2 out of 5 stars Inconsistent readouts   May 4, 2010
Bombadil (Wisconsin USA)
I've owned this scale for 2 years. It is stylish, the digital display is easy to read. It continues to work, in the sense that it continues to display something when you step on it. However the problem is that the measurements are inconsistent. They can vary by 6 to 8 pounds in successful measurements.

This morning I stepped on it and got the exact same reading 4 times in a row. Then I stepped on it a fifth time and it read 4 pounds heavier. It then held that reading two more times. On the 8th time, it went back to the first measurement.

A couple of days ago I stepped on it 6 times and got 4 different measurements, with a difference of 7 pounds between the lightest and heaviest.

So it only gives me a rough idea of what I weigh. If that is all you seek, then it does a good job. But if you are trying to determine if you are gaining or losing weight from day to day, from week to week, it is almost worthless.



1 out of 5 stars Didn't last a year   February 27, 2009

This scale has died after less than a year of use.I figured that a scale manufactured by such a reputable company would be reliable. I am very disappointed.


2 out of 5 stars Erratic Readings   December 9, 2008

The scale looks great! But if you are looking for consistent readings, look elsewhere. It will read within a couple of pound of your weight, but for most people such accuracy is inadequate. Their spec is .2 pounds. Their quality control was sleeping at the wheels when they shipped my unit out. Also, I would not recommend you weigh anything less than 20 pounds. The inconsistency goes off the scale!

The position of the feet on the scale appears to make a difference in reading. The scale was supposedly designed to correct for such imbalance, but I sure did not notice it.

All their printed material comes in every language in the world except ENGLISH! I guess they assumed that all English readers intuitively know how to use the scale.

One of the reasons I purchased this scale was to weigh my luggage for airline checkin. Positioning the bags on the scale is cumbersome and again the reading was unreliable. After you pay your $75.00 penalty you will understand my review very well!






3 out of 5 stars Not bad   August 15, 2008

I bought this product to help keep track of my success in losing weight. The product is nice looking & not bulky. It turns on & off fine for me. The only concern I have - (since I like to do this) is when I weigh myself then i step off and try it again.... sometimes it fluctuates the weight within 3 lbs different. That aint gonna help me if I'm trying to see if I lost weight in the last week! I wish it was more accurate -- but I know it's pretty close each time.
