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

Greatest scale i will ever own. Easy to set up, always accurate and quick, and has a higher weight limit than my previous scale. I don't know why I waited so long to purchase this scale, but i am definitely happy with it. You can put batteries in it or plug it in, great options!

Love this ! It plugs in, no more batteries. This is the best scales I've ever had. Wish I would of bought this years ago. Don't waste money on the rechargeable ones , that never last. (purchased 4 in the past) Never again, the best thing about it, it plugs in and all the features is a big plus . It is worth every penny. Fits perfectly on my counter ready to use, it has a background light to turn on or off. Its very accurate. and you can turn the beep off or on. I love how it stays on ounces after use as that's what I use most and don't have to reset units each time like the battery ones. Give me common sense plug in , not this short term battery junk. I LOVE THIS !!!

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.

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've been having problems finding the right digital scale. I bake all my own breads, buns, pizza doughs, etc so scales get a lot of use, but nothing seems to be able to handle the rigors of my kitchen. I have gone through a few of the cheap Taylor brand scales, which seem to conk out on me about every 6 months or so. I next tried the popular OXO brand scale, but I accidentally spilled water on it and the display went on the fritz. I need something that can handle my sometimes-clumsy nature. I ended up picking this one up and overall I like it. I was a little disappointed that it's mostly plastic because it looks like stainless in the picture and it's labeled as a stainless scale in a misleading way, but at this price that seemed too good to be true so I wasn't surprised. The only stainless bit is the outer layer for the platform where you place your goods. What I like: - Fairly fast response. It's not as fast as the OXO, but it's way faster than the cheaper Taylors I had before (even on the fastest setting it's not as fast as the OXO). - Very easy to read, and I prefer the elevated platform over the pull-out mechanism of the OXO. - Ability to keep display on indefinitely, also has various settings for display shut-off time. - Ability to plug into a wall (also supports batteries). - I like the plastic guard, it seems like it will protect the display. I also like that when you lift it up, it stays in place, so if I'm having to tare often I don't have to keep lifting it up. - Seems accurate enough for my needs. What I'm not a huge fan of: - It's super lightweight and slides around on my counter too easily. Putting a towel under it helps, but I wish it was more stable. - While it is accurate enough for most of what I do, I find that it's not great if you have to do something like measure a single gram. It will go from 0 to 2, for example. - While this doesn't affect me because I don't require extreme precision, I have noticed that it will display slightly different weights if I re-weigh something. For example, if I have a cup with water and it weighs, say, 510 grams, sometimes if I remove it and put it back on the scale it will say 509 or 511. - The instructions ask to calibrate it with a standardized weight, and what everyday person has something like that on hand? I tested it with objects that have known weights (like nickels) and it seems accurate out of the box, so it doesn't seem like an issue, but it's worth pointing out. I would look up how to change settings, or read the manual. It's not intuitive but some settings can be changed, such as shut-off time (I have seen reviewers mention that it can't be changed for indefinite time, but it certainly can). That sounds like a lot of cons for a 4-star review, but most of them don't really affect me on a day-to-day basis so they're not dealbreakers. If something changes then I will update my review!

My wife LOVES this scale for making sour dough bread. It's very accurate, and she loves the Hold button feature.

Inexpensive, fast, accurate, and great features! Great display. Intuitive to use. Sizable, these do take up a bit of counter space, but well worth it. Not a ton more to add - these are my go-tos for baking.

Love this scale, well made

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

Una gran compra, sobre todo la función de porcentajes. Aunque es un poco grande, vale la pena, ya que es muy precisa y que tengas un adaptador hace la deferencia

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.
