I enjoy baking and for a long time used a Salter Aquatronic scale -- weighing is truly the way to go! Still, the majority of recipes are written with volume measurements and this has always posed a problem to me. Unless I wrote all my conversions down -- which I did for a few favorite recipes -- I had to pull out all usual measuring gadgetry. This scale changed all that. The absolute most number of bowls I might use is two, but 98% of the time I can get away with just using one. Referencing the included laminated chart, you enter an ingredient's corresponding number, measure it out, hit the tare button and keep going. Usually I'll measure out the dry ingredients first, set them aside on some waxed paper, measure out the wet ingredients, then mix everything together in the same bowl. <br /> <br />Another unexpected bonus was being able to bake much more accurately. I found out one handblown glass measuring beaker I'd been using was unacceptably off. And of course you will have fewer items to wash. This scale's platform lifts off the base for easy cleaning. I didn't bother to get the AC adapter. My old scale used batteries and I only changed them once in 5 years, so I expect this Escali will have similar power usage. I've been using the scale for about a year now and cannot imagine baking without it. Rating: 5 / 5 The ability of this scale to weigh by volume was truly a revelation.

I'm impressed that although this scale has some fairly sophisticated features, it is still simple to use. You press just one button to get a basic weight measurement. Just another press and you can use the tare feature. Changing units is just a press of a very obvious button. The volume function (a very handy feature) doesn't get in the way of the simpler functions. As a designer myself, I can appreciate the thought that went into this product. I get annoyed when I see a product that is overly complicated and requires a user's manual to do the simplest thing. This produce was designed properly for easy use in the kitchen.

Easy to use keys. Nice big display. The volume function is kinda cool - you enter a code number from the included cheatsheet, and the scale automatically converts to cups-and-tablespoons as you weigh.

Since this scale was designed with the help from the folks at King Arthur Flour, that also affected my decision. It arrived well packed, with no significant damage to the shipping box. The box for the scale was fine too. However, when I removed the scale from the box the stainless top fell off. The top had become detached from the cylindrical shaft extending from the body. There was a good amount of some kind of adhesive on the top of the shaft but it apparently hadn't adhered very well to the top plate. Amazon made the return process easy, however they weren't able to send a replacement since they were out of stock. I haven't decided to order one again yet, based on my experience.
