The plus side, and the minus
Strengths
- Weighs liquid volume in milliliters and fluid ounces, not just mass
- A large flat glass surface — 9.1 × 5.9 inches, and only 0.8 inch thick
- Safety glass, wiped flat rather than cleaned around a raised platform
Compromises
- No US price read; the scales sold on Amazon.com do the same from about $11
- 11 lb, the same ceiling as most scales here, where several reach 22 or 33 lb
- Glass shows every fingerprint
Milliliters
WMF publishes four units — ml, g, fl oz and lb:oz — so liquid can be poured onto the scale instead of measured in a jug. One less thing to wash, on almost every bake.
It is not the only scale here that does it. The Amazon Basics at $11.14 lists fl oz and ml too, and the KitchenAid glass scale at $23.99 reads 5,000 ml in 1 ml steps. Volume is a reason to buy a scale with that unit, not a reason to buy this one in particular.
The surface
9.1 × 5.9 inches and 0.8 inch thick, in safety glass, flat. That flatness is the practical difference from a raised platform: it wipes in one movement, and a wide bowl sits on it rather than balancing on a smaller pad.
WMF states large, clearly readable controls and a large stable weighing area.
The same ceiling as most of the shelf
11 lb and 1 gram — the figures of the Escali, the Etekcity, the Amazon Basics and most of this hub. What separates the WMF is not the measurement but everything around it: the glass slab and the units.
If capacity matters, a stock pot or a whole turkey goes past 11 lb: the Greater Goods reaches 22 lb and the GGQ 33 lb.
On Amazon.com
The same reference, B00ZVVFLDE, is listed on Amazon.com — as “WMF Kitchen Scales, White”, with three short bullets: glass and plastic, liquid volume, and the units. No US price was read when this page was revised. Check the colour and the seller before ordering: the same reference is sold in Europe, and an import offer can cost several times the European price.
Practicalities
A CR2032 cell is supplied. There is a battery indicator, an overload display and automatic shut-off. It is hand wash only, and glass shows fingerprints — the honest cost of a surface that wipes flat.

What readers want to know
What does weighing volume actually mean?
WMF publishes ml and fl oz among its units, so a recipe asking for 8 fl oz of milk can be poured onto the scale rather than measured in a jug. The scale converts weight to volume on the assumption of water, which is right for milk, stock and most liquids in baking and a little off for oil or honey. It removes a piece of washing-up from most bakes.
Is it worth it over the scales sold on Amazon.com?
On features, not obviously. The Amazon Basics scale at $11.14 also reads fl oz and ml, to 11 lb; the KitchenAid glass scale at $23.99 has a glass platform and reads 5,000 ml in 1 ml steps. What the WMF adds is the flat, 0.8-inch glass slab and the WMF finish — and no US price was read for it when this page was revised. If you need more capacity, the Greater Goods reaches 22 lb at $24.99.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No — WMF states hand wash. That is normal for any scale, which contains electronics under its surface, and the flat glass makes wiping it straightforward.
