After I took this scale out of the box and inserted the batteries the scale worked properly until I turned it off and then back on. It then displayed some gobbledygook until I moved the scale around or turned it over a few times after which it would work properly again until it was turned off and on. Every time I turned it on it would do the same thing. I then called Escali and, to their credit, the representative very pleasantly said it was defective and asked me simply to submit a warranty claim on their website rather than return it to Amazon and they would send me a new scale. I promptly did this and they didn't respond, so I e-mailed them again after a week or so to ask what was happening with my claim. Still I never heard back from them, so after about three weeks I just returned it to Amazon as defective. I wouldn't recommend this scale or any Escali product based on my experience with their poor customer service. Too bad, because the scale, when it was working properly, seemed to do a good job. Caveat emptor - avoid Escali products.

Very sensitive -- will weigh very small amounts. The "tare" function is indispensable. Good price for a good scale.

This scale replaces and older model Escali that used a 9 volt battery. My wife uses the scale twice a day to measure out food for our three dogs. I use it for cooking. The old scale would frequently need a new battery - preceded by a loss of accuracy - most irritating.
This scale settles instantly, doesn't shut down in the middle of multiple uses, and always remembers your choice of measurement.
For me the major improvement is the change to AA batteries. Compared to the old 9 volt, the two AA's last four times as long. The low battery indicator works, and has eliminated the frustration from inconsistent readings with a low battery.
Yes the display window is less tilted toward the user, but the scale is very tolerant of shifting the weight to the rear with no loss of accuracy.
I give it five stars for accuracy, battery life, convenience, style, and real value.

I've used this scale extensively for about a year, and found it extremely capable for a variety of tasks. For such a reasonably priced instrument it's incredibly accurate and consistent. You can weigh something that's just a few grams, then measure something relatively heavy, and then re-weigh the original lightweight item and get exactly the same weight. Many low-priced scales like this would retain some memory of the previous item which would/could effect future measurements.
As many others have noted, it's quick an easy to zero the scale to the weight of the empty vessel used to hold the item you're measuring. It's nice that you can also zero a container already holding a product, then read weights of less than zero as you remove portions of the product. For instance, place a 5lb. bag of flour on the scale, zero the scale, then spoon out 125 grams (1 cup) of flour for instance. It's a more accurate and consistent way of measuring baking ingredients.
I admit, I a bit on the anal side when it comes to measuring and weighing items, and this gadget feeds that yen. I tend to weigh items just out of curiosity, especially prepacked produce from the grocer. It might be comforting to some that the scales shown me that pre-bagged produce, 5 lb. bag of potatoes, onions, oranges, etc. tend to hold more than 5 lbs., at least that's true at our chain grocer. The scales also accurate enough to insure me that first class letters will make it through the mail without that extra security stamp.
A very minor quibble might be the intensity of the digital readout. Unless I have the overhead kitchen light on I have a little difficulty reading the numbers. I think they might be more readable if they were backlit like the digits on room thermostats usually are. Of course this would probably put a bigger load on the batteries and shorten their lives. But, overall this product exceeded all of my expectations by a wide margin. I'm surprised when any of the reviews I see here rate it any less than excellent.

I purchased this scale about 2.5 years ago. Before the first year was up, the digits were unreadable. I could not find the material to contact the company and it became junk.
