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.

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.

The scale is really great, and a nice upgrade from the small one I had before. The feet are sturdy, the cover over the buttons is nice, and the plate fits a foot amount of stuff.

Scale has been in use for ~ 3 weeks. It was easy to set up and is straight forward to use. Switches between lbs, oz, Kg, and g very easily. Large wt range (all the way up to 8Kg). Accurate - I tested it with a 1 g calibration wt and it was spot on.

Why not 4 stars? We have only had it for 3 weeks. That said, from the way it is made I would predict to last as long we need it. Recommended

This was a Father's Day gift for my husband, who baked professionally 40 years ago and picked up baking again in March, at the beginning of our Covid-19 lockdown (still trying to get whole wheat flour!). A small kitchen scale that we'd had for about 20 years just wasn't cutting it, and he cursed it every time he tried to weigh out ingredients. He absolutely LOVES his new My Weight KD8000, and the batch he made the day after he received it was perfect!
