Good for First Kitchen Scale Purchase
This was the first kitchen scale I've ever used. What a difference a scale makes in baking! After baking a batch of cookies you no longer have a sink full of dirty measuring cups and bowls. The only drawback to this scale is it isn't precise enough. It only weighs in 5 gram or 1/4 oz increments so if you need an ingredient that weighs 106 grams or 1/8 oz, the scale will only weigh 105/110 grams or 1/4 oz. Once you get into weighing ingredients you find this lack of specificity inadequate.
As far as its ability to weigh liquids, I've found I rarely use it.
Robust scale
I've used this for over 2 years and haven't had a bit of trouble. Works every time, and I use it every day.
good basic scale
I've had this scale for about 3 years, and it's worked fine, and seems fairly accurate. My biggest problem (and the reason for the 3-star rating) is that, when measuring in ounces, it's only accurate to a quarter of an ounce. For most things this is fine, but I've run into some situations (particularly when measuring small amounts of things like baking powder/soda or salt) when accuracy down to a tenth of an ounce (or less) would have been preferable. I love not having to bother with measuring cups any more, but with this scale you still have to break out the measuring spoons to measure small amounts.
Not really sure what "DeepFreeze3" is referring to with respect to this scale being difficult to use. I've never had a problem reading the LED or pressing the buttons, all of which seem perfectly serviceable to me. Cleaning has never been an issue.
