When the Consumer Association's Which? Magazine last tested kitchen scales back in 1996, two "Best Buy" recommendations were for models from the UK market leader, Salter Housewares Ltd. Now Salter has done it again with two "Best Buy" choices in the August 2002 report and, once again, in each of the mechanical and electronic types. Cited by Which? Magazine's testers as a "clear winner" in the mechanical category, Salter's model 810 Multiweigh, is in fact the very same product as chosen last time. "It's certainly been a top-performer in terms of consumer appeal for many years" says Salter's UK Sales & Marketing Director, Colin Woolven, "as shown by the consistency of these report findings and previous Best buy accolades from others such as from the BBC Good Food Guide" With sleek yet practical styling, a rotating dial for easy add & weigh use, and a large 2 litre mixing bowl, the Multiweigh weighs up to 4kg/9lb.

Already an award winner within the housewares trade*, the second Which? best buy choice of the Salter Model 1004 "block" scale, is a welcome recognition from the consumer angle, according to Colin, "We aim to lead by design in our industry, and it's rewarding to see the 1004, with it's very unique & minimalist styling, finding such favour with trade & consumer experts, on top of outstanding sales for this item" (*Progresive Housewares/CHA Excellence in Homewares award 2001) The Salter 1004 has an easy to read highly accurate LCD display weighing up to 5kg/11lb and down to 2g or 1/8oz increments, powered by lithium batteries (supplied). A large flat stainless steel platform is ideal for use without a bowl, or the scale is set at the touch of a button to allow for most kitchen bowls.
