Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Escali 136DK Alimento Stainless-Steel Top Scale
Customer Review: Why to get this instead of a cheaper scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this scale and I like it.
I had a cheaper digital scale, and it was annoying in some ways that the Escali Alimento has fixed.
The cheaper scale didn't have an AC adapter. You had to use batteries, and it's annoying when they run low in the middle of weighing, having to recharge them, etc. It shut off after 3 minutes of non-use, and that causes problems. Sometimes I would spend too long chopping veg's or have to do something else, and it would turn off and lose the weight. I had to touch the scale now and then to keep it from shutting off. Having to cater to the vagaries of an appliance isn't fun. I bought the Escali Alimento with the AC adapter, and it turns off only when YOU are finished using it and you turn it off. If you're using batteries it has an automatic shutoff.
The Escali Alimento gives you a choice of ounces, pounds and ounces, digital pounds and grams. Which is nice, because you don't have to use a calculator to convert pounds and ounces to digital pounds, etc. My cheaper scale had fewer options for the weight units.
The weighing plate on the Escali Alimento is detachable. So you can take it off to clean it. With my cheaper scale, the weighing area didn't come off, I risked getting water into the interior of the scale. This is maybe why it starting acting weird after a while. So a scale with a detachable plate will tend to live longer.
The Escali Alimento has covered buttons. So food or liquids aren't going to get in around the spaces around the buttons, and maybe damage the scale. My cheaper scale didn't have covered buttons.
So this is why you may want to get a higher-end scale, and buy online, because local stores have cheaper scales.
The only negative I can see about the Escali Alimento is that the body of the scale is covered by a grey plastic shell, which is obviously trying to look like metal and obviously isn't. So it doesn't look as nice as it could.
