Do you have a timer? If not, demand it as a gift from the seller of these scales. The instructions for this miracle of technology are written - instant auto-on, but it starts to function only after pressing the “on” button! And just here you need a timer. You will note the time after which you will be able to start the unit. The button does not work the first time, as someone lucky, but on the fifth attempt, the scales will turn on exactly, the warranty from the manufacturer!
And one more small, but insidious detail. There are no containers for weighing, the function of deducting the tare weight works as “perfect” as the power button, and the product platform is round and very small in diameter. Catching rolling products is very exciting, but quickly tires. Bottom line: either buy only square vegetables and fruits, or pass by these weights.

Fragile-looking scales persistently hint at careful handling, but the control panel does not like tenderness. To turn on the scales from the first time, you will need at least 15 “pokes” until you have the courage, and do not push it down properly.
The weakest point of scales - soft legs. Put the scales on a tablecloth or stand and you will never see the exact weight. Put 200 grams on the scale. sweets, after 15 minutes they will be 180. The legs are deformed, and the weight decreases, but look at it from the other side - you will eat less calories. The principle of software will be understood by nuclear physicists; everyone else will have to keep instructions with them all the time. In fairness, we note that these scales have a nice plus - a picture with a picture of a watermelon or an orange. Unless, of course, this will console you.

For weighing on this model, the scales will only fit a perfectly flat surface, otherwise soft legs will deform and the scales will “sin” decently. You turn on the scales, and 30 grams are already declared on the screen. They wiped the dust from them, the apartment was consecrated - it did not help, I had to put up with it. By the way, it makes no sense to weigh products less than 200 grams. Scales become confused and can “blink and wink” the display for 10–15 seconds, and then give the result “offhand” ± 20 grams. If you are looking for a device that can accurately weigh products - this model is not for you.
Scarlett IS-565
And once again, the Scarlett kitchen appliance excelled. Why a device? Because it is simply impossible to call scales this flat piece with a mass of unnecessary buttons, refusing to weigh products. For a start, we note sensorics of the buttons at a very high level, so if possible, do not breathe on them. Control buttons are on the side and right on the surface for weighing! Also, if possible, place the weighing products strictly in the center, otherwise an error of 15–20% of the weight is guaranteed. For fans of a healthy lifestyle scales can count the calorie content of food. The list of 999 products includes colas, alcoholic beverages, desserts, but no buckwheat and kefir. As one famous grandmother liked to say something on the side of the button.

Miserly pays thrice! Do not want to buy ordinary batteries? Get these scales with the solar battery! Go for a couple of weeks and buy them to replace good scales and batteries. Very much a beautiful picture on the scales, reckless buyers are being “led” to it.In principle, you can use the scales, but you will have to equip the kitchen with fluorescent lamps or move to the country of the “eternal sun”. They will not work from the light of a light bulb or on a cloudy day. But this is not all quirks. Weights have a mood, and on certain days they can add 5 grams to the true weight, and sometimes even 100 grams. If you put a weight at different points on the surface, its weight will change every time, probably, gravity influences so much. Excellent model to complement the interior, but not for functional use in the kitchen.
