Nice Scale

2008-06-13
I've found this scale to be reasonably accurate. I get the same reading within a couple pounds as I did at my doctor's office just an hour later. Also, multiple measurements resulted in the same reading within a couple of pounds. I'm about 250 and I find this reasonable. The display is large and easy to read. Make sure you place the scale on hard surface to get the most accurate readings. There is a procedure to turn the scale on before stepping on it. You must tap the lower, right corner of the scale surface and then watch the display go through a setup. When you see 0.0 on the display, it's ready for you. You must do this each time you take your weight.

It is accurate and great price. comparing with Taylor digital scale that i have had, it is much better. and i like its quick response. Highly recommend.

NOICE

2008-06-09
like someone else wrote, it does make a creaking noice when you get on, like you're overloading it, kind of makes you feel like you're putting too much weight on it, but after that, it's ok. I feel it's accurate for an inexpensive scale, about one more pound than the scales at weight watchers.

Broke but Amazon customer service is great

This scale started to have conflict readings after only 1 month: i have 3 different weights in one minute!

But good thing is, Amazon has AMAZING customer service. After my complaint, they sent me a new one. The new one has been doing a pretty good job so far, still different readings but if I step on it continually couple times there will be only 2 results: I just go with the more frequent one.

Excellent for the price

I replaced a Taylor brand scale that I had purchased for about the same price. It stopped working when I snapped the thread-thin wire that some sadist had designed to hold in the battery. Do not buy a Taylor, OK.

I bought these scales for around twenty dollars and did not have great expectations. I was surprised by the quality of the finishing and the readings were accurate (give or take .2 or .4 of a pound). I read that another reviewer had a problem learning how to use it so I took a minute to read the instructions and it worked like a charm. Our baby weighs around 28 lbs. and I weigh around 172 and when we get on together or independently the readings add up the same. Pretty happy.

I've read some of the one star reviews and it's obvious that they received damaged goods. This thing has a five year warranty so if it acts up then back it goes.

NICE SCALE WITH EXTRAS

THIS IS A NICE SCALE WITH BONUS FEATURES. BETTER THAN OTHERS AVAILABLE IN ITS PRICE RANGE. GOOD VALUE.

Inacccurate, prone to getting dirty, and just impossible for large feet.

I have owned this scale for a few months and I'm buying another one. First, it's impossible to clean between the glass plate and the metal, and it's rather gross. Second, I have never had the same reading in a row ever, it's impossible to figure out where to put your feet especially since the curve will not accommodate the arch of very large feet like mine. Third, it takes forever to start once you tap it and it shuts off quickly once it flashes. I would recommend investing in a good scale.

The one second seems to be working

I received my first scale three days ago. It worked fine for the first day. The second day it decided to reset itself every time I tried to step on it, even after waiting for it to zero out. Due to Amazon's amazing customer support and the fact that I live within an hour of Seattle, I got a replacement scale today.

This one seems to be working much better. I've weighed myself throughout the day and it seems to be within a pound or so each reading. It is reading about 6 pounds heavier than my $10 dial scale we bought 5 years ago. Tomorrow I will be weighed at the doctor's office and will know which one is more correct. Either way, I can add or subtract a few pounds as long as it is consistent, which this one seems to be. Now hopefully this one works tomorrow.

Keeps me on my toes!

Love my new scale. I weight in every morning to make sure I haven't gained any ounces. If I did, I know to watch what I eat for that day. It really keeps you on your toes.

I hate to admit it but this scale is consistently accurate. I wish sometimes it would lie, but it won't ! Easy to read dial. Easy to cleanHealth o Meter HDL820KD-18 Digital Scale with LCD
