Does anyone have a recommendation for a good scale? I want a digital scale with a fairly small footprint that measures partial ounces, can be zeroed during weighing, and can be calibrated. Anything I should be requiring of my scale that I haven't listed? I'll be using it mainly for baking.
thanks, scoop
Not really, Susan, just a great scale. Soehnle Futura. Weighs up to 2 kg =
or the equivalent in ounces (switchable).

I have the same scale and agree - it's great. I also think it was pronounced best scale by Cooks Illustrated, for whatever that may be worth.
I bought one of these a few years ago, and I love it:

I have the same one and it works well. I believe I paid $35 for it, I see now it's a bit less

I love my (husband's!) Salter Aquatronic: measures up to 5 kilos/11 lbs in .5g/1/4 oz increments. Also measures fluid oz's and litres. I've had it for nearly 3 years, use it constantly, and the two CR2032 (3V Lithium watch) batteries have yet to run out! It's about 8.5" by 7", and quite flat. Use your own bowl of any size on it.
Here's my recommendation
I have used my Aquatronic for several years and have been very happy with it as well. It tends to be less expensive than some of the others mentioned in this group, because it is not as striking looking, but it stores better and works just fine.

Yes, max weight.

Wonderful scale!

I have it too...it's fantastic. And I paid $99 for it from Amazon, so this seems like a bargain at $59.99.
Next time you want to buy a specific product, Sam, do the froogle.

I have the Salter 1004 Electronic Kitchen Scale. It's small, flat and metal. It stands up on end inside my cabinet. I loved the Soehnle Futura but I don't have room for it. This one is sooo perfect.
You can see it at:
?
The futura fits in the palm of my hand. It is not big at all.
I don't see where it would take up more room than the Salter.
Plus, it looks like a modern sculpture, more than a scale.
I don't mind having it sit on the counter all the time. Sleek.
It I need the room, I hang it on the potrack. :-)
