Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale - Professional Food and Nutrient Calculator
Customer Review: Great scale for food and small mail, with a 2 year warranty!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this scale for approximately 6 months, and it has been a Godsend. I am a Type 1 diabetic and practice portion control thru carbohydrate (CHO) counting. It has made it so much easier, and accurate than using a measuring cup for my cereal in the morning, and for counting things that I would otherwise have guessed on, such as pretzels. My partner and I even use it when we buy a bulk meat or other foods, and need to divide it into even portions for zipper bags to freeze for later use.
It has so many uses, that I even use it to weigh my letters, so I can print my postage at home on the USPS Website, and not even stand in line or fill out forms at the Post Office. You don't even need special labels, you just print on paper and tape it on, putting clear tape on everything except the BARCODE Although if you are going to be using it for this a lot, I would recommend you get the half page Avery labels meant for shipping this way. Also, if you have heavy items, I suggest you get a dedicated postal scale. But for large envelopes and small boxes, it is a FANTASTIC convenience item.
Furthermore, I recently had an incident where the scale failed for no apparent reason. I tried replacing the batteries, and doing everything to reset it, but nothing worked. The electronics must just have given out. However, the scale has a long warranty (2 years, "bumper-to-bumper"), so I emailed the manufacturer, and the owner himself, Bill, emailed me and told me not to worry about even sending back the faulty scale, he would get a new scale out to me forthwith. He sent one promptly via FEDEX! You cannot ask for better customer support than that! I do not know if he can do this for everyone, but his customer support via email has been superb, and he backs his product 100%.
I investigated many scales when I was searching, including the Salters, because I wanted the ability to store foods for later calculation of CHO, so I did not have to enter the CHO/OZ or GM every time. However, the scales that perform this function are only capable of calculating 1 serving at a time. With the EatSmart scale, you just put your container on the scale, press TARE (to zero it out), throw on a handful of pretzels (Can you tell that I like them?), input the CHO/g or oz. and get the CHO amount. With the Eatsmart scale, you can do this, but NOT with ANY other, and believe me, I researched the heck out of them! The only thing I wish that the EatSmart would do is store food CHO/serving size (OZ or GM) for foods you commonly measure, so that you could recall it later without having to enter it every time you put a food on the scale. By the way, for measuring serving sizes, if you have the GM and OZ serving size, use the GMs, it is more accurate. You can view some video demos of the scale by going to eatsmartproducts dot com / demo dot php [Replace the "dots" with . and remove the spaces.]
For what it's worth, I don't even try to use the scale to calculate my CHO. I just use a calculator and put as much food as I want on the scale, divide the grams on the scale (say 326g) by the serving grams (56g) to get a serving number, e.g., 5.8 servings, and then multiply that by the CHO per serving (23g) to get my total CHO amount (~134g CHO) for insulin dosing. (Although the scale does these calculations for you if you enter the serving data, I have not yet learned how, so I stick to my "old" ways.) [Also, as an aside, these numbers are just for demonstration purposes only. I would never eat that many carbs at one sitting!]
It is a beautiful scale, just the right size to fit on your countertop, above the microwave, or even a drawer. If you want it to sit out though, it looks great! I cannot say enough good things about this scale.
I hope this helps you choose your nutritional scale. Happy hunting!
