The product might look appealing and I thought to myself, a brand manufacturer is already producing a reasonable product, especially since it has only a weighing function and no other frills. Unfortunately, the balance, no matter what surface I used them showed repeatedly different results at (on the scale up, weigh down again, then all right again -> deviations of up to 1.5kg), so I had to send back. Have decided after some trial and error in a shop on site for a more favorable no-name model that accurately worked than any other Soehnle products that I tested there.
