Review on KitchenAid KQ900 Single Digital Inches by Tom Bailey

TL; DR: I think it's okay to measure if you don't have OCD. Reason for purchase: necessity for baking and counting calories. I love the design of this scale - two platforms is a great idea and I use both frequently. I love that the weight capacity of both platforms is sufficient to place a bowl on top and tare it to add items that might otherwise roll off the platform. It's easy to use, quick taring, easy switching between grams and ounces. .(I used a chemical scale that weighs in hundredths of a gram. However, it weighed 200g, so imagine my annoyance if I weighed anything larger, especially when the container on the platform ate something of that weight. The chemical However, the scales never let me down.) These scales have the following problems: When you place something very slowly on a large platform, especially a light object such as a table. For example, pouring flour into a container will not keep up with the extra weight. If I touch the platform with my finger it catches up, but then I have no idea if it's accurate, so I pick up the container and put it down again, sometimes to make sure it's accurate, sometimes to make sure that the weight has jumped another gram or two. I've tested both platforms several times on my chemical scale and found them to be fairly close together, although the smaller platform is absolutely more sensitive to weight changes (I don't mean because it's measured in hundredths becomes). Grams, I mean it grows as you add, while a major platform doesn't always). A larger platform will sometimes differ by a gram or three. I found the same discrepancy when comparing the two platforms. If we assume that the smaller platform is more accurate, the larger platform tends to underweight items and the discrepancy between the two platforms seems to increase with the weight of the item in question (see images). So I use the smaller platform as much as practicality allows, but I want the larger one to be more sensitive. I agree that grams are tiny units of measurement and I should probably live with that and put up with mediocrity, but different measurements on the same scale raise a question as to whether something is really completely flawed, and I'm itching. Did the cheese I just weighed and eat add 44 or 48 calories to my daily calories? Or was it actually 72?
