The Mettler’s accuracy to within 0.1 gram is sufficient to weigh something as small as a teaspoon of baking powder and its range of up to 35 pounds/16,000 grams makes it possible to weigh ingredients for a large wedding cake in one huge bowl.
The accuracy of the My Weigh KD-7000 and the Über is to within 1 gram, making it suitable for quantities larger than small amounts of baking powder. My Weigh does produce a scale accurate to 0.1 gram up to 300 grams, the MX300 (around $30), and one accurate to 0.01 gram up to 200 grams, the i201 (around $100). The KD-7000 weighs from 1 gram/0.1 ounce to 7,000 grams/15 pounds 7 ounces. The Über weighs from 1 gram up to 6,000 grams/13 pounds 3.5 ounces.
