I would prefer to write this review after some time has passed, but I want to make sure I get my thoughts out here early on.
This is my third kitchen scale. I bake all my own bread at home and good baking requires weighing the ingredients rather than volume measuring.
This scale feels very light which made me nervous at first, but I've used it for three weeks now, through a lot of baking over the holidays, and my concerns seem out of line.
This scale fits all my needs. Here is what I look for:
1. CAPACITY - AT LEAST 10 LB (this has 11 lb, or 5 kg). This is required to be able to tare out a glass bowl which can weigh near 5 lbs empty. 11 lb is still borderline when I'm making bread in a 6 qt kitchenaid bowl, but I just weigh ingredients separately in another bowl if it becomes a problem.
2. PRECISION - DOWN TO 1 GRAM - Another scale I have was only good to 5 grams and, although this was probably good enough, it drove me nuts not to be able to go down to 1 gram
3. STABLE PLATFORM FOR VESSELS -- My previous scale had a platform that sat on top of a pillar and eventually came detached. After that it was a balancing act to weight anything
4. ORDINARY BATTERIES -- I liked my old scales fine, but it drove me crazy that I had to keep buying overpriced CR2032 batteries for the things. These batteries don't last long and cost too much to replace. I can't figure out why they use these "button batteries" rather than the more common higher capacity AAA, AA, C, D, etc cells. It's not like these scales are micro-sized. In any event A BIG BIG PLUS for this scale is that it uses standard batteries! Don't sell this point short.
5. PRICE -- $50, $30, $70 for a scale to do this is crazy. the circuitry in these things is cheap. It's not rocket science. All these scales that have "features" are a waste of money. This scale does what needs to be done for $20.
6. FEATURES -- Zero the scale, read negative numbers, switch between metric and English weights, tare a bowl....that's it...that's all you need. All the rest of it is a waste of money and a further chance for failure. this does what is needed and no more.
7. EASY TO READ -- big numbers. this scale is good....Not so good about this scale (and the ONLY problem I have so far) is that big bowls tend to cover the read out a little and make it hard to pick up the weight. So far it hasn't been a big deal, but it can be a slight annoyance.
BOTTOM LINE:
This scale gets 100% on items 1-6 and about 50% on item 7 for a 93% grade overall...enough for me to give it 5 out of 5 stars.
The only remaining unrated item is DURABILITY....I'll report back in a year. My old, $50 scale only lasted 3.5 years. I'm betting this one goes at least that long...plus I won't be forking over for new button batteries every month and a half.
Pleasantly suprised! Great value and highly recommended December 8, 2008

I bought this scale not expecting all that much given what I paid. Arrived promptly and I have been very happy with my purchase to date. The scale leaves a small blueprint on my counter (although I put away between uses) and has a nice overall look. As a chef I needed a scale with a long-delay before the scale auto-turnoffs because I often go minutes between weighing food and writing down my recipes (plus i get easily distracted). I found the three minute auto-turnoff feature to be as advertised, which as a feature alone has made the scale worth the money.
Accuracy is also very impressive for such a little scale and the auto-zero feature is a must as I typically will be adding ingredients in a large bowl. While the weighing platform isn't huge, it certainly gives me enough room to get the job done. Weighs in both grams and ounces (also nice) with a button on the top of the scale to switch between units. My last scale required me to flip the unit over and press a button which was time consuming and annoying. The scale also turns back on in the same unit as I shut the scale off in, which is another well thought out feature. My last unit default back to grams every time i turned it off which was completely impractical for me.
Highly recommended.

I use it almost every day and love it very much!
Pros:
1. accurate and precise to .05 ounce / 1 gram increments, that is important for me;
2. tare (zero) function, very convenience for cooking and baking;
3. just needs 2 AAA batteries, save money on batteries;
4. reasonable price.
No cons so far.
Highly recommended!!
Impressive features for the money December 10, 2008

So let me start this review by saying I think this is the perfect scale for any home chef. I have been impressed by the features that this scale has versus ones I have had in the past, especially at this price point. And as both a home chef and diabetic, I have been weighing my food fairly continually for almost 20 years and gone through my fair share of scales.
The big benefits in my mind:
1) Capacity - The scale weighs up to 11 lbs, which for a unit this size is already impressive. What really got me was the accuracy of the scale at high weights when i had a full bowl of ingredients on there. This is where my last Salter scale was very weak, and that one only went to 6 lbs.
2) Rubber Feet - On a plastic scale I cannot under state how important this one is to me. My old scale slid across my granite counter top and I lost more than one recipe to accidental spillage. Simple thing but invaluable.
3) Unit Button - The button to switch measurements is ON TOP of the scale. Prior scale I have owned had a little button underneath the scale. There was nothing more infuriating than having food on the scale and having to turn it over to switch measurement units.
The LCD display on the scale is also nicely angled so its crisp and easy to read when you stand over a counter. Compact and easy to clean. Wouldn't even think about buying another scale brand again. A+
Great scale - Great price January 9, 2009

I've been wanting a digital scale with a tare function for quite a while, so I was more or less familiar with the features that are important to me and how well it is layed out for ease of use.
I am very happy. From the large digtal window to the tare function/off -on switch and weight window,some real thought has been put into it's design.
I had only one concern before I received it, that it was too small. I had worried unnecessarily. We are very short of counter space so small is also a major concern. It takes up very little counter space, a big plus for me.
To alleviate my fears of the scale being too small I took my largest bowl, 10" and I had no problems. (It could have gone further).
My Salter 11 pound spring scale (also a very good scale in my opinion),was out so just for fun I took the last weight that was on the EatSmart and dropped it on the Salter. Although the Salter had not been zeroed in four days, it and the EatSmart were in lockstep!! That sounds good until you compare their $$$$$$ cost, features,ease of use, accuracy possible and counter space required (the Salter is a monster),EatSmart is the way to go. I'm just glad Iwas ready because the EatSmart is a real value.
