Escali Primo Digital Multifunctional Scale Review

Escali Primo Digital Multifunctional Scale
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Excellent scale, even for double the money. The tare feature works like most others, but the three real goodies are:
... the FOUR MINUTE before auto-cutoff. Not like the Taylor scale I had that cut off after one minute of nonuse. It was always cutting off on me before I was finished with it.
... and NO DEFAULT SCALE It's the same as when you last turned it off (if you were using grams, the next time you turn it on it's still in grams, OR ounces at OFF then it's ounces at ON). Tap the button to change g/oz on the fly.
... AND it holds A FULL ELEVEN pounds (5kg). I put a bag of flour on it, set tare, and scoop out until it reads xx-ounces (virtually impossible with a 6# scale).
Yeah, I was a chef for many years and more interested in utility over aesthetics in my equipment. I buy flour in 5# or 10# bags now instead of 50# or 100#. I used to have to have several scales -- one for portions and and one for weighing things like yeast and salt, and bigger ones for things like flour and meats. Now 11# is sufficient and this is still accurate enough for yeast and salt.
... Okay, so it's plastic instead of yuppie glass and chrome. It's accurate and well designed -- not heavy, temperamental, or hard to clean. It just works.
... Oh, and it doesn't use strange batteries (regular old AA batteries so you don't go into conniptions when you need replacements)

Ultra Thin Professional Digital Kitchen Food and Nutrition Scale Review

Ultra Thin Professional Digital Kitchen Food and Nutrition Scale
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update: I now feel that this scale is too flaky for me to use for baking. It's auto-off'd in the middle of my adding ingredients one too many times, and today I tare'd it after adding something, walked to the sink to get water, returned a few seconds later, and it read "-178g" rather than 0. I re-tare'd it, but really this behavior just isn't ok. I'm going to replace it with a model that has an ac-adapter available, perhaps a My Weigh KD-7000, or an Escali 136DK, so that it doesn't auto-off in the middle of things. (I'm not wandering off and leaving it alone when it switches off like this - I'm actively adding ingredients, if perhaps not quickly enough for its liking if I'm trying to accurately measure e.g. 20 more grams of water.)
[original review follows]
I bought this scale to use for measuring ingredients for making bread. It's working really well for that - seems accurate (based on my measuring other things in my kitchen that I knew the weight of), and has plenty of room for me to be able to have a large mixing bowl on it and still be able to see the display. Here are things that I think could be a bit better:
(1) the auto-off after inactivity time is set a little too short for me - if I've added some ingredients and wander off to get more, it sometimes turns off before I get back, which is annoying if I'm not sure how much of an ingredient I've got in there - I need to be vigilant about making sure I know before I wander off. I can always weigh it again, but if I've tared it and not remembered how much I've tared, I could be losing information.
(2) I wish it registered new weights a little bit more quickly as I'm adding them (e.g. when I'm adding flour or water a little at a time to get up to a certain weight, I sometimes go over because it's a bit behind the amount I'm adding - I need to add ingredients pretty slowly to compensate. I don't know if this rate is standard for kitchen scales of this type, or if it reflects some sort of engineering compromise needed to keep the scale so thin.
(3) My old scale only had 2 units, grams and ounces, to cycle between. This scale has the same two, but duplicates them with "volume" measurements (cubic ounces, and mls). But it doesn't measure volume, just weight, so these measurements duplicate grams and ounces, and mean you have to press more times to cycle between the two, instead of just toggling between 2. Minor annoyance.
Nonetheless, this scale is more precise than my last one, and much smaller, with the consequence that I store it more conveniently located and use it more - overall I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others. I also like the fact that it displays the battery status.

Ozeri ZK011 Precision Pro Stainless-Steel Digital Kitchen Scale with Oversized Weighing Platform Review

Ozeri ZK011 Precision Pro Stainless-Steel Digital Kitchen Scale with Oversized Weighing Platform
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just to give you guys a little background, I bake my own bread and to do so, I need to weigh the incredients rather than using a volumetric measurement such as Cups or liters. I've been baking for a few years now and as a result, I've gone through quite a number of kitchen scales. But every scale that I've owned in the past had a flaw or a 'foible' so to speak: weight limit being way too low, hard to read display, flimsy weighing platform, inconsistency... the list goes on. Of course, some cost way more than others, but for the price I paid for this scale, it was perfect.
Weight capacity - It can weigh things up to 11 lbs, which is important for me. In case you're wondering why, having a high limit allows you to weigh incredients in bowls, which can be heavy at times.
Simplicity - One thing I've noticed, is that if a scale is more complicated, its just more things that can break. This scale is simple yet it has all the necessary functions such as Tare, and Unit change.
Cleaning - The stainless weighing platform makes cleaning an easy task. Things just wipe right off.
Durability - The materials and construction seem very sturdy and well built. It doesnt seem as fragile as some of my past scales, and a definate plus is the sturdy weighing platform.
consistency - A scale is meant to weigh things, and if a scale can't to do that right, then we're in trouble. But have no worries, this scale is on the dot every time. ( use a nickel, which weighs 5.0 grams exactly )
Overall, its a great deal and its been flawless so far. Oh, and yes I could recommend it to others!

