Default scales

It's looking like the right time to get another scale. I've got an old
Edlund E80 which I like but it's upper end is 2000 grams. That's not
working out well now that our teenage boys are murdering the bread box
daily.

I need something a bit bigger, something that I can put the big bowl on
and add, tare, add, tare... I know Mike's been a big fan of My Weigh...
is that still the way to go?

Links and thoughts appreciated.

Will

Default scales

I purchased the My Weigh KD7000 Professional about 5 months ago and am
quite pleased with it.

The scale goes to 7000 grams (hence the model name); handles tare quite
well, easily switches from g/kg/lbs/oz/lb oz, and the removable
stainless steel tray make cleanup a breeze. I also like the fact that it
uses standard AA batteries - which, thanks to my AA battery-eating
Digital Camera is a well stocked item in my house

All-in-all I agree with Mike - the My Weigh is a great kitchen/home
scale for its price range.

I'm guessing that the tare can be anything up to the scale's capacity?

Something else I need to replace {:-(

Hi Will, I have a slightly different model to Jim's, being in the UK,
but it's great for what I need. I found it hard finding anything that
did the same for the same price.
