OK, so I bought this from a local hardware store and not Amazon. Hold the rotten tomatoes! :-)
Price was about the same as Amazon, it was the only brand the store had, and I needed one right then. I use it every day for portioning out foods. Now I can be sure that everyone gets the same amount of hamburger! :-) It has all the basic features; ounces (to one decimal place) or grams selection, tare weight and auto off. If there's any quibble, the instruction book says that the machine shuts down after three minutes. In practice it's more like one minute. Not a problem for me. This scale is definitely worth a look. Five stars!
Forgot to mention that it will also do double duty as a home postal scale on occasion. Seems to be pretty accurate, too.
4-23-10: While the scale continues to function properly, I thought to note one point that could be a problem. Two points, actually; the front corners come to a sharp point. I accidently bumped into one the other day and, "OW", that's sharp! The bottom of the scale bevels up to meet the top and they meet in a rather sharp edge. This, I thought, is not safe. My skin wasn't broken in this incident but I think it easily could have with enough force. I took an old emery finger nail file and rounded the edges.You may want to consider this if you are thinking about buying this scale.

I love this steamer. I got it to replace a two-tiered steamer I'd gotten over ten years ago.It heats up quickly and steams evenly, even though the baskets are large. I love the timer - no more winding and turning - and it's easily cleaned. The baskets nest so that they only take up the room of one basket while it's in the cabinet.Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product. I'd purchase it again, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good steamer.
