we're looking to replace our scales with somehting durable and reliable. We had a scale that lasted for years, but eventually died, right before Christmas a or two year ago. I wanted one that I could put my own bowl on ie a flat platform sort of thing (the old very reliable one had its own bowl thing). So we tried one, which was returned within days because we couldn't get it to work (we may even have tried two of the same model). A this point we were getting desperate and various ones that were recommended (John Lewis?) were out of stick, it being a busy time of year. So we eventually got a salter acquatronic with a see through platform, which has been a pain ever since - the battery doesn't sit well, even with much blutack, and the patform bit is now coming apart.
So, what shoud we get that is small, reliable, and lets me put my mixing bowl on top?
