MyWeigh i2500 Scale — The Tabletop Scale That Counts for You
The MyWeigh i2500 scale is a digital tabletop weighing scale with a 2,500-gram capacity, 0.5g resolution, and a built-in counting function that takes the tedium out of inventory work. You can buy the MyWeigh i2500 scale knowing it weighs, tallies, and counts individual pieces — and it does all three without you needing a calculator or a second pair of hands. If you regularly weigh herbs, supplements, cooking ingredients, or small components in batches, this is the workhorse that sits on your counter and just gets on with it.
What Sets the MyWeigh i2500 Scale Apart from Pocket Scales
The MyWeigh i2500 scale is a full-sized tabletop unit with a wide platform, a removable stainless steel weighing bowl, and a backlit LCD display — three things most pocket scales simply cannot offer. Most digital scales in the shop are pocket-sized — great for portability, not so great when you need to weigh larger quantities or work through multiple items in one session. The i2500 feels solid on a countertop. There's a noticeable heft to it — the kind that stops it sliding around when you're loading the bowl.
The net/gross weighing feature is where it earns its keep. You weigh item one, tare, weigh item two, tare, and keep going — up to 50 items in a single session. When you're done, hit the NW/GW button and the display shows your total accumulated weight. No pen and paper, no mental arithmetic. We've had customers tell us they switched from pocket scales to this specifically because they got tired of writing down individual weights and adding them up.
The one honest limitation: 0.5g increments. If you need 0.01g precision for very small quantities, this isn't your scale — you'd want something like the MyWeigh Triton T2 for that. But for kitchen prep, herb blending, supplement portioning, or counting out small components, half-gram steps are more than adequate across that full 2,500g range.

The Counting Function — How It Actually Works
The counting function calculates the average weight of a sample of identical items and then divides the total batch weight by that average to produce an exact piece count. You place a known sample on the platform: either 10, 20, 50, or 100 identical pieces. The MyWeigh i2500 scale determines the average piece weight from that sample. Then you dump your full batch on, and the display tells you exactly how many pieces you've got.
The accuracy of the count depends on how uniform your items are. With machine-made capsules or hardware, it's spot-on. With natural products that vary slightly in weight, a larger sample size (50 or 100 pieces) gives you a tighter average and a more reliable count. That's a practical tip we'd give anyone using this feature for the first time: use the largest sample size you can be bothered to count out by hand. The 30 seconds of extra setup pays off.
Why You Should Order a Proper Tabletop Scale
A tabletop scale handles larger volumes, offers a more stable platform, and typically includes features like cumulative weighing that pocket models lack entirely. Pocket scales are brilliant for what they do, but they've got real limits. Small platforms mean spillage. Tiny displays mean squinting. And most of them top out at 500g or 1,000g — fine for single-item weighing, useless for batch work. The MyWeigh i2500 scale handles up to 2,500 grams, which is enough for serious kitchen sessions or workshop tasks without needing to split your material across multiple weighings.
The backlit display is worth mentioning because anyone who's tried reading a non-backlit scale in a dimly lit kitchen knows the frustration. The i2500's LCD glows clearly enough to read at arm's length, even under the warm lighting most kitchens have. It's a small thing, but it matters when you're using the scale daily.
Battery life is respectable thanks to the auto-off feature — the scale powers down after a period of inactivity, so you won't come back to dead batteries because you forgot to switch it off. Four AAA batteries come in the box, which is a nice touch. No hunting through drawers before your first weigh-in.
And then there's the warranty. 30 years. That's not a typo. MyWeigh backs this scale for three decades, which tells you something about how they build their products. We've been selling MyWeigh scales since the early days of the shop, and the return rate is vanishingly low. They're built like they expect you to actually use them every day — because that's exactly what most customers do. According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), accurate weighing equipment is considered essential for harm reduction in dosing contexts — a principle that applies equally to supplement portioning, herbal preparation, and culinary work.
How to Use the MyWeigh i2500 Scale
Setting up the MyWeigh i2500 scale takes under two minutes: insert batteries, power on, place on a flat surface, and tare the bowl before your first measurement.
- Insert the 4 AAA batteries (included) and power on the scale using the on/off button.
- Place the scale on a flat, stable surface — uneven surfaces throw off readings on any scale, and the i2500 is no exception.
- If using the included stainless steel weighing bowl, place it on the platform and press the TARE button to zero the display before adding your material.
- For single-item weighing, place your item on the platform and read the weight directly from the backlit LCD.
- For cumulative weighing, weigh your first item, press TARE to reset to zero, then add the next item. Repeat for up to 50 items. Press the NW/GW button at any point to see the total accumulated weight.
- For counting, select your sample size (10, 20, 50, or 100 identical pieces), place the sample on the platform, and confirm. Then add your full batch — the display shows the total piece count.
- The scale auto-powers off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life. To resume, simply press the power button.
Complete your weighing setup: get a MyWeigh Triton T2 pocket scale for precision work under 1,000g at 0.1g resolution — a solid companion to the MyWeigh i2500 scale when you need finer measurements on smaller quantities. For kitchen herb preparation, pair the i2500 with a quality grinder from the Azarius grinders category to portion and process in one session. If you're exploring herbal blending, the Azarius herbs and seeds collection has a wide range of botanicals ready for weighing and mixing. For background reading on weighing best practices and harm reduction, the Azarius encyclopedia covers dosing principles in detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the MyWeigh i2500 scale weigh in ounces as well as grams?
Yes — the i2500 offers multiple weighing units. You can toggle between grams and other units using the mode button on the front panel. The primary display resolution is 0.5g in gram mode.
Is 0.5g resolution accurate enough for kitchen use?
For most kitchen tasks — portioning herbs, measuring baking ingredients, weighing spices — 0.5g steps are more than sufficient. You'd only need finer resolution (0.1g or 0.01g) for very small quantities under 10g, where a pocket scale is the better tool.
How does the net/gross weighing work on the i2500?
Weigh your first item, tare to zero, weigh the next, tare again — repeat up to 50 times. The scale tracks the cumulative total in the background. Press NW/GW to switch between the current item's net weight and the running gross total of all items weighed.
Does the counting function work with items of different sizes?
No — counting requires identical items. The scale averages the weight of your sample (10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces) and divides the total batch weight by that average. If items vary significantly in weight, the count will be off. Use the largest sample size possible for best accuracy.
What does the 30-year warranty actually cover?
MyWeigh's 30-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, according to MyWeigh's published warranty terms. Normal wear, battery replacement, and damage from misuse aren't included — but for a scale at this price point, a 30-year commitment from the manufacturer is essentially unheard of. Keep your proof of purchase.
Can I use the i2500 with a mains adapter instead of batteries?
The i2500 runs on 4 AAA batteries, which are included. MyWeigh does produce AC adapters for some models, but the i2500 is designed primarily for battery operation. The auto-off feature keeps battery consumption low — most users get months of regular use from a single set.
How big is the weighing platform?
The i2500 is a tabletop unit with a platform large enough to hold the included stainless steel bowl comfortably. It's noticeably bigger than a pocket scale — built for counter use, not for carrying around. Expect it to take up roughly the same space as a hardback book.
