Salter #9007 Glass Lithium Scale with Black Mirror Finish

Customer Reviews

Looks good, but takes too long to record weight

2007-08-17
This scale is typical of digital scales in that it fluctuates while you're standing on it, eventually settling on your weight. This scale can take up to 5 tries before it actually settles on my weight, meaning, I need to get on and off several times before it will even stop fluctuating. This morning I just gave up, I had to go to work!

After weighing myself on a good old-fashioned scale at the gym, I found the Salter scale to be accurate if and when it settles on a weight. Also on the plus side, it looks chic and is easy to read and clean. I only wish it would work more often. If it weren't so heavy and made of glass, I'd send it back.

Bright display, fast measurements.

Just stand on it and within 4 seconds you get your weight read back to you on a big bright display. No tapping on it first to activate or anything. I wish mine was broken or something because I was a little shocked the first time I used it. It was about 15 pounds over what I was expecting. Unfortunately it's very accurate.

Lithium battery will last a long time. The mirror black finish is better than I expected it to be. I thought it would always looks dirty and smudged because it was so glass but unless you are wearing dirty boots I think it will be just fine.

I think the scale works great. Once in a while it does not get a reading right away, but that is usually when I am moving around too much. The only thing that I did not like was that the batteries went dead fairly quickly (5 months). Maybe the whole family should not weigh themselves twice a day, every day. I checked with the doctor's scale and it was withing a pound. Thats pretty good for a bathroom scale.

Salter Delivers

I am extrememly pleased with my new Salter scale. When I first received it, I hated what it had to say, but 16 pounds later, I am falling deeper and deeper in love.

Thank You, Salter!

A pretty face, but...

This is a beautiful scale, but that's about it. Blue LEDs are sexy; the design is crisp and clean. Black glass on polished marble looks great.

Unfortunately, performance is very poor. The routine goes like this: First, step on - weight eventually settles - consistently 4-5 pounds high. Second, repeat (as many as five times, no more) and take the average since the data points vary over a three pound range. This process seems to get a consistently accurate approximation of your true weight on a day-to-day basis.

Do not try to repeat for more data points because the scale "crashes" and goes into a weird mode where it just starts counting up in .2 pound increments ad infinitum. Try again and get the same counting routine, or it'll throw in a "Lo" (supposed to indicate a low battery, but I've already changed those), just for fun. Leave it alone for a few hours and it's ready to use again.

A pretty face, but junk underneath the hood...

Great Household Scale

This scale is a very accurate scale that is very stylish. It is however a little slow(2 seconds)to give the final weight. Do not pay attention to the other reviews because this is a great scale. I have had many scales and this one seems to be performing very well. I highly reccomend this scale.
