Reliable scales, and fit for purpose. Very good quality / price ratio. Of course, for the price, it is certainly necessary to adjust the needle on zero before each weighing (which takes 10 seconds max ...) and it does not have the accuracy of an electronic scales with 2-3 digits after the comma, but it helps to know its weight in kg. Moreover, it will not let me go as my old scales electronic overnight, no problem with the battery change (thus more environmentally friendly too). Vintage look. In short I am satisfied and very suitable for occasional use.
