This balance has many qualities:
- It is fine, so compact and very discreet
- Its plate is covered with stainless steel and supports pretty much scratches
- For its maintains a simple sponge is sufficient
- Tare is alone at startup (just ask your plate before lighting it)
- If you forget it goes out of itself (battery saving here 1 CR 2032)
- A switch kg / lb
It serves me as well for the kitchen to weigh a simple letter.
I knew very little Tristar, I had just seen in some major retailers of cheap bricabraque (BABOU, BAZARLAND ...). But in the end, I am very contante for purchasing this much cheaper device TEFAL TERRAILLON or whose prices are often prohibitive!
For someone who wants to invest in a kitchen scale without breaking the bank, I advise him one!

For me this balance is still valid, it still officiates in my kitchen!
