In today’s society, everything is about now. With the advent of the internet, the rising generation is used to having information now. You can shop from your home, watch rental movies without ever going to the store, and even go grocery shopping from the comfort of your home. Various industries have tried to incorporate this feeling of instant knowledge into their products. One of these is the industry of weighing.

Digital scales have come a long distance over the years and have made many great leaps. One of the best inventions in this industry is the advent of the digital pocket scale. This product is extremely mobile; to the point that it can be carried in a purse or a very small bag or briefcase. There are many different kinds of pocket scales on the market today. We have taken reviewed some of them and we will be discussing one of these that is on the market today: the Escali Liberta Pocket Scale.

A pocket scale can be a very important and useful piece of equipment for many different professionals. Some people that utilize such devices include jewelers, collectors, gold buyers, geologists, medical/pharmaceutical professionals, and some on-site medical response teams. It is very useful for people who need to know estimations or even extremely accurate weights of certain items. Jewelers and collectors often use pocket scales when they are traveling or attempting to acquire items of value while not at their business. Certain on-site medical teams use these devices when mixing and compounding of pharmaceutical compounds is needed immediately.

The Escali company is a smaller manufacturer of various different kinds and types of digital scales. This particular scale is a digital pocket scale. Digital have the advantage over their analog counterparts due to their increased accuracy, smaller, more compact design, and increased ability to remain accurate.

This particular product has all of the above mentioned benefits attributed to the digital scale. It comes in 3 different maximum capacities and resolutions:PR50, 50g (.01g); PR100, 100g (.05g); PR500, 500g (.1g). With this choice you are able to pick the right resolution and maximum weighing capacity that you need in your specific use. It also comes in a convenient flip top design; similar to a flip phone. The cover is made of durable high density polymer plastic designed to protect the actual hardware of the scale from bumps, scraps, impact, and general damages. The hallmark of this scale is in the accessory that comes pre-packaged. It comes with a scientifically measured and guaranteed weight. This weight is made of a dense metal that is guaranteed to weigh a specific amount. This way, any time during the day or during use, you can re-calibrate the pocket scale in order to assure proper and accurate weighing during the duration of use.

Overall, I recommend any pocket scale that you feel comfortable with and provides the requirements that you need for your profession/business. I also recommend the Liberta Pocket Scale do to its ease of use, its protective cover and included weight, and also the overall accuracy of this scale. Additionally, it comes with a 5 year warranty that guarantees against defects and assures continued and satisfied use.

Product Review: Escali Body Mass Index Scale

In today’s world of fast-food, TV dinners, and macaroni and cheese, it is important to be aware of your body and your weight. In America, obesity and poor health has never been at a higher peak than it is in today’s society. Many headlines have stated that ‘Obesity is on the Rise’; it is true. Some sources estimate that obesity affects 30% of American adults. This number is absolutely outrageous. More importantly, obesity is one of the leading factors of many serious diseases and conditions. It is important that you take control of your own destiny and know your own health.

The body mass index system was established by Quetelet, a Belgian, around the 1840s. This has been a prevailing system that easily compares height and weight of individuals across social and political boundaries. The BMI is calculated based upon weight and height of the individual. An acceptable value is between 18.5 and 25. Once your BMI reaches the 25 to 30 range, you are classified as ‘overweight’. A BMI over 30 is then classified as obese. With this knowledge, we know that 30% of Americans have a BMI of over 30. This is a serious risk to our society as a whole and to each individual that is obese.

For this reason, Escali Digital Scales recently released a new digital scale that tracks this important piece of information for you: the Escali BMI150R. Upon input of your height, this scale will tell you not only your weight but also your BMI. It is also a tracking scale; meaning that it will keep track of your change and progress as you go along in your diet. It will track up to 10 individuals per scale so that your entire family can see their progress and see if they are progressing or digressing.

The BMI150R also comes with a remote monitor that displays your data. It can be detached from the scale and placed anywhere where it is most convenient for you. I found it useful because to put somewhere near eye level so that I did not have to bend over to see my weight or BMI, or squint to pick out the smaller numbers. This is a very useful feature for those of us who have some sort of impaired eyesight. The remote functions through the infrared spectrum so it is safe to use.

