We have looked for a suitable partner to the KD8000 scale and we think that this is it. It attracted us particularly as not only does it have the features of a professional-quality scale, it is the first available made from hemp-based plastic, a natural composite material.
With a backlit display, set forward, it is easy to read it with a large bowl on the platform. The MyWeigh i5000H measures up to 5kg in 1g (or 11lb in 0.05oz) increments, with a tare (set to zero) function and also a counting facility.
The i5000H is a professional scale, rather than a domestic kitchen scale and so has an automatic calibration mechanism for maintained accuracy, using an inbuilt load-cell.
The i5000H has a novel "Add n Weigh" feature which allows for the cumulative weighing of items. This means you can place an item on the scale, see it's weight, press the TARE key, then place another item, see that items' weight, then press the NW/GW key to see the combined weight of the items. You can also press the NW/GW key again to go back to the Add N Weigh process.
The i5000H comes complete with a mixing bowl and a 30 year warranty and is an excellent choice for the home baker wanting quality, accuracy, ease of use and reduced environmental impact.
