Dimensions (W x L x H): 13.3cm x 20.8cm x 1.7cm. Capacity max. 5kg with 1g resolution. + The packaging is doing very well with the compact, protected transport for traveling. + The display is easy to read in very shallow angle (important for large plates that hide the display from above). + The sensor keyboard responds (almost) exclusively on fingers, so that they do not accidentally turn on during transport. + Waiver of additional bells and whistles features that lead to faulty operation. Therefore also suitable as a gift very good for the elderly. + To operate 3 pieces AAA (Micro) batteries are required and not disproportionately expensive, often used in scales lithium button cells. + Hygienic, easy to keep clean since. + Thoughtful handholds on all sides devalue the probability that the good piece 'Handlig' in the kitchen takes damage.
