The Most Crazy

PROS

1. Consistency – Get on the scale, get off, get back on. Repeat as many times as you want. You are going to get the same weight. No fluctuations or hickups. Biggest single thing I needed in a scale.

2. Accuracy – I actually brought this scale to my Weight Watchers class and compared to what they had (beam scale). Dead on accurate within .2 pounds.

3. Regular batteries – Doesn’t take any fancy batteries. Put in the four AAA batteries that came with it and I was off and running.

4. Sturdy platform – Will not tip over. Base is sturdy and low to the ground. Plenty of room to maneuver.

5. Backlit Display – Don’t have to hunch over to read this display. Its the biggest I have owned on a scale by far.

6. Easy activation – Just step on this scale. No hitting buttons to turn it on. No tapping. Step on and get a weight!

CONS

So far none. Will update in the future if that changes.

Would buy this scale again and definitely will be giving it as a gift to friends and family in the future.

My purchase arrived within a week of order (I did not use expedited shipping). I took it out of the package and the thing that struck me first was how lightweight it was. I installed the four included batteries and away I went weighing everything in sight to see if I could get consistent readings. First up was my four year old daughter. She stepped on, stepped off, and stepped on again. Same weight! Next was my husband, who reluctantly performed the same task. Same weight both times!!

Next it was my turn. I, of course, was not about to weigh-in “group style.” So I ran the scale up to my bathroom. I stepped on, stepped off, and stepped on again. Uh-oh. Different weight. BUT, I stepped on again and got the same weight I got the second time around. I did that three or four more times and got the same weight again and again. Afterwards, I went downstairs and read the owner’s manual for the scale.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: IF YOU MOVE THE SCALE (AND I MEAN EVEN AN INCH OR SO), YOU NEED TO TAP IT ON AND LET IT TURN ITSELF OFF. THIS PROCESS IS WHAT MAKES THE SCALE ACCURATE. IF YOU MOVE IT AND IMMEDIATELY WEIGH YOURSELF, YOU WILL GET A DIFFERENT WEIGHT BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND READINGS.

The LCD screen is bright and super-easy to read. Readings appear to be accurate . . . I correlated them with an archaic dial scale I have where you can roll the dial to zero the scale. One of the surprising finds for me about this scale is that it is so slim in height that my doors can breeze right over the top without coming in contact with it. That means in my ultra-cramped quarters I don’t have to constantly reposition it. Awesome!!

I highly recommend this product. Go ahead . . . buy it. You know you want to : )

I have had three other bathroom scales before. All of them measured with an error up to 1 lb per weighting. I had to hit them and step at least three times and average the result to get accurate reading. Makes you want to hit them harder every time.

But this scale is a blessing.

Here are my pros:

- Fine precision, measures right every time

- Big back-lit screen

- No need to hit it, just step on it

- Has a switch for pounds and kilograms – this was very important for me and it was not written clearly on the product description

- Looks nice, feels stable and well built

- Price. Normally you would suspect to pay a premium for the best product. But here you receive it for the normal price of other similar not so good products

Cons:

- My 2 year old likes it very much and weighs herself a lot for fun. Not a con actually :)

Conclusion:

If you need a bathroom scale, look no further, BUY THIS ONE!

Wow, this scale is sooo easy to use, just step on and your weight appears and flashes. All on an easy to read illuminated dial. Great for those early winter mornings in Michigan when it is dark until 8:00 AM. My old scale required me to tap it, wait for three zeros to appear and then I could finally step on it to get my weight recorded. And I had to turn on the lights to see the readout.
