The plus side, and the minus
Strengths
- Publishes both figures that matter: 11 lb (5 kg) capacity and 1 g (0.04 oz) graduation
- Publishes its footprint — 7.1 × 5.5 in (18 × 14 cm) — so it can be checked against a drawer
- Tare and five units, with batteries supplied
- Stainless platform rather than plastic or glass
Compromises
- The display sits under the platform, so a wide bowl will hide it
- No maximum bowl dimension published
- 11 lb (5 kg) is a limit rather than a lot for bread dough
- Listed on Amazon.com but shown as currently unavailable
Two numbers, published
11 lb (5 kg) of capacity and 1 g of graduation. Those are the two figures a kitchen scale is, and both are here.
And a third that matters
7.1 × 5.5 inches (18 × 14 cm). The footprint is what decides whether the scale lives in a drawer or on the countertop, and it is published — which the WMF in this hub also does and most makers do not.
The display problem
The screen is on the body, under the weighing surface. A mixing bowl wider than the platform will sit over it, and then the scale is being read by tilting the bowl. That is the daily reality of scales of this shape, at any price.
In the box
Two AAA cells, so it works on arrival. Automatic shut-off and a battery indicator, and five units with a tare function.
The stainless platform
Robust, hygienic and easy to wipe, per HomeFashion. Stainless is the better surface here — glass shows every fingerprint and plastic scratches.
Availability in the United States
Amazon.com lists this scale under the same reference, but shows it as currently unavailable. The other scales in this site’s kitchen scales hub are sold there, several of them with the same 11 lb capacity and 1 g steps.
What readers want to know
Is 1 g (0.04 oz) fine enough?
For flour, sugar and liquids, comfortably. Where it matters is yeast and salt in bread, where a gram either way changes the loaf. Most scales in this hub publish 1 g (0.04 oz) graduations; what separates them is the platform and where the display sits.
Will my mixing bowl hide the display?
Possibly. The display is on the body, under the weighing surface, and a bowl wider than 7.1 in (18 cm) will cover it. It is the single most common frustration with scales of this shape, and it is why the WMF in this hub has a larger, flatter surface.
