Question: Is the type of AA battery critical? Original battery says Extra Super, replaced them with Alkaline and it won't work. Said "LOW" just before it quit.
Document: (for the kitchen use, of course)*UPDATE*(Feb-05-10)The original cheap batteries started to leak about a month ago. I replaced them with NiMH rechargeables instead of another set of Duracells it came with. Some battery operated gadget don't accept rechageables but this one does. It's been a month since I replaced them and they work just fine.
This scale is still going strong after purchase on Amazon10 years ago. It is used daily under both gram and ounce settings depending on package serving sizes.A must have for portion control of all type of food. The scale is simple to use and very accurate. The battery has been replaced one time since purchase.Thank you, Escali for a great product. Ordering another today as a bridal shower gift.
I am quite pleased with this scale... Unlike my other small digital scale, each time you put the same item on it, you get the same reading... The ounce/grams button on top is a great feature. It takes an act of congress to switch the other one...I also like that it uses AA batteries instead of the large button battery.Since my husband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I use it daily to weigh his portions for carb counting.
So much cheaper and less wasteful (with all that packaging for 100 calorie packs.) ----UPDATED----While my original Escali scale from 2 years ago is still doing great, the extra for my office is NOT! After a couple of weeks, I kept getting an "out2" message.
Easy to use, easy to keep clean, and the battery life is tremendous. I don't think I have ever replaced them in 4 years, and I use the scale several times a week!
There are some with a lot of extra features and whistles and bells that you will use once for fun and then never again. But for those who are actually doing some work in their kitchen, this functional little fellow has exactly what you need.The "tare" feature lets you zero out the weight of the container for when you are measuring in bowls and such. It is compact, which is important if your kitchen isn't huge. Durable which means it is going to do its job for a long time.
I work in a restaurant and use this model Escali 5 days a week. I recently replaced the batteries for the first time even though I wasn't having any problems. I just thought it HAD to be time to change them soon and I NEED this thing so I didn't want to wait for it to fail. Never had any problems.
Almost had this for three years now, still on original battery. Still weighs a nickle at 5 grams. I only wish it were bigger or where you put your item to weigh was taller so it would be easier to see the LCD.
this scale is lightweight and can easily stay on a counter or fit in a drawer. It is in grams or ounces. After an item is weighed you can zero the scale and just weigh the next item into the same container. The battery seems to last a long time before needing to change it. I am so pleased with this scale, that after it broke after many years of continuous use, I replaced it with the same scale.
OK, so it's a kitchen scale. I want it to be easy to use, and it is. I'm very happy with it.However, I'd like to add that this scale has an extra feature that many digital scales lack: The ability to work with negative measurements.Imagine that you have a canister full of flour, and you wish to measure out six ounces: Just set the container on the scale, zero it, and start scooping.
Answer: Shouldn't matter. I have rechargeable AA's in mine and it works fine.
