I would like a digital set that is accurate down to the teeniest weight up to about 5kg. There are lots on TM but I don't know which ones are reliable.

I bought a set of digital ones at Briscoes a couple of years ago but I'm not impressed.I think I'll invest a a good pair of manual ones.Not much to go wrong there.

Really? Dam, I want to be able to weigh my small chicks for growth purposes and the needle reading type ones are hard to pin point a gram or two.

I use Salter and its very reliable, it only weighs up to 2 kg though.It was a present from my kids so its extra special to me and I like it.

I have a Salter aquatronic which weighs from 2g - 5kgs in 1g increments. It has the zero out function which would be good for weighing chicks in containers where you weigh the container zero it and put the chick in to weigh it. It cost about $95 but I think its worth it.

I had a set of tupperware digital scales which cost $99. They didn't last that long, and the tupperware "lifetime guarantee" doesn't cover the scales. I gave up on them and bought a set that cost $21. Have had constant use from them, they are magic. There are some quite funky looking ones around at the moment: look for something that has a strong dish, some of them are quite flimsy. I love the digital ones as you can just zero back all the time when adding ingredients.

Salter or Soehnle. I dont know why people bother with either Briscoes or Stevens when buying items like this, they are cheap and will not go the distance. Better to spend a little more and get something decent once.

Have a look at Briscoes, there are some good larger models around. I love the digital ones as you can just zero back all the time.

I agree with cooks, I ave just spotted some Soehnle's for sale at a very good price on nzsale.co.nz, if you are not already a member its free to join and you can occasionly get yourself some great bargins. They have both digital and analouge ones that weigh up to 5kg, though I personally prefer my digital ones.
