Precision Meets Versatility: The KitchenAid KQ909 Dual Platform Scale is a Culinary Must-Have!
The KitchenAid KQ909 Dual Platform Digital Kitchen and Food Scale has revolutionized my cooking and baking experience. With its dual-platform design, this scale offers unparalleled convenience and accuracy, making it an essential tool for anyone serious about their kitchen endeavors.
The larger platform supports up to 11 pounds, ideal for measuring bulk ingredients or large portions, while the smaller precision platform is perfect for weighing ingredients up to 16 ounces with remarkable accuracy. This dual capability allows me to seamlessly switch between tasks without sacrificing precision, whether I’m baking delicate pastries or preparing meals for the week.
The scale’s sleek black design with stainless steel accents not only looks professional but is also incredibly durable and easy to clean, ensuring that it stands up to daily use. The digital display is clear and easy to read, with straightforward controls that make operation a breeze.
What sets the KitchenAid KQ909 apart is its ability to measure in multiple units, including grams, ounces, pounds, and kilograms, making recipe conversion simple and eliminating any guesswork. The tare function is another highlight, allowing me to subtract the weight of containers and accurately measure ingredients in a bowl.

Pretty accurate!
I had a feeling our old Mainstays kitchen scale was off, so I bought this KitchenAid scale to replace it. My wife is a technician and has weights to calibrate checkout scales at stores. I put 6 lbs of weight on the large platform, it measures 5 lbs 15.7 oz. Pretty accurate! I then put 8 oz on the small platform, it measures 8.009 oz. Again, pretty accurate! Our old one measures 4 lbs 10.4 oz with 6 lbs of weights on it. VERY inaccurate! Kitchenaid, you did a fantastic job with this scale! Thank you! I would definitely recommend it!

Very Nice Kitchen Measurement with Dual Scales
My son has been on a health kick for a while now and needed to upgrade to a larger scale to hold a dinner plate to measure his quantities for dinner. Makes it easier to keep adding to the existing plate and recording the readings vs. measuring in a bowl then adding to the plate. With the previous smaller scale you couldn’t see the reading with something as large as a dinner plate. That was very annoying. The large and small scales on this unit give the same measurements compared to our previous smaller scale. Everything seems to be very accurate. Since we had this I started using it to portion out my homemade dog food in the same size (weight) vs. guessing how much was in a cup and if the cup was packed or unpacked, which can vary the quantity quite a bit.

Generally works well.
It works as expected but if I’m honest it annoys me that the larger scale isn’t consistent with measurements. It will vary the displayed weight based on where on a plate you put food so it’s not as precise as I would like.

Best scale for food
I got this scale for baking and to track macros. I really love that the scale and the screen are separate from each other so that way I can have a large bowl or plate on the scale, and can easily see the screen

Barely decent until it stops working after a few cleaning sprays
When I got this kitchen scale 3 years ago, it seem “decent” to weight food. The main platform seemed to have accuracy issues where the food fluctuated between 5-8 grams of a 500 grams item ( bowl + food). You could test this by just raising the bowl and putting it back on the scale and it will have 5-8 grams of error each time.
This issue was only compensated by the smaller scale platform accuracy which was overall better. Only issue with the smaller scale platform is seems to have a weight limit ~700g, plus space is definitely narrower for a big bowl.
Also there is the power off issue where it would not power off if it not stable on the counter, which is a dumb idea because that prevented me to power off the device while it was on my hand. Also this would become an issue later when it stop working and can’t be power off unless the batteries are take out.
And then there is the batteries. Who designs an electronic device that takes 3 batteries?! It should always be in pairs (2, 4, 6, 8 …) because most rechargeable batteries charges will only charge them in pairs. I know this is probably a small issue but this annoyed me every time I needed to recharge my lithium batteries.
Now the main issue after 3 years of usage: it is nowhere water resistant. There were a few times where I needed to clean it by spraying multi purpose cleaner (small spray quantity as I know is not water proof) due to spilling a few drops of raw meat water while weighting. Now it says always UNSE/ERR on the display which it wasn’t unstable because it was stable on my counter top. I could also see that inside the display there is water and humidity which indicates that water has entered through the display cavity.
While I know it says is no water proof, I would definitely think that it should resist more than a few cleaning sprays because at the end of the day you might be weighing raw food.
Definitely this scale is not worth its price.

Great choice for the price
Precise and very practical to have two scales in one. Battery lasts more than other scales I’ve had.

Love it
I tried a couple of other scales but this is my favorite. Seems very accurate. Measures to .01 grams. Easy to use and very nice looking on the counter.

Súper funcional para pesar tus alimentos si llevas régimen alimenticio o para cocinar con porciones exactas.
Puedes usar ambas básculas al mismo tiempo sin problemas

Very happy and not only use the scale in the kitchen, but also for all other weight purposes (ie parcels, letters).
Great functional scale and was listed on Amazon at a real good price too.
Very happy- only wish would be a memory function… but so it is.
Very responsive and accurate.

muito linda. prática. e compacta. fácil de limpar.
a balança da área menor é ótima para pesar pequenas quantidades. tem ela tem 2 dÃÂgitos depois da virgula. ou seja, 80,25g por exemplo.
Cliente de Amazon –
Es muy bonita, ligera y útil, ligeramente costosa, sin embargo era de esperarse por ser de buena marca.
