My Weigh KD-8000 Digital Food Scale (Silver)

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.

Very good scale, I use it without batteries, is very fast, and percise, numers are very easy to read, and for bread baking is very useful, so much better than the cheap one I used to have.

This scale is a workhorse. I have been making cold process soap for years, and this scale is just awesome. Tough, puts up with my stuff, so I got one for my kitchen because I have tried several and they end up dying or breaking. I make a LOT of bread and we do a LOT of baking etc and it's very reliable. It doesn't have all the bells an whistles, doesn't break down to 1/2 a gram etc like some of them do, but it always works. The display is nice and large and easy to see, it is too big to fit in a drawer, but works nice on my countertop. If you use your kitchen scale a lot I would recommend this one. We use it at LEAST once a day or more. You won't need another one in 6 months. Not junk!

I purchased these scales to start baking by weight instead of volume, and they’ve been a great investment. The company I buy my flour from highly recommended this model, and I can see why. They’re straightforward to use, seem very accurate, and have made measuring ingredients in grams so much easier. I’ve really been enjoying baking with them and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to improve consistency in their baking.

I This scale was recommended in a baking group I am in. I couldn't be more pleased. First of all, I checked the calibration with a nickel - Just FYI, it should weigh 5 grams and did! I removed the cover over the buttons, I am weighing dry ingredients and don't need it. I use it plugged in, programmed it so that it is on until I turn it off. LOVE that feature, my battery operated scale, turned off after a certain amount of inactivity, nothing worse than getting interrupted while weighing ingredients to come back to a scale that has turned off. The 2nd thing I love, because the readout in angled, you can put a large mixing bowl on the scale and see the readout. #3.The on/off, tare, units are all separate buttons another massive improvement over the typical 2 button scales I have had in the past. #4 - the plate you weigh on just lifts off, making it really easy to clean. #5 No need for a battery, but have the option. The scale comes with a power cord, that by the way is pretty long, just incase you don't have an outlet close to where you want to use it. So far I have not found one thing I would change. It is pricier than a lot of kitchen scales, but if it lasts the way my baker friends claim, I will be money ahead in the long run. I have replaced the "cheapy" several times. I think this guy is in it for the long haul! I couldn't be more pleased. 1 year later…MINUS 1 STAR: The power supply, which is one of the main reasons I bought a new scale, is cheaply made. The scale wouldn’t turn on, I thought maybe my outlet was tripped, so I plugged it into a different outlet and it worked. Checked my breakers they were all on, plugged something else into the outlet, it worked. So I figured there must be a short in the power supply, sure enough I see that the wires are exposed, the piece that is supposed to deter that from happening is so stiff, it created the issue. A replacement is $15-$16 for a scale that is less than a year old and has been used by a hobby baker.

I really thought it was going to be to large for my use. But it’s not. Picture makes it look larger. I’m very pleased it very easy to use. Excellent and I recommend this scale. Looks very nice on my countertop can easily move it to where I want it to be! I highly recommend this and the buttons easy to see and the read out is perfect!

I really like this scale. I bake bread weekly and also make a lot of new recipes. Weighing is definitely a time and mess saver. I have had two battery operated scales before buying this and they inevitably would run out of battery power in the middle of some culinary creation. That wouldn’t have been a big deal, but they require removing screws to change the batteries. I much prefer this one as I can just plug it in and am guaranteed it will stay with me as long as needed. The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was that I expected it to be heavier with less plastic. But, I would still highly recommend!

Like this scale a lot. Especially how it has options for the automatic shut-off...one can even eliminate the auto shut off entirely. I first did not like the plastic moveable ( and removable) protective cover for the readout but now I am used to it and like it. It is not a heavy scale and made of plastic parts so I am careful not to put it at risk dropping it. Easy to clean and surprisingly accurate even in small measuring... I use the gram function. Highly Recommended.

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.
