After reading several reviews, I decided to go with this model and am glad I did. It is easy to read, the tare feature holds even when off or powers down. This is the first I have converted my baking to weight instead of volume and it is much easier to do. No messy measuring, just add to your container until you hit the right weight! Top removes for easy cleaning, it is light yet sturdy. Be sure to purchase any scale with the AC adapter, no worries of dead batteries during a busy day of baking. Highly recommend this work horse!
