Lift protective film from embossed digital display, not from outside edge. Works perfectly. At first, I asked, what film? It was hard to remove from the outer edges, but learned the best way to lift the protective film was from the embossed digital display. Put a plate on it before turning it on, and it will read 0 g. That means only the food you add to the plate will be weighed. Love that intuitive feature - no need to do any math.

Very light. Great that it comes with batteries. Don't forget to remove the plastic film.

So simply. Love this use AAA batteries. Not one of these 2032

I got this for my Dad to weight his daily intake. Work well. I replace his old one as it got use every day and worn out after a year.

Just the thing if you don't have a lot of space in your kitchen. I haven't had it long but works great so far.

Great Product , Quality and Price.
