Review: 5/5 stars - accurate, simple, and reliable kitchen scale that offers excellent everyday value - I bought the Escali Primo as a straightforward, no nonsense kitchen scale for daily cooking and baking, and it does exactly what it promises. It is light, compact, and quick to respond, with clear readings that are easy to see even when using larger bowls. The controls are minimal but well thought out, with a reliable tare function and simple unit switching between grams and imperial. For portioning ingredients, weighing flour for baking, or general kitchen use, it feels precise and consistent. The build is plastic rather than premium metal, but that keeps it easy to clean and practical for everyday use. It does not feel fragile in normal handling, and the sealed buttons give some reassurance against spills. Using standard AA batteries is also a plus compared to coin cells. It lacks advanced features, but accuracy, speed, and simplicity are its strengths. For the price, it represents very good value and is a dependable tool that quietly earns its place on the counter.
Review: love these - upgraded from some salter mechanical basket scales to these and it was the best twenty odd quid I have spent. They look better, are smaller/neater, more accurate and easier to use. Since I use them every day the quality of life improvements made them worth every penny.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this scale beep at all during power up or operation? my dog hates beepos and runs from the room when i use my current scale. Thanks**
A: No it does not beep.  And it is amazingly accurate.  I tested with nickels which weigh 5 grams each and it consistently showed that amount unlike my two other (Taylor and Kamenstein) scales.

**Q: Hoe many minutes of inactivity does it take the scale to auto shut off?**
A: The Primo scale will turn off after four minutes of inactivity to help conserve and extend battery life.

**Q: Will this scale readout in hundredths of a pound?  For instance .25 instead of 4 oz?**
A: Unfortunately no. It gives three options: ounces, grams, or pounds and ounces. It does resolve the ounces to 1/100's of an ounce when in the ounce mode, and 1/10th of an ounce in the pound/ounce mode. It is extremely sensitive and repeatability is almost always perfect.  I have compared it to known weights and found it to be extremely accurate.

**Q: What is the weight range capacity for this scale?  Other version say up to 18 oz. or 11lbs.. this one doesn't specify.**
A: It is written on the back of my Escali  : Model:P115CHCapacity:5kg./ 175oz.I never test the max. capacity and I can say 175 oz. is really really good enough for everyday use in kitchen and normal small parcel for mailing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kitchen scale with all the essential functions via easy to use buttons. Easy clean as well.
*by M***Y on 9 July 2025*

This is a great scale with all the essential functions via easily accessed buttons. It does imperial and metric with a simple toggle and the tare (reset to zero) function is really handy. Also easy to clean.
