Escali L600 L-Series High Precision Professional Lab Scale, Six Units of Measurements, Capacity 600 gram / Resolution 0.01 gram, Tare Feature, LCD Digital Display, Black

After a good deal of research, and after returning a competing product that seemed like a toy compared to this scale, I found the Escali L600 at Amazon for two-thirds the price asked elsewhere.PROS:-- Solid construction-- easy to use-- highly accurate,-- performs exactly as advertised-- good priceCONS:-- Might be a bit bulky for some users;-- 9-volt AC adapter recommended by Escali may be incorrect for this scale, which uses four 1.5 volt batteries totallng 6 volts, not 9 volts

I absolutely loved this scale at first. It was accurate, easy to use and portable. 3 months later and the only button that works is the on button. I can weigh one item, but then I have to wait for it to shut off automatically as I can weigh my next item. I don't have time for that. So disappointed. Don't waste your money.

This is a good scale. However, the first one that was sent to me was defective. The digital display was not functioning properly. Sent it back to Amazon for a replacement. The replacement arrived the next day. YOU have to love Amazons great customer service!One thing to keep in mind with this scale is the calibration weight required is a 500 gram calibration weight. Older models of this scale (prior to 2011) used a 400 gram calibration weight.

I used this scale every once in a while for years. It's accurate enough. Either got some water on it or put too much weight on it, and it stopped working correctly. I'd say it costs way too much for it's quality.

This accurate scale is useful for many things. I use it for cooking, arts and crafts and home projects. Measures from 600 down to 0.1 gram - also can measure in ounces, easily tares out for adding ingredients. Backlit and easy to read screen with a fairly large weighing surface for bulky bowls or paint cans. Runs on batteries but I recommend the 9-volt adapter for those times you can plug it in. Have bought several scales over the years and so far this one seems the most versatile and useful for the price.

Excellent, highly accurate scale. When I bake I always use the same plastic containers for measuring flour, sugar, etc., and you can tell how accurate a scale is by looking at the weight of these items before you tare. A good scale will always show the same weight, while with lower quality scales the weight will vary based on precisely where you put the item on the scale. This scale always measures the 113.6 gram container that I use for flour within one-tenth of a gram. Like all scales I recommend getting a calibration weight to ensure accuracy over time.

Amazon says this product has an item display weight of 3.00 pounds. It does not; its maximum display weight is about 21 ounces (600 grams to be exact.) Apparently Amazon has the item display weight confused with the shipping weight which is, indeed, 3 pounds.Amazon also says the product has a lifetime warranty. It does not. The literature that came with the scale says it has a one-year warranty.Amazon lists two other products that are frequently bought with the L600 including a 50-gram calibration weight. I will grant you that people, in fact, probably do frequently buy the 50-gram weight since it is listed on the page. But, if you buy the 50-gram weight it won't do you any good, except perhaps if you need a 50-gram paper weight. The L600 requires a 500-gram weight to calibrate it. The Amazon description fails to mention this.The product seems to be good but Amazon's description doesn't match the product; therefore, the 1-star rating.

This scale is pretty much perfect for what I need. I bought the scale to measure coffee for espresso shots as I want to get precise gram measurements. Having the 1/10 gram precision means that I know that I can reliably repeat the weight and not be off by 1-2 grams as I would if the precision was only in whole grams.Incidentally, my daughter said that it is exactly the scales that she uses in her high school science class.The "tare" feature is perfect as I can use any container with the scale. Also, if you turn on the scale with a container already on it, the scale sets to zero. This is a small thing, but it makes measuring even simpler. The design of the scale is simple and the quality seems good, especially for the money.
