Luxury Starfrit kitchen scale (lemmy.nz)

OK, "luxury" is pushing it, but I like the flip out keypad, the backlit display, and that it uses a 9V battery which means I can use a USB battery instead of disposable coin cells.

The stainless steel surface is easy to clean, and the readout isn't blocked by the thing you're weighing.

I don't know, what do you think? Good deal?

Hilarious story!

I already have a Starfrit scale, the one with the glass top. But it gets dirty on both sides and you can see it, but it's hard to reach under it. So that annoys me.

I admit I bought it because I thought it looked good. But anything you weigh in a bowl it hides the readout. Dumb design I should have known better.

So the scale I thrifted is overkill, it seems to have some kind of calorie calculator as well as a temperature readout. But hey, $7!

The funny thing is I used to spend money like crazy. Now I earn more than ever and I've turned into a scrap hauler...
