I Love This Scale

I love this scale. It allows a full 5,000 gram weight instead of the 2,000 gram weight limit available on most scales. I use my scale to keep track of the weight of my pets, and the higher gram limit really helps. I love that it weighs in both grams and pounds, as I can easily see what a 3,000 gram object weighs in pounds with just the touch of a button. It's small design allows it to be easily stored, yet the display is large enough to read easily.

Great scale

It's a great scale, sturdy and easy to use. The display is hard to read if you have something big on the scale, but that's not often a problem. My boyfriend insisted that a scale was necessary in the kitchen, and he uses it all the time now. I mostly have used it for weighing packages and keeping track of the weights of small pets.

As other reviews have said, the base is made of plastic; "cast iron black" is the color of the scale, not a description of its material. If you go look at other colors of this scale they have equally silly names, like "lily green" and "roasted tomato", it's just a little more obvious that those aren't things a scale might be made of.

Love this little mod piece of kitchen art

OK. I'm a sucker for pretty looking utilitarian things. I guess that's really an oxymoron, but I still fell for it.
I love this scale. I use it mostly for dyeing and knitting purposes. Once I've knit a wristlet I can weigh it and the rest of my ball of yarn to see if I have enough to finish! It's so useful for things like that! Plus having a scale around is indispensable for dyeing wool. Which I love to do.
Five stars for doing what it's supposed to do and for actually being used instead of sitting in my studio collecting dust!

A little less sturdy than I'd like

For starters, this is a pretty nice scale. The glass bowl is good looking, the scale is accurate and precise. However, calling it "Cast Iron" is a misnomer. It isn't made of cast iron, it doesn't look anything like cast iron, and it definitely doesn't weigh anything like cast iron. That's really my primary concern with the scale. It's a really lightweight black plastic, and easy to chip, nor does it have enough weight to really hold it in place on a slick counter top. If I had known the base material, I might have considered a different scale.

Good little scale

Works great. Very sensitive and accurate. Simple to use and is well made. It is not made out of cast iron though. That is only its color.

The Escali Avia stylish compact scale with user friendly readout feature; weighs in fractions and decimals. A dishwasher safe frosted bowl completes this designer scale. The Avia is available in Black and 4 warm colors.
