it is now a long time ago that I have bought this product and I've been thinking too long if I should write this thing. before I bought this product, I had a Soehnle scale was probably already 35 years old and worked well until the end. but then a few parts are broken due to age. That's why I am again chosen a Soehnle. this product I do not like the outwardly sloping tread. after a few days disbanded the number plate, they bulged more and turns up the vaults equipment on the visible disk. thus the pointer was then attached to it. anger I then tossed in the garbage and bought a Seca. I can not understand that the number plate you insert so primitive and cheap at a Soehnle scale.
