Great Scale
Not exactly "compact." Which is actually why I bought it. The compact kitchen scales are often hard to read, once you put a bowl on top. I have used many scales for baking, and the compact, flat models with displays that face straight up are a pain. Sometimes I have to use a flashlight and peer in under a bowl to see the LCD. Those displays can be sort of gray when viewed at a steep angle.
This KD8000 is taller, with the display angled forward, much easier to see.
Also it uses AA batteries, much easier to find.
My last scale used a 9V, expensive and not always available. I kept the AC adapter in a drawer for that one.
I might skip the AC adapter for this scale.
The flip-up shield is a new twist for me, but it is not hard to use. Maybe it will extend the life of the front controls. In any case, it is easily removed if I get tired of the thing.
Baker's math feature, well, I'm a baker and I can almost guarantee that this will never be used.
I work out my adjustments with a small calculator, and take notes on paper. No need for the scale to get involved in that. I simply print out any new recipe, and if I make adjustments, I record the date and amounts.
Next time, I might change it again. In case you're wondering, I usually start with at least a 20% change. It is the smallest amount that I will be able to taste in the new batch. I can always tweak it back on the next try, if the recipe is good enough for a 3rd try. But in my experience, go directly to a 20% change if you want to be able to taste the difference.
