My kitchen scales are useless and I really need some new ones. I don't use them that much really - only bake about once a fortnight. Have always thought I might get the tupperware scales but got the latest catalogue and they are $94.95!!! Do you think you could justify spending that on scales?/ :lol: they have a "limited 2 year warranty". If they had a lifetime replacement like some of the tupperware does, I would go for it.
i have chefstoolbox ones that are about same price, but i bought mine in a bundle with some cooking utensils and baking things for $150.
I have not baked since ds was born so scales have been hardly used but i know i have them and they are good quality.
i wouldnt you can get similar ones at places like harris scarfe for a third of the price!!
I prefer my scales which are stainless and probably cost about $70 they do metric and imperial and the one I have now comes in incremints of .01g
Well being an ex-demonstrator i would say yes i can justify paying the $94.95 ......Tupperware will last you forever which is why i justify paying the extra, it's like everything else you pay for quality!
Hmmm they aren't covered by a lifetime warranty. My scales are now nearly 8 yrs old and still working fine! Only changed the batteries once! Don't get me wrong I love tupperware... I have a HUGE plasticware fetish heh. But I still can't justify their scales ;) JMHO don't shoot me down :p
I wont shoot you down!!!! Thats great, sounds like those scales are pretty darn good to Cai....
It is personal choice, i must admit i first thought the same as if you would pay that much for scales but i guess it depends on how often your using them, if you like your scales to also be a photo frame, if your a mad tupperware fan etc etc...but at the end of the day buy what ever you like - afterall they all do the same job...right?
Personally, I wouldn't. Even though I too am a Tupperware nut. I don't go for the Tupperware that has metal parts though, as to me they lose their shine when they don't come with the lifetime warranty.
I would rather find something comparable which is less expensive... which I think you could ;) JMO!
Hehehe I want the Tupperware scales too, but can't justify the costs even at my discounted price, as I just don't do enough baking to warrant the purchase. I do love how you can change it into a picture frame and clock when not in scale use though.
Hmmmmm - as I suspected. I am not the only one who would love them but can't justify them. will just have to settle for more sandwich containers as they seem to be forever getting lost! :lol: thanks ladies. If you see this Cai, what brand are yours?
Mmmm - don't think even I could justify that one Anney...
Every few months Myer has a sale on kitchen scales. I'd get a great set then - you would get a top of the range for less then the tupperware - and electric ones as well...
I couldn't. Not to myself. I love baking and scales are important for that, but I have a cheapy electronic one that is really close enough. It doesnt need to be utterly perfect with what I make, so its no big if they arent superly exact to the nanogram.
If it was also a blender with bowl - I'd be all over it. I want a real blender coz the hand held is killing my wrist! :(
OK Ms Anney - just been to Myer - all kitchen scales including electric on sale...how can you not..???
