Salter Timeless Mechanical Kitchen Scale
SA00562SFEU12, sage, 1-litre bowl
Editorial review Reviewed 24 October 2026 How we assess products
Salter Timeless SA00562SFEU12 is the sage mechanical scale with a removable 1-litre stainless-steel bowl. It weighs up to 5kg without batteries or charging, making it appealing for a traditional worktop setup. The 25g dial divisions are too coarse for yeast, spices or careful coffee dosing, and checking the pointer and adjusting zero is slower than pressing a digital scale’s tare button to reset its reading to zero. Initial assembly of the bowl support needs a small screwdriver. The bowl is dishwasher safe; wipe and dry the mechanism and seams separately. Choose it for broad quantities and battery-free use, not as a precision baking upgrade. Amazon Basics gives finer everyday readings at low cost; Beurer KS25 provides an included bowl with a large digital display.
