The scale does not turn on like the instructions say it will. It takes several presses of the black button to wake up the batteries to get it to work, very annoying. I would send it back but we threw out the box it came in.

These kinetic scales are great no batteries to fuss with. They are nice looking and lightweight.

I really like the scale for it's easy use and doesn't need batteries replaced.

It's OK but not as classy as photo online suggests. I do like that it does not require batteries. Functions as described but not quite as slick as one might think. Maybe I haven't learned the right touch.

I had my doubts over this mechanism and pursued the idea of a rechargeable device, too complicated and too many issues for something so simple to provide - perhaps that’s why I ended up trying this out. Well? Simple effective and does the task all I can say is Stop Looking ! I have found a good seyst with Brabantia