This digital scale also has a very useful hold feature that allows you to set off of the scale and it will still display your weight. The product also comes ready to use. Simply take it out of the package and it is ready to go.

As to the design of the scale, it is built extremely well. Not only will it last (and it has a 5 year warranty), but it will also spark up your bathroom. It comes in a very nice tempered white glass composite. So it will go in just about any arrangement of bathroom and can be easily hid from view, or left to stand out and compliment your bathroom. It is extremely easy to clean as it is merely a flat surface (without grooves or bumps, etc) and will continue to be a brilliant white throughout its life.

Overall, I would recommend the BMI150R as a good solution that will enable you to know your weight and a better measure of your health, body mass index.

Product Review Of Escali BFBW200 – A Body Fat Scale That Really Works

Posted by brigster103 under Bathroom Scales, Escali Digital Scales, body fat scale | Tags: , , , , |
No Comments 

An essential part of anyone’s diet is the knowledge of a starting place and a way to gauge your progress. Many people use a traditional weight scale in order to determine if they are adequately meeting their goals. Others use the more time honored method of looking at yourself in the mirror; if you see what you like, then you are doing just fine. For those of us that need a more ‘measured’ or logical approach, technology has joined with appliance companies to give us the body fat scale.

A typical scale tells us how much we weigh, either in pounds or kilograms. A body fat scale is a modified, or enhanced, digital scale that not only tells us how much we weigh, but how much of our weight is fat. Honestly, this is the true determining factor in weight loss. Are we losing fat? Or are we just losing whatever weight we can get rid of? Now, it is great to lose weight, period. But it is even better to lose the right kind of weight. Therefore, it is important that we have the tools necessary to make our diet not only effective, but the best diet for us.

There are many different body fat scales out on the market today. One of my favorite scales is the Escali BFBW200. I actually bought this scale and have tested it out for you. There are several things that are very important in a body fat scale. First off, it must be accurate. Any kind of scale that is not accurate is not going to be of any importance to us. We need accuracy. Second, it must be consistent. Along with accuracy, we want our results to be consistent throughout its use. We don’t want it to be accurate some of the time, and then start telling us the wrong data, or only tell us the right weight 1 out of every 3 times.

Third, we need a scale that gives us a few options: weight, body fat percentage, and body water percentage are some of the most important. Fourth, we need a scale that we are not going to want to hide underneath the toilet. We want something that will look good and that we will not be afraid of showing off.

The Escali BFBW200 has several of these features and was adequate enough that I would recommend it. First off, it is fairly accurate when compared to other scales and also is fairly consistent. I was impressed that it not only offered fat percentage readings, but also body water composition. I thought this was important because we can also lose a lot of water weight (which is not really going to help us in our quest for overall health benefits). So, this scale tells us what we need to know in a very easy and understandable way. It is not confusing nor does it offer too many options that we are not going to end up using. Finally, this scale looks good. There is no going around it. It does not detract from a beautifully decorated bathroom, it only enhances it. It is designed in such a way as to compliment a modern-looking style. It might not be the best for a bathroom with a ‘farm theme.’ But it certainly does well in most other settings.

Just remember, if you need something to find your weight, try one of many digital scales.
One I definitely recommend, is the Escali Body Fat Scale.

So, the other day my wife was watching some sort of Martha Stewartish show on TV. They were doing something with the kitchen, then the dining room, and then the bathroom. And my wife was sitting on the couch, with a notebook in her lap, jotting down notes. Something caught my eye when they were surveying the bathroom.

I then got up and went into our bathroom and saw that it was sort of bland and did not inspire (I don’t know if a bathroom is really supposed to inspire or not?). And then my eye settled on our old spring weight scale; and I decided it might be time for a change to that old thing.

I have been standing on my bathroom scale for right around 10-15 years, and the old thing keeps telling me the same weight. So, I did a little research over the week end and decided that I need something new. I don’t want to be told just my weight, but if I am in decent shape or not. Now, a quick look in the mirror can tell me, roughly, if I am in shape; but I wanted something that I could use to gauge myself, something logical and quantitative.

