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, Black

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.

I use this daily and have no complaints. It’s been very accurate, even with small things like getting the last bit of peanut butter from my spoon into my dish will alter it on a gram level. If you’re looking for something more granular than whole grams, this is not the scale for you. If you want an accurate kitchen scale for tracking food intake or even for baking/cooking, this is a fantastic option. I’ve used it daily since January (it’s now April) and still haven’t had to change batteries. I will say, I always turn it off after using it, so that’s something to keep in mind. It does turn off automatically but I’m not sure how much impact that would have on the battery life. Also love that if I place something on it before turning it on, it tares the scale automatically. It doesn’t do this with heavier things like a bigger salad bowl (about 1kg). In this circumstance, I have to turn it on, place the bowl on the scale, then tare. It works just fine, just adds an extra 5ish seconds to the process. A couple of things that would be nice to add to this is a backlit display and the ability to pull out the scale for wider surfaces like a plate. Overall, very pleased and would undoubtedly repurchase.

I know it's a little soon to write a fair review of this product (hence no rating for battery life or durability), but I'm really quite happy with this scale. I've recently made a lifestyle change and want to be able to weigh food portions quite frequently. Did a LOT of research, on Amazon and elsewhere, and found a lot of conflicting information and recommendations. Almost went with a couple of others (that may have been just as good) but finally pulled the trigger on the Escali Primo Digital. Very very pleased. Turns on instantly and off easily. The tare feature works quickly and excellently. I like that the display doesn't shut off in 15 or 20 seconds, as sometimes I'm dinking around with different things and I don't want it shutting itself off too quickly. (It does have an auto shut-off, but it's longer than other models I researched.) I've seen none of variability issues referenced by some other reviewers - it's been spot on, and it doesn't matter where I put the food. One note: It is excellent for bowls and small plates, but you'll struggle to see the screen with a full-size dinner plate. There is another product that features a pull-out display for just this reason, but the additional cost didn't seem worth it. 99 times out of 100, I don't think I'll need to weigh a full-size plate of anything.

I was looking for a compact digital scale with ounce/gram versatility and a tare function, so I gave this one a try. As it's a made-in-China generic which several brands silkscreen their name onto, I wasn't expecting much, but the price was low enough to make it disposable if it turned out to be junk. Surprise, surprise, I'm very happy with it. I've used it numerous times every day (I'm dieting, so I weigh everything) for a year now. It still works fine, it's accurate, it wipes clean with a damp sponge, it takes up very little counter space, and it's even still on its first set of batteries. It took a few tries to learn how hard/long to press the operating buttons, etc., but now that I'm used to it, it's a breeze. I took a star off because the battery door falls off, but reinforcing it with a piece of scotch tape solved that. The platform is small, so putting large things on it can block the display; cutting boards and 3-quart bowls work okay, but bigger than that probably wouldn't. All in all, this was an unexpectedly good purchase.

I purchased this Escali digital food scale in 2015 and after 5 years of almost daily use, the scale would no longer display the weight in ounces, only Kg would display. I contacted the manufacturer directly and explained the problem. They immediately told me they would be sending me a new replacement scale. I received the new replacement in less than a week and no cost to me. The scale is working excellent as of Dec. 2025 and I am very pleased with the scale and the customer service of Escali. In the future, when any of my other kitchen gadgets and equiptment need to be replaced, I will be replacing them with Escali brand products Thank you Escali for your great warranty and customer service.

Love this scale. I first purchased an expensive coffee scale, and it was the worst thing I've ever tried to use. This is so easy, looks great, and I'm happy that I don't have to recharge it.

beautiful scale, the face is easy to read, button easy to push. I love that it is so quick to set up and use. The numbers are actually large enough to read easily. Not too heavy for her arthritic hands. I've used it for letters and for measuring ingredients. I have had great use from the batteries. I pull them out between long inactiveness. appears accurate when I tested it, weighed different things that listed their wieghts.

This is actually my second one. My first one I left on the stove while my oven was on and it kind of got a bit wonky. So it was my own fault but I loved it so much. I'm replacing it. Could it be happier.

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.

This scale is exactly what I was looking for. It is light, very simple and easy to use and very easy to read the weights. The tare function works beautifully. The fact that it is plastic and not stainless steel is not a problem for me - the main issue is that it works well. The only thing that I can't attest to, is its durability. I've had other scales that work well for a short time and then something goes wrong. I'm hoping that this is not the case with this one. To date I highly recommend it.

Alta precisao para confeitaria. Mas nao para pesar de 0g a 10g. Mas acima disso muito precisa

The scale is responsive and the measurements are accurate, and that is what matters most. It does not have any fancy usability features (no lit display, no support for large tare), but it also has a price tag that reflects as much. The scale should really be good enough for the vast majority of users. A couple of downsides for me were the absence of the fraction of a gram, which is not a huge deal and the fact that the platform may be not large enough to fit the tare on some rare occasions. Overall - a very good budget scale, recommended for common use scenarios.
