Comparison Magio MG-784 vs Magio MG-785

Scale Division Value. Initially, the term "division value" referred only to mechanical devices (see "Mechanism") and meant the distance between marks on the scale; however, it became customary to use this term for electronic scales as well. In both cases, the meaning of this parameter is essentially the same — it directly describes the measurement accuracy. For example, if the division value is 1 g, the weight on such devices can be measured with an accuracy of 1 g, regardless of whether it's a mechanical or electronic model.

In theory, the lower the division value, the more accurate the measurements, and the more advanced the device is. On the other hand, high accuracy affects the price, although in some situations, it is not fundamentally required. Therefore, when choosing, it is worth considering the specific use of the device. For instance, kitchen scales with a division value of 0.5 – 1 g will be invaluable for a sophisticated cook preparing complex recipes with numerous small-dose ingredients; for regular household cooking on a larger scale, an accuracy of 10 – 20 g may suffice. However, there are cases when the division value changes across the entire measurement range. For more accurate measurements (low weight), accuracy may be measured in single grams, for medium values — in tens of grams, and for heavier weights, where a margin of error of 50 – 100 grams is not so critical, accuracy may be in hundreds of grams. In such c...ases, our catalog provides a value for the overall average range (considering floor scales, this is approximately for a person weighing 70 kg).

The bowl capacity allows you to understand what volumes can be weighed in it. It can also be used for whipping and mixing dough, as well as serving as a kitchen bowl for storing food, making salads, and so on.

The material of the platform shows what the working surface of the kitchen scales is made of, where products, dishes, or the included bowl are placed. It affects the appearance, durability, moisture resistance, ease of cleaning, and how neatly the scales maintain their look with frequent use.

— Plastic. A plastic platform makes kitchen scales lightweight, inexpensive, and practical for everyday use. This material isn't afraid of common kitchen tasks, but over time it can get scratched, dull, or absorb stains from dyes and grease.

— Glass. Tempered glass gives the scales a neat appearance and is easy to clean after flour, sugar, water, or juice. Compared to plastic, this surface looks more modern and hygienic, but requires caution against bumps and falls.

— Metal. A stainless steel surface is more often found in practical kitchen scales designed for frequent use. It is resistant to odors, stains, and moisture, making it well-suited for working with meat, fish, dough, or liquid ingredients.

— Wood. A wooden working surface is less common and more design-oriented than maximally practical. It looks good in kitchens with natural materials but requires more careful maintenance and does not like prolonged contact with water.

The material of the included bowl affects how convenient it is to weigh products, wash the container, and use it with different ingredients.

— Plastic. A lightweight plastic container is convenient for everyday weighing of flour, grains, sugar, berries, or vegetables. It makes the scales more accessible and easier to handle, but over time it can scratch, become cloudy, and absorb odors or colors from products more easily.

— Metal. Stainless steel is most commonly used, which is well-suited for frequent use, especially if the bowl is used to weigh wet products, dough, meat, fish, or sauces. This type of container is durable, easy to clean, and does not absorb odors, although it may be heavier than a plastic one.

— Glass. A transparent glass container looks tidy and allows you to see the contents during weighing. Compared to plastic, it better resists odors and staining, but requires more careful handling due to the risk of breaking if dropped.
