I had a Guzzini balance for 10 years and it just broke as we dropped it on the floor. Loved it, so I bought a new one. What I like is the dual measurements: Kilos and pounds. We follow so many different recipes, particularly from France and Italy. It looks good and doesn't take much space in my cabinet. The only minus is that the weight is not absolutely exact. The weight numbers are on a curved surface and you kind of have to move to see the weight. But I am veery happy with this kitchen scale
