounces and grams. Not just for dieters, it also works well as a first kitchen scale for bakers who want to see if weighing ingredients makes a noticeable difference over standard measuring cups. --Jill Lightner

 Hard to read the lines April 25, 2010

I purchased this food scale to measure my diet portions and I wished I never bought it so I put it aside and will be buying another type of scale. The problem with this scale is two things: Once the "empty" container is placed on top of the scale, the scale jumps off zero, therefore you will have no idea how much food to put in it to weigh the amount you want. Secondly, there is no way to know how much is 2 ounces, 3 ounces, 5 ounces, etc. because of the many lines which makes it very difficult to figure out anything. So don't frustrate yourself. Don't buy it. Only buy a scale that will start at zero and you can easily read the exact amount you want to weigh.
Not a bad little cheap-o item February 5, 2010

I won't lie - the low price point was what sold me on this scale. I wasn't sure how much I'd use one in the kitchen, so I didn't want a large investment.
This little guy does his job. The tray holds the measured food well, whether it be solid or liquid.
There's better scales out there, but if you're just looking for something inexpensive to get the basic job done, this will do it.
 The ultimate $6 scale November 16, 2009

I wasn't expecting much but this little scale has performed perfectly in helping us weigh and measure everything on our diet. The unit is very small and seems to be very accurate. It can only weigh up to 1 pound, but for quick and small measurements there's really nothing better. The measurement bucket detaches and washes easily.
Cool but one problem November 11, 2009

A very nice and useful and cost-effective scale. The only thing I don't like is that the numbers part is curved, so looking at it from different directions changes where the thing is pointing.
It's small, but it works October 19, 2009

This little guy is exactly what I wanted. Right after the 5 second assembly I measured out some almonds and veggies. There is a small dial to recalibrate which worked as intended. The measurements go up to 500g or slightly over 1 lb. The little white measuring bowl has a convenient spout on the corner.
My wife accidentally washed the bowl in the dishwasher behind my back and she used the steam heat to dry. I didn't read any directions because this thing is truly self-explanatory, but don't expose it to high heat. My bowl warped slightly but it wasn't enough to harm the functioning AT ALL. The price is right, you get what you pay for.
