TANITAKW-210-05 Water Proof Commercial and Home Use Kitchen Scale (5 kg/11 lb)

4/3/21 Have been looking for a scale that is accurate at 1g regardless of other weights applied. This Tanita KW-210 works great. It can measure as small as 1g and when there is other weight on the plate (say 100g) it still responds to adding 1g at a time. It was a bit bigger than I imagined. It came with an AC power adapter or can use 4xAA batteries (batteries not included). Made in China.

We use it all the time, totally water proof! Water is always leaking off of something and it keeps on working!

This is an excellent scale but I sent it back for a few reasons. It's a little on the big side but not too big, but some people may not like that. It displayed the weight quickly, worked well, etc. However, when I put an empty bowl on the tray, it would give me the circle that says the weight is set, and then about 5 seconds later the weight would change by 0.05 oz. A scale of this type doesn't need to be more accurate than that, but for the absurd price of $150+ it was really annoying, especially when I just got another professional quality scale for $30 that I like better. The other thing that I didn't like is it doesn't weigh in ounces only. It has to be pounds/ounces or grams. I prefer ounces only so for the price and the fact that it didn't have the features that I like, I sent it back and I would highly recommend this scale instead, https://www.amazon.com/VisionTechShop-Switchable-Stainless-Backlight-Readability/dp/B08GM9ZJNN/ref=rvi_sccl_1/145-0397937-0902001?content-id=amzn1.sym.f5690a4d-f2bb-45d9-9d1b-736fee412437&th=1.

I've owned this scale just short of two months now and it's been working great. I'm very happy to have the option of using either AC or battery, though note there are some manufacturer's caveats regarding waterproofness with respect to using the unit while on AC power. I have the max 5kg/11lb scale (as opposed to the unit that will handle double that weight) so it's accuracy is a little better: to 1g instead of 2g. As I frequently use this for pour-over coffee, I won't deny I wouldn't mind even greater accuracy. Yeah, I'm one of those guys. However, I suspect given that it goes up to 11lbs, that's probably too much of a stretch. I purchased this scale to replace a more expensive scale with higher accuracy (though lower weight) and a bunch of other features, but became annoyed with the quality of that other unit which relied on an integrated rechargeable batteries via USB. Much happier with this scale.

I nearly didn't buy this as Tanita is no longer made in Japan, however the scale has proven to be of excellent quality and was worth the cost.
