The American Weigh ONYX Slim Design Kitchen Scale is a popular new style of kitchen scale that is finding a home in many kitchens. In a market bursting with dozens of different varieties of scales in all shapes and sizes, there are a few reasons why people choose the ONYX Slim scale over its competitors. When shopping for a new food scale, you may want to consider the following benefits that set the ONYX scale apart from the competition.

The most visible apparent benefit of the ONYX Slim food scale is the wide range of available colors. This is going to be a fairly superficial consideration for some of us, but most of us still want a tool to not only work well, but also be pretty. American Weigh has you covered, and offers their kitchen scales in a wide range of hues, including everything from blue to black to lime green. You can even find pink kitchen scales if you are willing to do a bit of looking.

The sleek, modern design with its clean lines makes it a great addition to any kitchens that employ a similar aesthetic. Rather than having a raised base upon which you place your bowl or item to be weighed, ONYX food scales are made up of a single layer. The weighing plate takes up most of the surface area with a large, easy to read display at the bottom. The thin, rectangular design also allows it to be easily stored, either in a drawer or on a shelf.

Rather than a traditional plastic food scale, the single sheet that makes up this scale is made of tempered glass. The replacement of any raised buttons with heat-sensitive buttons leaves a single, smooth working surface. In the event of spills that would have the potential to damage or destroy a traditional food scale, this can be a godsend because the single layer of tempered glass is far easier to clean than any other scale you may come across.

Unlike most food scales, which use AA or AAA batteries for power, the ONYX Slim kitchen scale uses dual lithium ion batteries. These powerful batteries will give you an extra long life. This means that the constant changing of batteries that you may have had to endure in the past is going to be a thing of the past.

Finally, we have to consider the warranty. Unlike many of its competitors, which only offer a one year warranty, American Weigh has taken a large step forward in this regard. Instead of one year, they are so confident in their product that they offer a ten year warranty. This guarantees that you are going to get your money's worth, and any problems that may come up will be taken care of.
