Customer Reviews of Escali Cibo Nutritional Scale
Customer Rating:  Summary: Weigh your portions and lose weight Comment: My wife decided that she wanted to lose weight for our son's wedding. Her doctor's program including weighing portions to better calculate calories. This was the unit that her doctor recommended, and Amazon provided the pricing that I preferred. The weight came off and this scale now has a permanent spot on our kitchen counter. Being an engineer, I especially like the way that this scale quickly weighs the plate or food container that you plan to use, then weighs the food. Customer Rating:  Summary: No Custom Foods Comment: This seems like an overall good scale but as far as I can see, it doesn't allow for inputing custom foods. Most others allow 99 foods to be memorized. I checked out the online manual and the manufactuer website and didn't see this feature listed. If I am wrong please let me know because this is the only reason I did not go with this scale. Customer Rating: Summary: Very flexible nutritional scale Comment: This nutritional scale is a very easy way to measure carbohydrates (for diabetics) and other nutrition information from a wide variety of foods. The scale "zeros" out a plate (or other food), then you weigh the food, enter a code associated with that food, select the nutritional information desired, and read off the results. The booklet is very sturdy and wipes clean. Foods are sorted alphabetically, which makes them very easy to find. The booklet includes 999 foods, including both individual ingredients (e.g., milk, raw apple, white bread) and prepared foods (e.g., blueberry muffins, french fries, pizza). This is very useful when eating at a restaurant, eating prepared foods with no nutritional lables, and when you're in a hurry. Most foods we wanted were either listed or a similar food was listed. I compared the scale's estimates with those from a booklet and package nutrition, and found these estimates quite accurate. The scale is very easy to carry with you in a bag: about 2" tall and 9" diameter. We bought this scale about a year and three months ago. It worked very well for about a year. Then, the nutrition and weight readings started degrading. These values are now very inaccurate, to the point of being useless. Low bateries does the same thing, and is not obvious (i.e., the display does not indicate low batteries). Mind you, we used this scale every day, and took it with us to numerous locations, and probably dropped it; so our scale got heavy use for one year before breaking. The competing digital nutrition scale I've examined list only raw ingredients for their 999 codes, which is only useful when cooking from scratch at home. While I wish my Escali scale lasted longer, I was satisfied enough with its performance to buy a replacement. Customer Rating: Summary: Good compact scale, easy to use Comment: I purchased this as an upgrade from my current non-digital type kitchen scale and so I could calculate carbohydates on foods. Easy to use and very compact. Customer Rating: Summary: A Godsend! Comment: I was recently diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. This scale has made my life so much easier while trying to deal with this pregnancy complication. It works as advertised , I am so glad that we made this purchase.

Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Dryer When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Keep in mind that gas dryers are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 25 cents in a gas dryer. Choosing Appliance -> Ladles Look for ladles that are made of one piece of stainless steel rather than a handle and dome which are spot welded together. With use, spot welded ladles tend to come apart. Buy several differnet sizes. Escali Cibo Nutritional Scale
