This review is from: My Weigh KD-8000 Digital Weighing Craft Tabletop Scale
I have yet to see a scale in the same price range that has the same level of accuracy, granularity and function.
The scale has every feature needed in food prep (tare/lb/oz/lb.oz/kg/g/baker's math) and nothing more (why do some scales tell you what time it is now?). The 17+ lb. (8 Kg) capacity allows for a large/heavy mixing bowl to first be tared when weighing and combining a large volume a multiple ingredients. The large weighing surface and backlit LED keeps the weight visible and function buttons accessible when weighing items larger than a cereal bowl (something that most scales in this price range cannot claim). Aside the from the overall design, weight capacity and granularity, the baker's math (percentage function) may be this scale's most useful feature! The only negative I've experienced is the scale's quick auto shut-off time when running on battery powered. This can easily be resolved by using an AC adapter. Bottom line: I would by this food scale over any other in the <$100 price range (and I wouldn't by a $100+ scale for my home kitchen).

This review is from: My Weigh KD-8000 Digital Weighing Craft Tabletop Scale
After a long research for a good quality and accurate scale and moderately priced I settled on this one. I have been using it for about 6 weeks . I am a cold process soap maker and need something that is accurate and can withstand abuse. So far this scale has been very accurate I am constantly testing the accuracy with a weight and it is very accurate .
I like the shield that protects the keypad and the size of the of the table, it can hold a very large bowl and the table can be removed for cleaning. The window is bright and the numbers can be easily seen ..the tare button works perfectly every time. It can easily go from ozs to grams and to % . I have 2 other scales that I thought were very good but this one is now my favorite. That it came with the power cord ,which is usually an option is great ..I hate it when they are battery operated and you have to purchase a power cord separately . I have not used the battery option so I do not know how long the battery lasts. I highly recommend this scale can't wait to use it for bread making .

My Weigh KD 8000 Digital Weighing Scale,

This review is from: My Weigh KD-8000 Digital Weighing Craft Tabletop Scale
I almost did not purchase this item based on a previous reviewer's comment. They noted, correctly, that the scale counts down from 99999 through zero before startup. For people who are concerned about this, as I was, the countdown takes 5 seconds, measured by stopwatch. I have found this not to be a problem at all. By the time I grab some flour, or get a bowl, the scale is ready to go.
The tare function on this is a must for me: I love it! The plastic cover over the keypad is a nicer idea than I thought it would be before I used the scale. The one star deduction I gave the scale is due to the slight scuffing of the plastic cover that seems to have occurred in transit. That should not have happened, though it doesn't affect function in the least. The scuffing looks like flour remnants I didn't wipe off. This is something the manufacturer could have avoided by putting a small piece of paper between the keypad and the cover prior to shipment. It was so easily avoidable that I felt a one star deduction was in order. This is a scale that is very easy to use, with all the functions you should expect in a true baker's scale - baker's percentages, gram increments in measurement, conversion between metric and ounce/pounds, and the ability to regulate the automatic shut-down of power. I love that it is battery operated, and don't mind that the scale did not come with the available power cord. I'm extremely pleased with the scale, which has earned a coveted place on my counter.
