I ordered this level a long time ago and I am very pleased. The scale is powered by 4 AA Mignon cells. She has a nice, big, red luminous display, which itself about 10 seconds off after weighing. It sets the balance on by briefly Touch in operation, waits 2s to the off position and enters the scale. The glass-aluminum combination looks very classy and is easy to clean.
Highly recommended product.
Supplement May 2011: I defy daily use still the original batteries supplied into operation.
