Although some might be surprised at how blatantly the Cloer Kitchen Scale looks like an Apple iPhone, it is probably even more surprising that not many more products have been modeled after the super-successful designs released by this computer company. Of course, that is when legal issues arise, so perhaps it isn't so surprising.
This Cloer Kitchen Scale is a minimalist cuisine appliance that is as practical to have on hand as it is stylish. Created by a German family-owned company that specializes in kitchenware, it boasts a sleek glass surface and a brushed aluminum frame. Just like the iPhone, the Cloer Kitchen Scale features only one button for power and resetting the scale. The weight is displayed through the glass surface. Unfortunately, this high-tech-looking appliance uses 3 AAA batteries.
