Review on 🍽️ EatSmart Precision Elite Scale: 15 lb. Capacity, UltraBright Display & Stainless Steel Digital Kitchen Scale - Silver, 1 Count Pack by Mia Smith

For two days, I really love this scale. I have looked through many descriptions of the different scales for sale at Revain and understood the differences. Capacity. Although some of them have a weight capacity of 11 pounds, the extra 4 pounds gives you peace of mind that you won't overload the scale. 2) They are made of stainless steel including the platform. If you look at a lot of other scales, they might say "chrome finish" or "silver color" and they look like they're metal, but they're actually plastic. Stainless steel offers more comfort, such as B. additional loading capacity. 3) It weighs in grams, ounces and pounds and easily switches between the three. Before you ask, if you set it to grams, the display will automatically switch to kilograms/grams when it exceeds 999 grams (so 1078 grams will show as 1k78g) and will also switch to pounds/ounces when the weight is 16 or ounces more. Setting it to pounds will show ounces in decimals (fractions of a pound) instead of ounces. I assume it does the same for kilos, but I rarely weigh anything in kilos so I haven't tested it. 4) The smallest unit of measurement is 1 gram. For me, that's a stroke of luck. I weigh and measure my food for several months and prefer portioning by weight rather than volume. In other words, I'd rather weigh out an 80-gram serving of fruit or veg than figure out how much chopped lettuce fits in a measuring cup. Many packaged foods list serving sizes in grams rather than ounces, which is interesting considering we don't use grams in the US. I used to pull out my phone and open the conversion app to find out how many ounces make a serving size, but now I just switch the scale to grams and that's it. Many nut and fruit/nut combos list the serving as 30g or 1 oz, but I actually have cereal that says the serving is 53g. Now I can just weigh it quickly and not worry about it. 5) It uses ordinary AA batteries, which is sooooo convenient. 6) It is sensitive to weight changes when a small amount is added. On my old scale, I weighed my cat's medicine and it had to be exactly 0.5 oz. It got to 0.4 and I added and added and added and it was still reading 0.4 and suddenly it was reading 0.7. So I read a little and then a little more and then a little more, you know. The EatSmart scale reads to within 0.05 oz, so it's much more accurate than my old scale. 7) It's a decent price. At around $37, it's not cheap, but it's not cheap due to its durability (and it's a very slim and beautiful product) and the fact that you can use a fairly large bowl or even a large plate without the LED display turning off to lose sight. worth the extra money. And it's not as expensive as some of the fancier ones priced at $60 or more. A little remark. The LED display is a little sluggish to respond to button presses, but the timing takes some getting used to. On the other hand, the display is quite large and bold. Buttons have icons, not labels. So if, like me, you're, um, mature enough (read: old) to remember when we don't need graphical icons to tell us something should be, you might just check the user manual. The button on the left is a unit switch (grams, ounces, etc.) and the button on the right is both an on/off switch and a tare button. or a bowl on the platform and press the power button. The platform resets to 0 so you only weigh what you put on the plate. The tare button works whether you insert the plate before or after turning the instrument on. bottom line. I like my new scale.
