Escali Primo Digital Food Scale Multi-Functional Kitchen Scale and Baking Scale for Precise Weight Measuring and Portion Control, 8.5 x 6 x 1.5 inches, Tarragon Green

Five years old and it is accurate, obviously durable, easy to use, well worth the money. Easy to clean. Never lets me down. Nice looking, easy to read display, easy to switch from oz to g and to zero out. Perfect. Compact.

Bought and returned a similar scale at a club store. It was trash. Different position on the scale gave different reading. The Esacli is very accurate. Almost every part of the scale gave the same reading. Easy to use out of the box. It might not look fancy but it’s functional. Good product.

the only kitchen scale i'll ever buy. easy to use, easy to wipe clean, super accurate. it's lightweight and small enough that you can store it pretty much anywhere in your kitchen. it easily switches back and forth from grams to ounces. the colors are so great. I bought one when i still lived at home with my parents, and i left it with them when i moved out because they used it everyday. when i needed a scale for my own house i didnt think twice about purchasing this same scale again. i use it every day, multiple times a day. i've had this one for probably 2 years and i've never had to change the batteries.

Nice and accurate. My old scale had trouble with the grams increments - just was not as sensitive as I needed it to be. This one is sooo much better for small amounts. The power button is a little annoying but everything else seems to be fine. It is plastic and feels rather flimsy compared to the older scale I replaced it with but it seems to work fine and still looks like new.

I got this scale for my brother for a gift. He claims it's one of the best and most used gifts I ever got him. I of course visit him a few times a year, and had previously gotten a similar scale for myself, so I knew what he was in for. It's incredibly easy to use. The buttons are legible and clear. It's sharp in the various colors it comes in. And I like how the "scale" part is elevated above the body, so if you place a bowl on it, it's *much* easier to read than the scales that have the screen on the same level as the scale portion. He uses it to weigh out his coffee every morning. I personally use mine mainly to weigh out flours for baking. It's an indispensible tool in the kitchen, looks great, and is reliable and long lasting. And a fantastic value.

Very nice little scale. Easy to use and works great!

The Escali Primo Digital Food Scale (8.5 x 6 x 1.5 inches, Chrome) is, without a doubt, the best investment I have made for my kitchen in years. It is a sleek, reliable, and incredibly user-friendly device that lives up to its "multi-functional" billing, making it indispensable for both serious bakers and those focused on precise portion control. Precision and Accuracy The core function of any scale is accuracy, and the Primo excels here. Whether I'm weighing out 10 grams of yeast for a delicate sourdough or measuring 5 pounds of meat for a large recipe, the readings are consistently fast and dead-on. This level of precision is crucial for baking consistency, eliminating the guesswork that often comes with volume measurements. For health and fitness enthusiasts, its reliability for portion control is excellent, allowing for accurate tracking of meals down to the gram or ounce. Design and Usability The chrome finish is modern, fingerprint-resistant, and wipes clean easily—a huge plus in a busy kitchen. Its compact dimensions (8.5 x 6 x 1.5 inches) mean it doesn't hog counter space and tucks away neatly into any drawer. The controls are simple, featuring only two large, intuitive buttons: one for power/unit change and the other for the essential Tare function. Speaking of Tare, this feature is lightning fast and works flawlessly. I can zero out the weight of a bowl or container in an instant, and then continue adding ingredients without complication. Switching between units (grams, ounces, pounds, etc.) is instantaneous and simple, catering to recipes from around the globe. Multi-Functional Reliability I use this scale for everything: Baking: Measuring flour and sugar by weight for perfect cakes and breads. Coffee: Weighing beans and water for pour-over coffee. Meal Prep: Ensuring balanced and consistent portions for weekly meals. Mail: Even occasionally weighing small packages for shipping! The Escali Primo is the definition of kitchen dependability. It’s tough, easy to clean, highly accurate, and designed with simplicity in mind. If you’re looking for a top-tier digital scale that is stylish, precise, and won't break the bank, look no further than the Escali Primo. It is a five-star essential.

I've been dieting--either to lose weight or maintain it--for the last several years. I count calories and, in order to that effectively, I weigh everything I eat. I have tried a number of digital food scales during this time, and this Escali is, hands down, my favorite. It has many virtues. It's accurate. It can weigh in grams, ounces or pounds+ounces at the push of a button and can switch between them while weighing. It has a large, easy to read LCD display. It can weigh up to 11 pounds. It has a generous auto-shutoff that resets its timer if the weight changes, so it will never cut off in the middle of weighing something. It can work with negative weight, so you can zero the scale with a container full of something and then remove the amount you want. It can measure to the nearest 0.05 ounce, so if you want 2 3/4 ounces, you can get 2.75 instead of 2.6 or 2.7 ounces like many other food scales. It runs on ordinary AA batteries and you can use rechargeables if you like. It is quite durable. Mine is 3 years old and going strong. I see that some folks are saying that you have to use small plates on the scale's platform so as not to block the readout, but I find that it's very easy to use a dinner plate and just slide it back until I can see the LCD. The Escali's weighing platform is large enough that the plate won't topple over. Another complaint I see here is that it's hard to turn off. That's "user error," I think. You turn it off by pressing and HOLDING the on/off button for a couple of seconds. It will turn off. However, if you've just zeroed the scale a second ago by pressing briefly on the on/off and then try this procedure, it won't. I think that's where the confusion comes from. The issue described in the number one review concerning the scale automatically resetting its zero-point if you add very small increments of weight very slowly after setting it to zero is correct. If I "tare" the scale and then keep adding one popcorn kernel every few seconds, I can sneak several grams of them on to the scale without it registering a weight change. In practice I've never found this to be a problem. Once the weight is non-zero, this no longer occurs. So, if you wanted to weigh out, say, 25 grams of popcorn, you would begin by pouring 10 or 15 grams worth on to the scale to start, and from there, you're fine. You can then add one kernel at a time (if you are very patient) and you'll eventually get to a completely accurate 25 grams. It cleans up well, but you can't wash it in the sink. It isn't waterproof and if you run water on the thing it will get into the electronics and it won't turn on anymore. However, I did this once and found that if I just let it sit and dry out for a few days, it came back to life, as good as always! Dieting is hard. The Escali is not. Highly recommended.

Quality product from USA

This is a great kitchen scale. Most of my recipes are in weight and this scale is perfect. Accurate, goes up by small increments, lightweight and looks good. Does what it is supposed to do. Treat it well and it will last forever

C'est ma préférée. Elle est facile à utiliser, précise, et surtout, elle reste allumée longtemps (4mn), pour éviter de tout perdre en cours de préparation!!! Mais on peut aussi l'éteindre en un clic pour préserver les piles. Le bouton de commande réagit bien, contrairement à mon ancienne balance. Une valeur sûre.

These scales do all that I need. The measurements seem to be quite accurate too.

I have bought a couple of weighing scales and this has been the most robust, reliable and easy to use and easy to clean. It's a bit expensive but totally worth it.
