Tom’s Guide Verdict
The KitchenAid Dual Platform Digital Kitchen Scale didnt disappoint.
It is lightweight, compact and pleasant to use.
Plus, it offers precision when you need it.

So if you want to measure coffee beans or yeast, you wont need a second gadget.
Would the kitchen scale live up the the high standards Ive come to expect from the brand?
Well, don’t let this put you off.
The base will be in either black or white, depending on which option you choose.
I like gadgets to be intuitive and quick to pick up.
Powering upThis is certainly the case with the KitchenAid Dual Scale.
The only issue I found was levering off the battery case on the reverse of the scale.
Once I’d added 3 x AAA batteries I was away but you will need to supply your own.
Controls and measurementsYou’ll find four buttons on the front of the scale.
It’s ideal if you oughta weigh yeast or other fine ingredients in exact amounts.
Alternatively, it’s possible for you to place the bowl onto the scale before turning the scale on.
It’s a handy function that you’ll find on most scales.

I went on to test different weights on both platforms and the smaller scale continued to perform consistently.
However, the larger scale was slightly off, but only by 1g.
On the smaller scale, when the weights were placed around the edge of the platform it registered 170.35g.

For best cleaning results KitchenAid advices to wipe the scale with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
It should not be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher.
You’ll also find that the stainless steel weighing platforms get covered in fingerprints.

Whats more, its easy to use, accurate, relatively easy to clean, compact and slim.
I think its a keeper.
