I love this scale. That said, I will start with the issues that others have been concerned about.

1.There is a brief wait to get the scale up and running. At first this was a bit annoying but I keep record of my readings so now I've learned to just tap the scale with my foot, press set and adjust the scale to my setting, then open my logbook. The couple of seconds it takes me to get the logbook ready cuts down on the time I'm waiting.

2.Accuracy - This scale comes down about 3-4 pounds heavier than my last scale and I believe it to be an accurate reading based on my trips to the doctor.

3.Consistency - Very consistent. I regularly re-weigh myself and the weight is dead on accurate. If I drink a half a glass of water between the readings it registers in tenths of a pound as well as the other readings.

4.ERR Msg - I have never seen this. On my past scale this usually meant the batteries needed replacing. Not sure if this is the case here, but it's worth trying.

The additional features on this scale are what I really appreciate. It seems to be a good deal for the price to be able to see % of body fat, water, muscle, and BMI along with a daily calorie recommendation for weight maintenance. I also love the fact that is has four separate settings so that different members of the family can get their personalized readings.

Overall this is a very useful tool for the family interested in pursuing physical wellness.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does Not Work!, January 10, 2010

This is the second Taylor digital scale I have purchased and I have been very disappointed with both of them. When standing on the scale, it is impossible to get a reading unless standing perfectly still and motionless for 5 seconds or more. The numbers keep shifting and never arrive at a final reading, and eventually the scale either displays an ERR message, or automatically turns off. The numbers displayed seem to vary widely with even the slightest of movements. Perhaps the scale is TOO sensitive for weighing a human body... I don't need accuracy to the tenth of a pound, just to the pound is sufficient. The problem must lie with a poor scale design.
