Thinner Scale by Conair TH100 Extra Large Dial Analog Precision Scale, Black and Silver

Customer Reviews

Straightforward and Simple

2008-05-22
This is the way products used to be. No flash. No complication. Same result every time. Sensitive to a pound or two difference. Performance not critical to position on platform. Temperature differences require a minor centering of the needle before weighing, using a small wheel at the base of the scale. Checked within a couple of tenths of a pound with an accurate digital scale I have. Solid product. Unbelievable price. I considered it accurate enough to use for weight and balance calculations on my homebuilt airplane.

Indecisive scale

2008-04-23
This scale seems to change its mind by more than four pounds each time a person, or a weight, is placed upon it. Other reviewers said it was accurate, but I did not find it to be the case.

Disappointed

2008-04-21
I am disappointed with my new scale. It is difficult to set the needle to zero, it wants to go to one side or the other, it has to be reset after each use, and worse, it is reading 10 pounds light. I would not recommend it to any other buyer.

Weighs Great!

2008-04-06
What a pleasure to step on the scale and have it weigh the same almost every time. None of this on and off four times and take an average weight! Just a solid, functional scale - worth the money!

Good

2008-04-05
Works good. I wish the arrow was red so it was easier to read against the numbers.

Another Reviewer Noted...

...that any scale's readings will vary by circa 4 or 5 Lbs depending on how you shift your weight distribution while standing. That's apparently just a fact with a scales - any scale. I haven't bought one yet but I've been thoroughly reading all the reviews here for analog scales and this is the one I'm settling upon (since I had to pick some stars I picked 3 as the most neutral). Again, I haven't tried this product yet but I figure it's useful to note that the way one stands/distributes the poundage apparently affects the reading.
And this one looks good, too; hey, decor's important.

Thinner Scale - Conair

Big dial as advertised but the numbers could be larger. Great price and accurate. Does not need to be adjusted once set.

Attractive bathroom scale

2008-06-03
This is a basic and attractive bathroom scale. I have another scale that is upside down in my bathroom. "Why is it upside down?" you ask. Because it doesn't work, and I've been trying to troubleshoot why it's not working. It has all the bells and whistles, fat monitor and digital readout, but unfortunately it is impossible to get to work and it requires batteries.

That's why I am so pleased with this scale. I simply step on it and it tells me what I weigh. I am not sure if it's precise down to the nth digit. It's difficult to read down to the pound because of the small iterations between the pound marks. I am just looking at my weight to see if I am up or down a couple of pounds, and this scale does precisely that. Plus, it's really nice looking. 4 stars for looks and ease of use. Minus 1 star for not knowing your weight down to the nth level.

Cheap, Barely Does The Job

2008-06-01
Tin - Like construction. The indicator starts off the zero, but I eventually get the job done.

Good and repeatable weight measurements

2008-05-22
Overall I am pleased with this bathroom scale. I had a digital scale that drove me crazy with constantly inconsistent readings. This scale is accurate and repeatable. My only complaint is that the needle is gray and a bit difficult to see; if it were black it would be more visible.
