How much can the Escali Primo P115 weigh, and at what resolution?
The Primo P115 has an 11 lb (5,000 g) capacity. Its listed resolution is 1 gram or 0.1 ounce, so it is intended for ordinary cooking, baking, meal prep, and other kitchen measurements rather than precision laboratory work.
Which units and weighing functions does the Primo P115 provide?
The P115 measures in ounces and grams, and its tare function subtracts the weight of a bowl or other container. To weigh ingredients cumulatively, place the container on the platform, zero the scale with tare, and then add items as needed.
What batteries does the Escali Primo use, and does it turn off automatically?
The P115 uses two AA batteries; the dealer listing says two are included. The manufacturer product page says the scale automatically shuts off after four minutes of inactivity, which is intended to help conserve battery life.
How does the Primo P115 handle kitchen spills?
The display and controls are sealed under a protective shield to guard against accidental spills. The product description does not describe the scale as waterproof or authorize immersion, so treat the spill protection as resistance to accidental kitchen splashes rather than an immersion rating.
What warranty applies to the Escali Primo P115?
KitchenSupply states that its consumer products are covered for the product's usable lifetime against defects in materials and workmanship for the original owner. A warranty claim requires the original receipt or other acceptable proof of purchase; misuse, abuse, unauthorized repair, modification, consumables, and normal wear are excluded, and the remedy is repair or replacement rather than a refund.
What are the Primo P115's approximate dimensions?
The product page lists the Primo at approximately 8.5 by 6 by 1.65 inches. Its compact platform-style form is intended for kitchen-counter use and storage, although the page does not specify a maximum bowl or plate diameter.
Can I use a stainless-steel platform with the Escali Primo?
Yes. KitchenSupply lists an optional stainless-steel platform cover for the Primo, available separately, and describes that cover as dishwasher-safe. The cover is an accessory rather than a claim that the base scale itself should be placed in a dishwasher.
