KitchenAid digital kitchen scale KQ908 — 11 lb tempered glass, black with stainless trim and rotary control, backlit display

The KitchenAid KQ908 is a tempered glass digital kitchen scale with an 11-pound capacity, rotating unit knob, and tare function for precise dry and liquid measurements.

Compact and visually modern, this KitchenAid glass-surface scale combines a clean stainless-steel accent, a large backlit display, and an oversized rotary control inspired by KitchenAid ovens. It measures in ounces, grams, milliliters and fluid ounces, handles containers with the tare feature, and is tempered for safety and easy cleaning. The scale runs on three AAA batteries (included) and automatically powers down after a short period of inactivity to conserve energy.

How accurate and versatile is the weight range for recipes?

The KQ908 supports both small recipe tasks and larger batches with a maximum capacity of 11 lb (5000 g) and minimum resolution down to 0.1 oz or 1 g depending on the unit. It converts between dry and liquid units so you can weigh flour, sugar, milk or water on the same platform without manual calculations.

• Dry max: 11 lb (0.1 oz increments) / 5000 g (1 g increments).
• Liquid max: 176 fl oz (0.1 fl oz increments) / 5000 mL (1 mL increments).
• Quick unit switching via the rotary knob—ounces, grams, mL, fl oz.

How does the tare and multi-ingredient weighing work?

The oversized rotary knob doubles as the tare and power control: twist to choose units, push to zero the display, and push again to power on/off. Use tare to subtract container weight or to add multiple ingredients into one bowl while recording each addition separately.

• Push knob to reset weight to zero after placing a bowl or first ingredient.
• Weigh successive ingredients cumulatively without removing the bowl.
• Simple tactile control makes quick adjustments while cooking or baking.

What features make the scale easy to use and maintain?

The smooth tempered glass platform resists stains and odors and wipes clean quickly with a damp cloth; do not immerse or place in a dishwasher. A large 1.0" backlit LCD keeps numbers easy to read in low light, and the unit includes three AAA batteries so it works right out of the box.

• Tempered glass surface for safety and effortless wiping.
• Bright backlit readout for clear visibility.
• Auto shut-off after inactivity to extend battery life.

How does the design fit into a modern kitchen?

KitchenAid designed the KQ908 with a stainless-steel trim and a distinctive rotary knob that echoes the brand’s appliance styling, giving it a polished look on countertops. Its low profile and compact footprint make it easy to store or leave on display without overwhelming the prep area.

• Black glass surface with stainless accent for a coordinated look.
• Compact footprint fits on counters or slides into drawers.
• Rotary control adds tactile, appliance-inspired detail.

Who is this for? Home cooks, bakers, and anyone who needs reliable portioning will appreciate this scale’s combination of accuracy, easy-to-read display, and quick tare control. It suits people who switch between dry and liquid measurements, those who prefer a sleek countertop accessory, and users who want a safe, low-maintenance surface that complements KitchenAid appliances.