During my investigation, I reaffirmed the belief that muscle weighs more than fat and that there was something called bioelectrical impedance that actually works. What bioelectrical impedance does is it sends a small amount of electricity throughout your body and measures resistance (in ohms probably). It then uses this information with a complex formulation that tells you a decent estimate of your body fat percentage and can even tell you your body water make-up. These devices are usually found in workout gyms, doctors’ offices, etc.

But in today’s electronically laden society, bioelectrical impedance has made an appearance (and can make an appearance) in homes throughout the nation. The most common and useful device employed bioelectric impedance is the body fat scale. This bathroom scale not only tells you your weight, but also your body fat and body water composition. It tells you all of this in the matter of a few seconds. A body fat scale is truly intuitive.

Digital scales have always had a huge importance in the commercial industry, but only fairly recently have digital scales’ useful ingenuity been taken in the homes of normal consumers. Not only can a digital scale weigh, it can also calculate calories, calculate volume based on weight, track your diet, and above all, tell you how healthy you are (through fat percentage). The beauty of the digital body fat scale is that it tells us more than what we expect.

I was so excited about a body fat scale that I told my wife and we bought one. Not only are they extremely useful, easy to use, and practical; but they also turn your bathroom from a sub-standard 70’s room, and pushes it into the 21st century. Every room in the house has electronic devices. And now the bathroom takes a huge leap with a bathroom scale that is not just something you stand on, but one of those high performance digital scales that tells you what you want to know: the body fat scale.

Nutritional Digital Scale

Posted by brigster103 under Uncategorized
No Comments 

Ever been on a diet and counted calories? How long did that last? Did you carry around a book everywhere you went? or did you use an online estimator?

Counting calories is very laborious and tiresome, isn’t it? Digital scales again come to the rescue. That is why there is something called a nutritional kitchen scale. This is one of several kitchen scales that use a mathematical calculation and a large database to COUNT CALORIES FOR YOU!! All you have to do is put the piece of food on the scale and it will tell you how many calories that piece of food has in it.

Isn’t that amazing? I think it is. And that is why I recommend this nutritional kitchen scale for all of you who are on a diet and are very aware of your calorie intake. Remember - that in order to lose weight, you must use more calories than you eat. So, the best way to diet is a combination of both: eat less fattening foods (calorie ridden), and exercise (use your body) more.

This inovative kitchen scale can help you with the first of these tasks: decreasing calorie intake.

Make sure that you consult a physician before starting a rigorous diet plan. Don’t wait for tomorrow: make a change in your life today.

Digital Pocket Scale (Mini Scale)

As the holiday season approaches, you might wonder what you can get the avid collector/enthusiast. A digital pocket scale is a great gift for someone who needs to know weights on the go.

For someone who collects or buys gold during this economically unstable time - this is a must have. Anyone who is in to collecting, rocks, diamonds, or anything else will definitely benefit from this incredible device.

In earlier years, a digital scale this sophisticated could only be found on a stable, immovable surface. Now, you can have that power in the palm of your hand.

Not only is a pocket scale useful for the rare collector, etc. But it is also useful for the everyday person. It can double as a small kitchen scale, postal scale, whatever you need to weigh, it can be done on the pocket scale. (it just won’t weigh something as large as you : ) ).

Just in time for the holidays, a pocket scale is just the right thing to fit the bill.

Counting Scale - counting you to a perfect digital scale

Posted by brigster103 under counting scales, digital scales
No Comments 

Digital scales have emerged in recent years as the foundation of weighing technology in every industry. Whether you work in shipping, manufacturing, or weigh things for cooking, the digital scale is a must-need for every application.

Today, we re-visit the topic of counting scales. The counting scale is a highly refined scale that is not too much different from a standard scale: the main difference being that it counts for you.

The counting scale has a built in program that re-calibrates itself to give you a highly accurate estimate of the number of similar objects placed on the digital scale. Counting scales are used in pharmacies, manufacturing, and also hardware stores, bead stores, etc.

What you do is you calculate how much 1 object would weigh: for example, you place one pill (medication) on the scale and calibrate the scale to count that weight as equal to 1 object.

You can then put a whole bottle of pills on the scale and it will give you a highly accurate number of how many pills you placed on the digital counting scale.

This is a diverse tool that has many applications and is highly recommended for any business that deals with counting objects.

