Summary: super
Comment: scale was just what I wanted for my daughter for christmas. Her and Her husband process their own deer, and this makes weighing so much easier. She liked it because she could use Her own bowl to measure or weight with. I would purchase it again for a gift.

Summary: Great Little Scale
Comment: This little scale is extremely easy to use, easy to clean and easy for me to read without my glasses! I am a professional cook who tests a lot of recipes. Ingredient proportions by weight are the most accurate--especially in baking. The 11 pound capacity of this scale makes it perfect for weighing small batch commercial test batches of dough (5 to 10 pounds). I use it for portion control recipes and portioning out bulk items. I also use the metric measure to translate European recipes.
For the home cook:
The scale uses a small footprint on the counter, it is easy to clean, super easy to use and comes in a bunch of sexy colors. No kitchen should be without a scale and the Escali is the best non-commercial scale I've used.
A bit of advice, as with all scales--handle it gingerly, don't bang it around--don't DROP it. Try to store it where you will be using it. The less a scale gets moved around the longer it lasts. This applies to any scale--mechanical or digital. But digital scales (commercial ones too) tend to be especially delicate when it comes to banging them around.

Summary: awesome scale
Comment: Switch from grams, to oz, to something-i-never-use-so-i-don't-remember...! Great scale, tare function works well, no matter how heavy the item being tared is! I just love it!

Summary: food scale fits the bill
Comment: After reading multiple reviews of various food scales available at a reasonable price I chose the Escali Primo Digital...I find it very accurate and easy to use. I especially like that it subtracts the weight of any plate used to hold the food. I also like that it is small enough to slide into a kitchen drawer.

Summary: Works, but not very good
Comment: I bought one of these to replace a sub-$30 scale that lasted about 8 months before the readout went flaky.
This one started by going into some unintelligible error code when I turned it on. If I rotated it 360 degrees it would read '0'. After about a month of daily use it comes on OK. OK unless I have my vessel on it, that is. My last scale, if I had the vessel on it when I turned it on it would start at '0'. This one starts at error code under this circumstance and I have to take the container off and restart, put the container on, and tare it out.
In addition, when I pour the commodity to be measured in the container the reading bounces around a little. If I want 20g I'll pour around the right amount and it will bounce up to 22 or 23 and then settle back to the real weight. If it settles to less than 20 I pour more in and go through the bounce cycle again. There is a couple of seconds waiting for each bounce to settle.
This scale works but it is annoying. Maybe my mistake is buying sub-$30 scales. I thought how hard can it be to make a little weighing mechanism with a led readout. When this one dies, which will probably be soon, I will try a more expensive scale.
