KitchenAid Dual-Platform Digital Kitchen & Food Scale KQ909 — Black/Stainless Steel, 11 lb + 16 oz, Dual Readout

The KitchenAid KQ909 is a dual-platform digital kitchen scale that delivers two independent weighing surfaces for high-capacity and ultra-fine measurements in one slim unit.

This compact scale combines a large stainless-steel platform for bulk ingredients with a second micro-precision surface for tiny quantities, making it simple to measure everything from flour to spices without swapping tools. A two-line backlit LCD shows both platform readings at once, and each platform includes a separate tare function so you can add and zero containers or reset between ingredients. Designed to wipe clean and slide into a cabinet, the KQ909 blends accuracy and convenience for everyday cooking and baking tasks.

How accurate is each platform and what sizes can they handle?

The KQ909 separates capacity and resolution between its two platforms so you get the right scale for the job. The larger surface measures up to 11 pounds with 0.1-ounce (1 g) increments, while the smaller surface handles up to 16 ounces with ultra-fine 0.001-ounce (0.01 g) resolution for tiny amounts.

• Platform 1: 11 lb (5000 g) capacity, 0.1 oz (1 g) increments for bulk ingredients
• Platform 2: 16 oz (500 g) capacity, 0.001 oz (0.01 g) increments for spices, yeast, and small-volume items
• Each platform can be used alone or simultaneously with independent tare control

What features help when following multi-ingredient recipes?

The dual readout and separate tare functions streamline step-by-step measuring so you can add multiple items to one bowl and track each addition without moving containers. The backlit two-line display shows weights from both platforms at once, reducing errors and speeding prep.

• Independent tare per platform to zero containers or reset between ingredients
• Two-line backlit LCD displays both platform weights simultaneously
• Auto-off feature preserves battery life after three minutes of stable weight

How do I clean and store the scale in a busy kitchen?

The scale’s stainless-steel platforms resist staining and odors and wipe clean with a damp cloth—no submersion needed. Its slim footprint makes it easy to stand upright in a cupboard or slide under a shelf when not in use, keeping counters uncluttered.

• Durable stainless-steel surfaces wipe clean and won’t retain food smells
• Slim profile stores conveniently in cabinets or on pantry shelves
• Battery-powered (three AAA batteries included) for cordless use anywhere in the kitchen

What power and display conveniences should I expect?

The KQ909 runs on three AAA batteries (included) and includes an auto-shutoff to conserve power. The backlit display improves legibility in low light, and the dual readout eliminates the need to toggle between modes when using both platforms.

• Operates on three AAA batteries; batteries are included with the unit
• Auto shut-off after three minutes of no weight change to extend battery life
• Backlit LCD makes readings easy to see in any kitchen lighting

Who is this for: The KitchenAid KQ909 is ideal for home bakers, precision cooks, and meal-preppers who need one scale that handles both large batches and tiny, exact amounts. If you frequently measure dry bulk ingredients like flour or sugar and also weigh small quantities such as spices, nutritional supplements, or yeast, this model reduces clutter and improves accuracy without sacrificing countertop space.
