hi all. I was wondering if anyone can help ive brought the talking measuring jug from the r n i b but i cant get it to talk has anyone got any ideas? Or had the same problem?
O wow. I didn't know there was such a thing. Do you know if they sell them in North America?
Try changing the battery. Sometimes they come without one, sometimes they have a little plastic tag in between. The button on the top of the jug should be pushed before you pour anything in there.
As for selling them in North America, I honestly wouldn't bother with them. They're expensive and not terribly accurate.
They sound cool.
yeah they do sound cool...but don't have money to waste on a product that isn't worth buying
They're cool in theory. In practice, they're a waste of money. Just mark your own jug with something like tactimark and measure that way. Much, much cheaper.
Way to burst a person's bubble. Lol.
lol tell me about it. Suppose i should have looked in to it more before buying it. But o well suppose iall have to try and make what use of it i can.
i am assuming that it tells the user how full it is? how can it be accurate when each liquid has a different viscosity and therefore is heavier?
I've seen one of those. I agree with the last poster. sounds like a waste of money, but if you've already got one, then yes, try to make the best of it ...
Sounds like a real rip off. I bet it measures volume of container.
It works on weight. It comes with some presets like water, milk and oil. For anything else, you push a certain button, then are forced to initially pour about half a litre of the new, unknown liquid in there so that it can get a weight. Then you put that back in its original container, push the button to set that as the unknown, then do your measuring. It'll hold that preset until the next time you have a different unknown liquid. Thing is though, you don't always have half a litre or so of what you want to measure, and it's a pain having to pour it in, remove it then re-pour before you get what you want, not to mention all the fiddling with button pushing you have to do.

that sounds like alot of hassel think iall just use it for the basics like measuring milk or water for certain recipes.
I usually use the individual measuring cups and spoons. If you have something tactile that won't come off when it gets wet, I would use that if the use of a measuring jug becomes necessary. But yes. I would definitely make use of it if you already have one.
I'd use that jug for milk for sure.
its an awquard product, you can't really measure without the jug being attached to its electronics, plus its rather bloody expensive for what it is