Has anyone been watching the economy lately. Has anyone been watching the presidential debates?!? The economy is messed up right now. The NYSE is being driven not by logic or reasoning, but by fear and terror.

In this time of crisis, you can still find great Digital Scales at great prices. Just because the economy is suffering, doesn’t mean that you dont’ have a business to run or are going to stop your diet.

Do not let Obama or McCain get you done or make you feel scared. Fear is what is going to continue to drive this economy down.

Body Fat Scales

So, it has come to my attention that there is an epidemic of obesity going out there in the world. Well, I say to America, lets shape up!!!

It is very frustrating for their to be so much obesity. It is all in the way we eat and the fact that we don’t exercise enough!!!

So, when you want to eat that next donut — DON’T

When you want to take the elevator to the 3rd floor — DON’T

Even little things can really help us out. Do you know what the complications of obesity are????

- diabetes, corony problems, hyperglycemia, bad self image, loss of energy….. etc

So pretty much, if you want to die earlier, then please - go right ahead and be obese. I do realize that for most, this is not just a choice, but a life-change that needs to happen. I know that you don’t just choose to be obese and choose to not be obese — but that’s where it starts… with the desire.

With a desire we can do almost anything and we can lose weight and be more healthy….

Also, we need to be informed - not necessarily on a consistent basis… but we do need to be reminded or our weight - but not only our weight - but a better indicator of our health - our body fat percentage.

There are several ways you can find this out: the most reliable being to go into a health professional and get it checked with a body caliper. Another way is to get one of those hand-held devices.

My personal favorite is a body fat scale. That way you can check your weight and also your body fat at the same time…. these are not too expensive and also you can keep yourself up to date on your progress. (more convenient and private than the doctor’s office).

There is a great model out at the following web address that I found: http://www.digitalscaledepot.com/bodyfat.html

Thanks - and get in shape!

Digital Scales: Digital Pocket Scales for the avid collector or for the home

Posted by brigster103 under Escali Digital Scales, Postal Scales, digital scales
No Comments 

The holiday season is rapidly approaching and people are beginning to scamper around looking for presents for loved ones and colleagues. Last year I was in the same position I am now; not knowing what I should buy for everyone. I have an uncle that is an avid collector of just about everything. He is always traveling to far reaches of the planet and searching for random artifacts, etc.

 

Last year, I ran across something that was rather interesting. I have become acquainted with a local store that sells lots of gadgets for the kitchen, bathroom, etc. Once when I was in there I found something that grabbed my attention and drew me in. It was something extremely small, a little bit bigger than a wallet with a sleek cover to it. It was a digital scale. Not just any scale, it was a digital pocket scale. The kind that you could take in your briefcase and take with you anywhere you went. I was very intrigued with this small and technological wonder.

 

Well, I immediately thought of my uncle, the collector. He is always guying gold, rare gems, rings, and items of historical value. Well, that is what I got him last year. It didn’t cost too much and is extremely high quality. He couldn’t thank me enough for getting him this present. He has taken it with him almost everywhere and it has come in extremely handy in several different occasions. I never would have thought that my uncle would be happy with a digital scale as a present.

 

A digital pocket scale is extremely versatile. They are typically small and can be taken almost anywhere you go. They are not only good for weighing precious gems, gold, jewels, rings, etc but they can be used for a many great different things. For the professional, a digital pocket scale can be used in the office, the lab for precious measurements, or in the field (where precision is a must without a bulky equipment). They are extremely great for around the house from acting as a digital scale for your kitchen (weighing food and ingredients) all the way to weighing mail for postage and even small packages.

 

A digital pocket scale is probably the most versatile scale you could ever have. My uncle actually was so impressed with his that I went out and bought another one for myself. I have used it to save time by weighing out small packages and letters at home and then having the post office pick the packages up for me. My wife has used it when she was trying to make a rather difficult recipe that used weights instead of volume measurements.

 

If are a work professional or a professional person, then a digital pocket scale is one of the best digital scales you could come across. I recommend these scales to everyone I come across. Its one of those things that you don’t think too much about, but once you have, you can’t imagine not having one. Well, I can’t imagine not having one now. Who would have thought, a digital pocket scale?
