EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale: Good & not so good Apr 04, 2009
By Mimi I looked at many digital nutrition scales online before purchasing this one. Having Type I Diabetes and being a "carb" counter, it was time for an update and I kept going back to this one and was looking forward to using it. I thought I wanted all the bells and whistles it has to offer. While I like the general size and design for weighing, especially the ease of the tare feature, from then on it goes downhill for me. Visually, I am having great difficulty and my husband, who has excellent eye sight agrees - it is tough to read the LCD display which is considerably smaller than it appears online. Also, it gives so much information that I have found I'm having to ignore what isn't essential for me and fccus on what information I mostly need - carbs plus calories and fats or protein plus calories and fats, etc. You have to go through a progression of button pushing and data entry to get data beyond calories - i.e. carbs and fats. And, feedback is given via different window "groups" of 4 you have to scroll through to get what you want. It just takes so long my food is getting cold or my family impatient while I'm trying to get the information I need for dosing and recordkeeping. I find myself getting frustrated by the whole method as it is, for me, more laborious than I ever anticipated. Then, there is the option of entering information from the food label - one of the aspects I was especially interested in. Maybe it will get easier. That was a big selling point for me and I find the marketing misleading as I thought once I entered all the information from the nutrition label, it would add it to the memory "up to 99". Well, that is not how it works. It will keep items in its memory for counting for a day or week. But, it doesn't keep those products permanently in its memory that I can figure out. So, it's okay but not as user friendly as I thought it would be from all the positive reviews I read - and I do read them.

Fantastic Scale, Fantastic Company Jun 07, 2008
By Ken G I researched all the available nutrtion scales on the market and decided on the EatSmart. And what a good choice it's been. It's truly a great product and performs exactly as advertised, providing extensive nutritional information that's not available from any other scale. You'll be amazed at the discrepancies when you compare the actual weight of some foods with what's listed on the nutrition information printed on the package. For example, the information printed for spoon-sized shredded wheat is for a one-cup serving (52 grams). If you weigh the cereal, though, 52 grams is a lot closer to being 3/4 of a cup, not a full cup. Same for potato chips, pretzels and other irregularly shaped foods. And regarding the company that makes the scale: The scale that arrived didn't function properly. I e-mailed the company and within 20 minutes got a phone call from the vice president, who had me do some tests and quickly determined that the scale was defective. He said he'd send a replacement immediately. Sure enough, a new scale arrived as promised and it works perfectly. That's customer service. At any rate, I can't say enough good things about the scale. Like me, I'm sure you'll be pleased if you buy one.

Great tool for the kitchen of all people touched by diabetes Oct 09, 2008
By Manny Hernandez

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R10ZBZ1PIOM25H The two modes of operation (normal scale and calculate -where it determines the nutrition facts for a food based on the Nutrition Facts on the package) make this one a very versatile food scale.

Much better than the Salter 1450 Feb 23, 2008
By Gabriel Erbst So I had initially bought the Salter 1450 on the recommendation of a friend on an internet message board. While the scale worked fine, the database of foods was impractical (lots of packaged/junk foods) for somebody trying to maintain health with diabetes. Additionally, the search functionality (scrolling through) took more time than it was worth and just created headaches for me.
My local diabetes center recommended the EatSmart to me, and so far i have been thoroughly impressed. Seems to be a much more "professional" approach to this scale, with a database tailored specifically to whole foods and an easy to use interface. Best of all, the nutrition facts calculator is an additional feature that allows me to monitor net carbs with any packaged foods i happen to eat (this can be done with any food, so I make my own healthy 100 calorie snacks!) It also sits nicely on my kitchen counter and looks aesthetically pleasing, unlike the Salter that looked like a laptop and I was ashamed to have around. EatSmart was a little cheaper too so i saved a few bucks. Highly recommended

Great "Personal Nutritional Helper"!! May 22, 2008
By Ceinan

What a great tool for anyone either working on their weight or having nutritional restrictions of any type! The ability to figure the nutritional value of any food -instead of having to rely solely on a pre-set list- is one of its greatest features.
Amazing how different the totals are when you actually weigh your "approx. 11 chips" worth of junk food. According to the label they should give you, say, 15g of fat. In reality, that can range from 12g to a whopping 20g, depending on the size of the chips/bits you pick out of the bag.
There are a couple of reasons not to give it a solid 5, though I'd have gone for a 4 1/2, if possible:
1) In a kitchen that is not super-brightly lit, a bowl or plate overhanging the digital display makes it hard to read the results. If the light is not shining at just the right angle, you cannot read the numbers.
This could easily be solved by a slightly back-lit display, or -even better- a button which would "lock" the display; by "locking", I mean that it would freeze the display at the last item weighed, even though you remove the item. If that tech detail is added, please make it so that, even though the item is "locked", it does not fully lock the display, but lets you still rotate among the various nut. values/screens for that item (if the scale was in Normal mode, obviously.)
2) Another slight inconvenience: I'd love to be able to add up all the Nut. Values of all the items I am preparing. That is, if I am making a salad and counting calories or fat, I'd love to be able to put a bowl on the scale, add lettuce, measure the calories; add tomatoes, add those calories to the total, add the olive oil, add those calories.... etc, etc. This would turn it into the single most powerful and complete nutritional tool on the market. I'd pay more for this ability, of course. The company could still continue to offer the basic scale as is now, and then offer another, higher end one, with the above mentioned features.
3) The absolutely ultimate scale, the "One-and-Only-Wet-Dream-Nutritional Scale" would have a nifty little slot for a USB thumbdrive; This way, I could transfer all the data from my Super-Duper-Whhammodyne Scale to my computer, to an equally impressive and superb program, which would keep track of my daily, weekly... etc intakes.
But that is just a dream, I know..... why would anyone give us all we need in just one product, when we can just buy 3 or 4 items to have sit on our counters & desks?
