Kitchen & Housewares : Escali Primo Digital Multifunctional Scale
Rating: - Good for my use
The scale is ideal for my baking and brewing needs. When a weight is taken to the hundreth, it is not accurate. Just heavy breathing on it can change the weight reading. But for weighing flour and sugar for baking it is an economical piece of equipment. I like it.
Rating: - Super Scale!
I purchased a black scale:
Escali Primo Digital scale, 11Lb 5 Kg, 1 ea but any color would be a great choice if you need a super easy, fast reading scale for home use. It has a tare function (to subtract off the weight of a dish or container for example) so you can rapidly weigh what you need. Although likely used by most folks for food or postage, I needed this to weigh my pet birds! I just put a food dish with treats on the scale, tare it, and the little bird will sit there for the 2 seconds it takes to get their weight measured (grams or ounces).

This is a very easy to use scale. It is a very good basic scale that can handle up to 5KG. The weight platform is not removable, so beware of water getting underneath the plateform. That would be my only concern.
Rating: - Accurate and Easy to Use
I just decided to test the scales accuracy. I placed my wrist watch on it and then went to work and placed my watch on a scientific (accurate to the 4th decimal) laboratory scale. The Home scale read 140 grams the lab scale read 140.2 grams. That's more good enough for me!
In terms of use I found the scale to be extremely intuitive and easy to use. It runs on two AA batteries and has an automatic shutoff that clicks in after 4 minutes.
All in all well worth the price.

I absolutely love this little item. It doesn't take up much space. It goes off automatically after a few minutes. It seems to be very accurate. It makes dividing my homemade bread dough a whole lot easier. I love the fact that it will calculate using any container to hold the ingredients in with a press of the button and give me the weight of the food only. Very glad I purchased it.
