No sourced tester review yet.
Only one whitelisted hands-on tester (Tom's Guide) reviewed this exact KQ909; Wirecutter, Good Housekeeping, Serious Eats and Reviewed had no coverage. Their verdict is positive: accurate, compact and genuinely precise on the second platform, earning Editor's Choice. Main flaws: off-center readings drop weight, no bowl, and raised platforms trap flour. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Accurate — the main platform even registered a 1g calibrated weight, a test other scales have failed; Dual platform delivers real 0.001oz precision for yeast or coffee without needing a second gadget; Compact and slim, easy to store, with a clear LCD that settles on a reading instantly.
Flagged: Off-center weights on the large platform read low (dropped ~1g, or missed a 1g weight entirely); No bowl included; Raised platforms trap fine ingredients like flour and show fingerprints; not dishwasher-safe.
