This Beurer kitchen scales up to 3 kg has a very nice modern design is nice and flat, lightweight and easy well stowed in the cupboard. All parts are indeed made of plastic, but it seems still not 'cheap'. Everything is meticulously crafted. The additional Waagschüssel is a nice touch. One can any bowl or dish (should only be light) draufstellen and use as 'cradle surface'. To simply reset the scale with bowl / dish to "zeros" on it and again briefly the ON / OFF button . Press The LED display really very large, the numbers (to 3 decimal places in kg) are very easy to read. The bluish glow of the display is very pleasant. We use it now since about 7 months and quite often. She still works without quirks. Incidentally, it is also ideal as a letter scale.
