I've had previous scales that I had issues with. A baking school in my area uses this school and raved about it. I'm so glad I bought this one. I love that I can plug it in and get an accurate reading. Heavy duty and accurate! Perfect for weighing recipes for my baking recipes. Weighing is the way to go..as it equals consistent results every time.

I just bought one of these for my nephew: I've had mine for 14 years, and still use it almost daily. It has weighed everything from babies to spices for sausage, though I use it most for baking.
I like the multiple modes, which make it easy to switch between American and European recipes. It's very reliable at the 10-gram level; 5-gram distinctions are the technical minimum, but are not as repeatable.

I received a MyWeigh KD8000 digital scale for my birthday. It seems simple to operate, but the scale consistently registers too high a weight for an object. I tested it by weighing three packaged food objects that were in cellophane packaging with minimal weight. In all three cases, the scale reported a weight that was too high by 3%. The manual says you can recalibrate, but that requires separately buying a 5kg weight, which I’m not about to do. So, I’m not happy and will have to wing it on measurements, assuming that the scale overweights everything 3%. That’s not exactly what I had in mind when I asked for a digital scale. Also, there’s really no way to contact the manufacturer directly by phone or email.

A good reliable scale is essential for the work I do as recipe analyst and culinary nutritionist. The KD7000 was my first scale and my workhorse for many years before recently upgrading to the KD8000. Thanks for including the power adaptor. I ordered the adaptor separately with my first scale. Power adaptors are the way to go - more friendly to the environment and less stressful. Like Murphy's Law says, a battery will fail at the worst possible moment.

The baker’s percentages feature is an outstanding feature for those of us who use baker’s percentages to develop our recipes and scale by weight.
Other features such as the display backlight, auto shut off, and respond time can be set to user’s preference.
Since the platform is elevated you can place a very large bowl on the scale without obstructing the display.
The platform and display shield easily remove for cleaning.
Scale runs on 3 AAA batteries which isn’t the most efficient but an AC adapter plug sold separately is available for the scale (which I also purchased.
There is a trade off though for all of these features in the KD 8000 is larger than most kitchen scales. My scale is always on my countertop since I use it every day. But for someone that uses a scale less frequently, storage might be an issue.
And if you are wondering if Old Will Knotts Scale is a good company—yup, they are. They ship timely. If you email them, they will respond very timely. If you order something and it’s on back order, a notice pops up on the order page clearly stating the item is out of stock, on back order, and offering you the option to complete the order or not. And you don’t have to contact them to hunt down that back order if you decide to order any way. Old Will Knotts Scales will sent it to you as soon as they get it in stock.

This sure beats my old scale for accuracy! I weighed a couple of things and found out my old scale rounded everything either up or down to the nearest even number. It never displayed odd numbers at all. Something weighing 923 grams read 922 (-1) on my old scale. In another case, something weighing 535 grams weighed 536 (+1) on my old scale. Now I can get much more accurate measurements for small amounts.
I use this scale to measure bleach powders for lightening my hair 1-2 shades. The difference between 7 grams and 14 grams is critical to avoid over lightening my hair. I also need accuracy for consistent, repeatable results. This scale is easy to clean and I also use it for baking artisan breads where accurate amounts of salt, yeast, and cinnamon are important.

My only quibble is that the display and keyboard are pretty vertical. This makes the display more visible when you have something large on the top to be weighed. However, if the scale is on a relatively smooth surface, it will slide backwards when you push on the buttons. (They're membrane keys, so they require a bit of a press to register) I may be able to fix this with a rubber nonslip pad glued on the bottom; haven't tried it yet.
It could use some sort of inward dent on the bottom so your fingers could get under it to pick it up; it's too smooth and tall to pick up one-handed even though it's light enough.
Response time and accuracy of weighing is excellent.