Ozeri Touch II Professional Digital Kitchen Scale, Tempered Glass in Elegant Black Review

Ozeri Touch II Professional Digital Kitchen Scale, Tempered Glass in Elegant Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a catering Chef, I've been through quite a few kitchen scales throughout all the years I've been working. I've had expensive ones and cheap ones but this particular scale by Ozeri blows them all away. For its price, this scale is phenomenal in terms of quality and accuracy and definately my favorite.
Accuracy - I used a 50 gram calibration weight to test the accuracy and consistency of this scale and it was perfect. It was 50 grams every time, even when I repeatedly placed the weight on and off a few times. Also, the I used other weights to test the tare function which also worked perfectly. The weight capacity on this scale is also plentiful. At 11 lbs, you can practically weigh most dishes/bowls
style/looks - Though this wasnt at the top of my priority when shopping for a scale, this scale does have a very nice appeal. the entire top portion of this scale is a one piece tempered glass surface so its really compact. It appears that the material under the glass is black so it has a black glossy/shine look on the surface. One thing I should note is that since the top is all glass, it is easy to get finger prints on it, but at the same time, since it is all smooth glass, its very easy to clean. Another thing I should note is that the whole glass top acts as the weighing platform so its really easy to weigh large objects without a problems.
size - its relatively small, being almost the size of a half sheet of a regular peice of paper. Its also very thin; I'd say about the same thickness as an iPhone. Since the shape of this scale is thin, its really convenient to store anywhere, or even take around with you in a bag or purse.
other features - The screen that displays the weight is quite spacious and backlit so its very easy to read at a glance. Another thing that I had noticed over the years with other scales is sometimes, the screen is too hard to read, whether it be no backlight, poor viewing angle, or a weird shape that makes it hard to read the screen with a large bowl on it. However, this scale is very easy to read in any situation. Also, the buttons on this scale are touch sensitive, meaning you literally just tap your fingers against the glass surface to operate it. I find this to be very convenient in many ways, especially since there are no grooves for physical buttons, its easier to clean or wipe down.
Also, batteries are included ( 2 button cells), which is always a plus.
After a few weeks of use, this is now my favorite scale. In my opinion, no other scale in this price range provides the accuracy, features, and quality of this scale.

American Weigh 600g x 0.1 Digital Gram Coin Pocket Scale Mini Accurate Gold Review

American Weigh 600g x 0.1 Digital Gram Coin Pocket Scale Mini Accurate Gold
Average Reviews:

I bought this unit to weigh gold and silver coins and bullion. It's a very sturdy yet compact unit. It fits in a pocket or purse or any bag. It seems to be very well made and the scales are accurate.
When I first got the unit and turned it on, it didn't work. I discovered the batteries were loose. Actually, the batteries should be outside the unit when shipped.
In any case, while I've not owned them long, I'm very pleased with them. The price is exceptional and EZ Sales are just super to deal with.
I was a bit annoyed that the unit did not come with a calibration weight. Be sure and get the 500 gram weight for this model. You won't need it the first time you use the unit, but at some point, you will.
Highly recommended.
Update: After using the scales for checking coin weight for awhile now, I've noticed that it's not totally accurate. Even after calibration. A silver dollar should weigh 31.1 grams. I have them weigh from 31.1 to 31.5. But the troy ounce is always 1oz, as it should be.
There is a margin of error. So if you need extreme accuracy, you'll have to spend a lot more money. But if you want to be just quite close, this will do fine.

I received this item as a Christmas gift and I really like it. I've never owned a kitchen scale so have nothing to compare it to, but this item does what it says it does. I'm a little surprised people complain about the buttons. They are buttons that are flush with the unit so you don't get gunk in between or behind them. I think that's a great idea so even if I felt I had to push harder to make them work (which I don't feel I do), that would be fine by me. The first time I used the unit was this evening when I was repackaging meat I purchased in bulk. It was great to sort out individual pounds to be stored in the freezer. (The removable stainless plate that comes with this is great for this.) But what I didn't like was that if I left the scale for too long, it would automatically shut off. Now this is good and bad. Bad because if you are using it for awhile and you keep having to turn it on that's extra work. But it's good because it saves on the batteries (so I'd rather it shut off automatically and save the batteries). As another reviewer mentioned, the default weight is in grams. I personally will probably always want the pounds/ounces option so to have to change this every time is a little annoying, but again, not a huge deal. I really like how small and sleek the scale is. It's definitely something I will keep out on my counter. I would definitely purchase this and would recommend it. Thanks!
