MyWeigh KD-8000 Digital Food Scale, Stainless Steel

I love the My Weigh KD-8000 scales. It can weigh up to 8000 grams / 17 pounds and you can have confidence that it is highly/brilliantly accurate. It measures weight in 1-gram (or 0.05 ounces) increments so can weigh precise measurements - essential for turning out great baking, and making sauerkraut. I bought this scale based on the recommendation of Holly Howe, a fermentation expert from USA. She rang its praises for accurately measuring salt to get perfect sauerkraut, and I've found this to be the case. The great thing is that this scale has a percentage function so if making sauerkraut, you don't have to calculate what weight 2% of salt equates with in grams. It has a clear and easy-to-read display, with the numbers being large enough to see from a distance. The part that shows the weight is backlit which enhances visibility of the weight. Unique Features Percentage Mode: The My Weigh KD-8000 includes a percentage mode, making it a doddle to multiply quantities for recipes like loaves of bread ,other baked goods, sauerkraut, etc. Operates on mains power and batteries. I highly recommend this fantastically accurate and easy-to-use scale.

Very happy without these scales. So pleased that I can turn off the time available to weigh function, which has been a game changer! They are easy to clean and I also love the ability to continue to use the scales even if I have no battery life available….one of my better purchases for sure.

These scales are the best. This is my 2nd set had bought them 8 years ago. So I replaced them. The 1st set had got moisture into battery compartment and corrosion happened. But well worth the cost for bakers.

Nice and easy to use and easy to keep clean also they look good

Been using these for a few months now, mostly for cakes and cookies. Super accurate, whether you're measuring a little or a lot, decently bright screen and a few different tricks up it's sleeve, which is nice. It is a little more plasticky than I'd like, doesn't feel quite as good as it looks, but aside from that it's fantastic.

I love these scales as they are so accurate. They aren’t as easy to store as the digital scales but I love them

Look good. Have used batteries instead of plug a limited space of sockets. Am pleased with product

O fato do ecra é botões ficarem protegidos e o prato se amovível para lavar são excelentes ideias que facilitam a operação e aumentarão a longevidade do equipamento. A inclinação do ecrã permite fácil leitura com recipientes maiores. Recomendo.

It was perfectly packed, and it is working fine would love to recommend to everyone in my circle

A very useful and accurate scale that works well. I recommend buying it

Accurate scales. Well made and easy to clean. I use the tare function every time to add different amounts of ingredients during the course of making the recipe. I highly recommend these scales.

I recently got into soap making and tried several different scales but I could not find one that was accurate at all. Pros: I’m very pleased With this scale because of the accuracy and the speed in which it records the weight. It has a faceplate on the front of the controls that you lift up and down to keep it clean of oils or whatever you’re weighing. It is removable if you want to remove it. I prefer to keep the faceplate on because I tend to be a little messy at times. The things that I love about the scale is that you can plug it into an outlet and not have to use batteries if you do not want to or you can just use batteries. Please note: the plug needs to be unplugged from the scale in order for the batteries to work. Not a big deal though. Another great thing is there is a feature where you can set the scale to NOT “time out” and turn off. It’s so frustrating to be measuring something and then take a minute to open another ingredient to add to the weight and it already timed out. It’s stressful and annoying. The last thing that I love about the scale is it’s extremely quick and accurate with its measurements. The price point is good. Cons: it does suggest to calibrate the scale but it does not come with a calibration weight. In the directions it’s says to calibrate with a 5kg weight so that’s 11.02 in US pounds. Obviously they are not going to send a 11.02 pound weight. The scale measures grams so a 2 oz weight with the scale would have fixed this situation. It wasn’t a deal breaker for me but someone that buys this for baking may feel differently. The scale is extremely lightweight, plastic feel if you will. Seems like everything is now anyway. I was surprised at first by its weight but didn’t let it bother me after I started using it and was happy with its speed and accuracy.
