Suggestions for Kitchen Scale

[shel]

I'm looking for a reasonably priced kitchen scale. The requirements and preferences are:

Able to set tare weight;
Weight given in ounces and grams;
Digital would be ideal;
Not too big or heavy;
Available in many designer colors

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated. Thanks!

Most electronic scales now have all of these features. No one, certain brand name comes to mind, and I've seen pricing anywhere from $29.95 up to $100.oo.

Keep this in mind however: The more accuarate the scale you want (fractions of ounce/milligrams) the less total weight the scale can handle. Most scales in the price range I mentioned usually handle up to 2lbs/1 kg and are accurate to 1 gram.

Escali makes a perfectly fine scale, called the "Primo", which meets all of his criteria, including designer colors, which retails for about $25. It measures to 5 kg (11 lbs), with an accuracy of 1 gram. It's silly to get a scale that only measures one kilo, and which doesn't have decigram (0.1 g) capability, as that's the only advantage of a small capacity scale.

Do a search on Google; I found a Hoehnle scale, 11 pounds, accurate to 1/10
ounce, for about $40. Several styles, all extremely stylish. (If you like Contemporary.) I haven't noticed any Early American scale styles.
