My Weigh KD-8000 Digital Food Scale, Stainless Steel, Silver

awesome scale. very precise. love that you can remove the digital reader cover. also love that it can be battery operated or plugged in. seems to be very durable as well and easy to clean. i use this scale in a professional kitchen. it makes graming out recipes a breeze.

I love this scale! I started baking to manage gluten and find it very easy to use. No more multiple measuring cups or spoons or bowls unless you want to separate liquids and dry ingredients. The scale has a larger platform with the readout and buttons in the front so you can always read it. The control panel is protected so you don’t have to worry about sticky batter or flour getting into the keypad, and it has a function that automatically subtracts the weight of the bowl. I’ve used small cups to huge bowls on it and can still easily see what the weight is.

This scale is awesome . I’ve tried several other scales, including some of the top brands, and this thing works better than all of them. Highly recommend it. It reads fast and also does a pretty good job with very small amounts. I was surprised at that because most big kitchen scales don’t do well with a few grams But this one did. Highly recommend. It’s also nice that you can plug this thing in and you don’t need batteries.

I think this is my 8th scale. But only because I give a lot of them away as gifts. My daughter has one that is 20 yrs old, still works flawlessly every day, looks good, needs batteries about every 6 years if you buy good batteries. But now that MyWeigh has been sold to a new company I expect these to be gone when the current inventory is exhausted and I won't know where to go to get a duplicate of the known good design.

I purchased the Oxo scale with pull out display. Quality build, accurate, goes to 11 lb max. This one seems to be most preferred by bakers. I got it for the baking percentages And it is the preferred scale by bakers. Not sure of its quality, mostly plastic. Surprised Without bakers percentages, I prefer the Oxo. But this one will weigh above 11 lbs. It is quite accurate. So is Oxo. I will use both

We have found this scale works well and the weight seems pretty accurate. My granddaughter like to bake she was very impressed with it too.I think it was a good value.

This scale does everything as advertised. I am an executive chef in a high end tea shop that has a huge focus on baking. Scones, crumpets, fresh in house made bread and English muffins, along with a signature cake that's been served at this same restaurant for 140 years that's in the James Beard classics cookbook. The scales I had were almost as old as the restaurant. Old, rusty, no metric conversion and generally not accurate enough to maintain any kind of consistency day to day. I shopped around and every other digital scale that had all of the features of this one all cost at least twice as much and my boss wouldn't give me the budget to buy a true balance bakers scale that cost $400. This scale has a pretty big platform to hold even bigger measuring vessels while still being able to see the display. The platform is also removable for easy cleaning. The display is nice and big so it's easy to read and super bright. The hinged control and display cover is a nice feature and is easily removed for cleaning. It also came with two flexible plastic control and display covers that will allow you to change display setting with it in place. I love how I can change the display from just ounces to just pounds with another setting that displays both pounds and ounces so when I'm scaling out ingredients for bread and need 5lbs of flour and then 2oz of yeast, I don't have to change the display. It also will convert to metric to grams and kilograms. Do yourself a favor and get the power cord right away. It does come with cheapo batteries which is a nice feature if you need portability but in a commercial kitchen, battery power probably won't last long. It does have an auto off feature which in my opinion is a tad short and it even turns itself off when on AC power which I'm not thrilled about but it's minor when you consider what you get for the money. I might be able to disable the auto off feature but I've only been using this scale for two weeks. So far it's been perfect. The instructions recommend calibrating the scale before using it. I already had a 1oz, 1gr, 1lb, and 1kg, calibration weight set and it was dead on right out of the box. The only other thing that I wish was different was I wish it had a bit more weight to it so it stayed put a little better but now I'm nitpicking. I havent used the baking percentage feature yet as all the recipes I use already have multiple batch measurements as well as metric and standard weights listed so i can really speak for that. All in all, for what this scale costs, its awesome. Great scale for the money.

I bought this scale primarily for weighing out quantities of ingredients used in making violin varnish. The capacity of up to 8 kg makes it ideal for the amounts that I need to weigh. Additionally, I like the fact that this scale uses a plug-in power transformer instead of having to rely on batteries. There will be long periods where I will not use the scale, and unused batteries tend to seep chemicals over time which will corrode the terminals. This scale seems to be rather rugged and designed for durability. The digital readout is large, but being an LCD, I have to stand at the correct angle to see the numbers at the greatest contrast with the gray background.
