Excellent product delivered quickly and well packed. Slight delay showing readings but not enough to cause a problem once you are aware of it.Other reviewers mark it down because the instructions are only in French and German (which is true) however Google translator is there to solve this problem.

Great, reliable, accurate, well made bowl that has performed for several months without a glitch. The only drawback is that the digital scales respond quite slowly to items or ingredients being added to the bowl and to button pushes.The bowl separates from the scale for washing up etc with a click of the slider, and fits back on very easily. The bowl feels quite flimsy but has proved hard wearing and still fits perfectly.The weight sensor is in the base of the scales so anything resting on any part of the set-up will be weighed.

Love the design of this bowl and scales. Does liquid measurements as well as grams or pounds. Slight snag at first as instructions were only in French and German but English ones soon supplied by seller. I did need the instructions at first but now understand how it works.

Really good product and a good size. Has different settings for water, milk, sugar, flour and then just a general scale setting. No English instructions which is a bit annoying but its not difficult to work out.Overall, love the item.

Very pleased so far, easy to use and set up despite no English instructions. Changes between measurement units is simple and good that it measures liquid, including floz as well.

a bit of getting used to but once mastered its simple to use

It's actually good but I struggled with it at first as the instructions aren't in English I had to research online on how to use it

Instructions weren't in English. Trying to translate with very limited German (me) or slightly less limited French (husband) is not a good idea when cooking.
