What makes this different from the Epica TM Accupro Digital Kitchen Scale in quality?

I don't know it dos do grams but I have not got it to work right I think the battery's that came with it are low or that is how it seems

I would guess that they're comparable. This one is $5 less expensive though. I can tell you I use my prochef multiple times a day and am very happy with the quality for the price. I've had $30 scales in the past that have gone glitchy quickly with my excessive use.

The Epica has 538 reviews vs 103 for Weight Masters (WM)... with similar review averages. WM is 2/3 the price with a10 year warranty (I can't find warranty info for the Epica so I suspect that it's 1 year.). Feature-wise and aesthetics are the same as I perceive them. I'm very happy with the WM now after about 5 weeks and would recommend the WM to anyone wanting an inexpensive diet or baking scale for everyday home use.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the scale you mention. All I do know is that this one works wonderfully and my daughter liked mine so well I had to get her one so she wouldn't keep borrowing mine.

It's always faster to measure than I am. But I'm using it to weight for postage. For a quick tap, I dont know and suspect you are looking at the wrong scale. It's meant for packages. Even if it read the quick tap and your software grabed only the max entry, not sure how accurate it would be. Do know that as you press on the scale, you can see the weight change on the PC. I'm using Shipworks.Hope that helps you out.

U429085 is better quality and thicker. It is also more expensive. The difference is not really noticeable to me as I've bought both. But some reviewers note there is less humidity with food staying good longer.

Have you tried calibrating? I bought two and they were just a smidge off, so calibrated and they are perfect. You might try changing surfaces it sits on. I was at a gem show last week and many vendors used this specific scale.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

I am not really familiar with the cheaper model. I can say that the unit that I have works very well. It is very accurate and dependable and I highly recommend it.

Sorry, I can't give good opinion on this particular scale as mine arrived defective and I returned it. I have an older scale with tempered glass and have had no problems with it however it is glass so if you are knocking things about you might have to get an old fashioned metal scale.

I think the main differences are a better filter and digital controls. But you can do a comparison on their website to make sure.

We don't own it. We ordered it but the vendor never sent it so we had to make a claim for a refund. We then purchased the Detecto D1130. It has a very small foot bed and a men's size 10.5 does not fit on it. As such, it did not register properly for my husband. That one went back. We then ordered the Healthometer 160KLS Professional scale. The foot bed is very large as is the dial. We're very happy with it.

I have experienced this in the past - one (or both, to different degrees) of the surfaces is flexing under the scale. because the scale is digital, it depends on the constant of the resistance of the floor surface to produce the result you see. I have my scale on a poured, stained concrete floor so I have no resistance whatsoever. Do you have a similar area where you can place the unit? That would provide the ideal surface, then continue to use that surface for your ongoing measurements. The other choice is to choose one surface - the hardwood would be my choice - and stick with that. Consistency over time is key.

No! That's especially where the imitation tray failed, in addition to accommodating fewer K-cups. The Epica holds more K-cups, is stronger, and handles the weight of our Keurig model B70 with reservoir full of water perfectly.

it is adjustable metric to standard ... I prefer standard lb,s ounce's and measurement accuracy is ounces, no lower scale ... hope this helps. fyi I have been happy with my scale

Hi Susan!My suggestion to you is to go to your local Target and see what they have. I got the one I use from there and it has worked well.I also have a basic, non digital scale in my bathroom which works well too.The good thing about your local stores is that you can return them if you don't like them and try something new!As for brands they are pretty much all the same.Good luck!

It's very odd how many people take the time to respond to questions simply to say that they don't know the answer, isn't it? Having just returned a Cuisinart TOB-40 due to an electrical circuit failure after just one year of light use and replacing it with the Breville, there's notable difference in the Breville's cooking efficiency and uniformity of heat radiation. The quartz heating elements are far superior and the 'smart' heat distribution function seems to perform as advertised. I'm hoping to get similar improvement in durability over the disappointing Cuisinart TOB-40. The Breville is actually a bit smaller than the TOB-40 externally but doesn't sacrifice functional interior room and outperforms by a quite higher margin.

I don't know the answer to your question, and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with this product. But one of the reasons I choose to purchase this scale was because the other feedback talked about how responsive the manufacturer is to any issues customers have had. Have you contacted them? I would hope they would resolve this with you and replace the scale. Whatever they do, I hope you post their response on the reviews for this product. Good luck!

This is a common issue with digital electronic meters and digital anything. Say you have a clock that is accurate...it keeps perfect time. If your digital clock says it is 6:05 it could actually be anywhere between 6:05:00 and 6:05:59...the clock display has only one minute resolution. Which is fine if you are using it to avoid being late for work, but probably not good enough if you are trying to time a 13 second photographic exposure. For that you need something with better resolution. 0.2 lbs (~3 oz) is the resolution of this scale. The scale can display only .2 lb increments. 10.2 lbs means that if the scale were perfect, the actual weight would be somewhere between 10.10 and 10.30 pounds. (less it would read 10.0, more it would read 10.4) In truth most digital devices are only accurate to plus or minus one resolution step....IF your test weight is really exactly 10.000 lbs, then I would say the scale is working right if read 9.8 or 10.0, or 10.2 lbs. BUT, if you are using a 10# exercise weight then I wouldn't count on it being within better than 1/2 lb. If you really care, then there is probably an office of weights and measures locally that checks supermarket scales, gas pumps, etc that could check it with a traceable standard weight. TLDR version; 10.2 is a good result. It does NOT mean your scale is 2% off. Most likely if you had a 100# test weight it would read 99.8 or 100, or 100.2. It would also be perfectly normal for you to sometimes see readings +/- .2 lbs different each time you weigh yourself....If you weighed exactly 180.100000 lbs, then 180.0 and 180.2 are just as close to being correct, and depending on if you inhale or exhale you could see one or the other. Given that peoples weight fluctuates over more than a pound during a day, this resolution is more than adequate for keeping tabs on your weight.

Neither. If you want scientific accuracy you should buy an expensive triple beam balance. The real question is which scale is precise. That is, which gives reproducible values. The EatSmart scale is said to be one of the most precise electronic scales you can buy. If you're looking to track your weight, precision is the important attribute.
