Inside the box you’ll find the bowl and base tucked up in soft covers.
The USB cable is also housed in its own box.
The most fitting word to describe their overall appearance is ‘majestic’.
They are simply stunning.
I dare you to hide these away in a cupboard!
They’re also majestic in design and size.
They’re made to be seen.

The cable is connected at the back of the base and and is simple to use.
I found the LED display clear, and the bowl didn’t get in the way of the view.
It’s also simple to change the measurement if you want to swap between metric and imperial.
I had to rely on my nails to move it, rather than my fingertips.
This isn’t ideal when you’ve got a bowl full of ingredients.
It can be harder if you fingers are sticky, which is often the case when measuring ingredients.
I carried out various tests to check how they performed.
The manual states that they will measure ingredients to a resolution of 2-5,000g.
I found this to be accurate.
While they wouldn’t register a 1g weight, they measured anything above.
And when using a combination of weights to measure 171g, they performed perfectly.

Apart from placing the weights within the center of the bowl, I also moved them about.
The design is exquisite and they are one of the best kitchen scales in terms of design.
