I just got this scale to replace an older digital scale that broke, and I’m very impressed.
To weigh yourself, you step on the scale, wait about 3-4 seconds for the scale to stabilize, and look at the reading. The weight is easy to read — large numerals with a backlight. The only drawback of the backlight is that it will increase battery usage. You have a choice of units — pounds, kilograms, or stones.
The scale itself is very sleek and low profile. It’s 11.8 inches (width) x 11.7 inches. Some scales (both digital and analog) make a clunking sound as you step on, but this is totally silent.
Like most digital scales, it has to be placed on a hard surface such as tile or wood.
Some digital scales have a “fake repeatability.” That is, if you weigh yourself, and then hold a small weight and step on again, it gives exactly the same value. This scale doesn’t have this undesirable feature. If you hold a small weight, it gives an honest result.
I measured the variability of nine readings. The range (max minus min) was 0.4 pounds, and the standard deviation was 0.12 pounds. This is excellent, and much better than my previous scale.
I think that the absolute reading is very close to correct, but I haven’t had a chance yet to compare this scale to the one at my doctor’s office.
The instructions warn that the glass surface is slippery when wet. It’s not a scale you want to use after stepping out of the shower or bath.
We really like this scale. One of the factors that we wanted is a back lit LCD display. Not only is it well back lit but the numbers are easy for me to read even without my glasses. I agree with the other reviews I’ve read on the scale’s functionality, accuracy, etc. Our only complaint is that our previous scales would work in our carpeted bathroom. The old scale had a hard clear plastic board between the scale and the carpet. The new scale would not function with even the minor softness of the set up. We’ve now moved it to a tile floor and it works fine.
Scale is of excellent design. The dial, however, never quite settles on a particular weight, no matter how still one is upon the scale platform.
