Product Description

High tech accuracy, exceptional convenience and sleek good looks come together in the Omega Ultra Slim Digital Bathroom Scale, making it a top choice for anyone who is serious about weight management. This thoughtful design solves common problems of the average digital scale.
Sense-On Technology for Instant Readout
One nuisance about most digital scales is that you have to tap them with your foot to activate them, then wait, then step on. The Omega eliminates that problem with its advanced Sense-On technology. Just step right on it, and you'll see the readout within a couple of seconds.
10 Seconds Hold Display
The average digital scale's readout disappears the moment you step off it, even though many people find it more comfortable to look at the display after they've stepped off. But the Omega's display will stay visible for 10 seconds, giving you plenty of time to view it at your convenience. Then it will turn off automatically to preserve battery life. (Batteries are included.)
4 High Precision G Sensors for Extreme Accuracy
Omega understands that when your health depends on weight control, getting an accurate readout every time is crucial. That's why the latest technology has been engineered into this digital scale, which will give your weight to the nearest 0.2 pound (3 oz.), up to 400 lbs. (180 kgs). Superior workmanship delivers reliable results over the long haul, and is ensured with a two year warranty.
Easy to Read, Safe to Use
The Omega's display can be read from any distance and in any light condition, thanks to the large 3.5" LCD display and LED backlight. It's also easy to step and stand on the generously sized 12" x 12" platform with a safe, nonslip surface. The Omega's ultra slim profile, made of lightweight, yet strong and durable, aluminum and plastic, is as functional as it is stylish.
4 AAA batteries included

5.0 out of 5 stars Tickled pink, with my new Omega! May 4, 2010

By Shiloh True TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

I have a beaten-up, Taylor scale, that's about ten, plus, years old. I resisted getting rid of it, because it's the most accurate scale I've ever owned. It's spot-on with my Dr's very expensive scale and the scale at my workplace. But, in the last few months, it has gotten quirky. It remains accurate, but I have to jump around on it like a trampoline, to make it come on. It was time to say goodbye to my old faithful friend. It's so sad; we've shared so many diets together; so many successes and failures. Sigh!

I'm not sure why I settled on the Omega, with SO many choices, but I'm glad that I did. The scale is very thin and modern in appearance. It would be attractive in any setting and, it functions exactly as advertised.

I love the features including: auto on, the extra large LCD display, the weight units in kg, or lbs, the 0.2 lb graduation and the fact that it does come with batteries to get you started. I'm also glad there is a "lo" battery indicator.

Your weight is locked in, for approximately 10 seconds, after weighing. How cool is that! This affords an extra 10 seconds to berate yourself for failure, or maybe to bask in the victory of dropping a couple of pounds. More seriously, it would also be great for someone having trouble seeing around their expansive tummy---or perhaps to weigh yourself and then yourself with an object you would like to weigh---like your toddler, or the dog.

Popping in the batteries and, weighing in for the first time, only took a couple of minutes. And, I'm ecstatic, because I obtained the same weight as my old Taylor scale.

Because of the clean lines of the scale, it appears it will be very easy to keep clean, which is a bonus, too. I'm wondering about battery life, because this thing lights up like a landing strip, but it sure does make it easy to see, particularly if stumbling into the bathroom first thing in the morning, sans glasses or contacts.

I think this would be a great scale for seniors, or anyone with balance issues. The platform is large enough to accommodate almost everyone, unless you're Charles Barkley, but it's so low to the ground, that it might prevent stumbling.

Yes, I'm tickled pink! Of course durability will remain to be seen, since it has only just arrived. But in spite of being so thin, it appears sturdy and well made. We'll see, but right now, I'm happy, happy.

ONE YEAR anniversary (May 2011) UPDATE: My Omega is still going strong, on the same batteries that came with it, one year ago. It has been used two, to three times daily, for the last year. Accuracy remains dependable, and, it shows no wear. A little wipe-down, and it looks exactly like it did right out of the box. So, in conclusion, I'm still happy, happy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The clear winner in the bizarre Amazon bathroom scale wars! December 20, 2011

By Sophie

I needed a good, accurate bathroom scale so I headed to Amazon like usual. Once I started reading the reviews, I was amazed at the fierce competition in the bathroom scale world...and unfortunately all the fake reviews and bribed reviews made it near impossible to figure out what to buy.

I eliminated the brand with the gazillion reviews on all their scales after reading that their reviewers were promised free goods among other things if they left a good review. I had a tough time figuring out if the haters on the other ones were real and those scales were garbage, or if they were also paid off (someone mentioned that reviewers get paid on elance - for good and bad reviews).

So here I was, wanting to eat cookies but not knowing if I'd gain 20 pounds from said cookies. Do I eat 2, 4 or 10? What would the weighty damage be? I was in a real pickle without a scale!

I checked out the Omega brand and overall they seemed the least controversial (and Amazon is awesome about returns) so I took a chance on this one. I'm glad I did. It works. It's accurate (yes lady that asks everyone if they put weights on it to test it...I actually did that). It has big numbers I can read easily so that I know to either stop eating cookies or go ahead and have another. Best of all, it's simple. I need simple, life is complicated enough I don't want to have to get a master's degree to figure out how to operate my bathroom scale.

I use it every day and it has performed perfectly every single day. When it comes to weighing myself, that part of my life is simple and dependable thanks to this scale. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Scale , Sleek Stunning with Precision Accuracy March 17, 2010

By Rosmarie Riley

We bought this scale to replace an older Taylor model. This scale is way beyond our expectations. We love the combination of stunning style with high quality digital accuracy. The readings are consistent and accurate every time. The large number display is terrific. You can see the numbers without bending down even in low light situations. We also enjoy the sense-on technology with no more tapping to turn on the scale. You simply step on and get a reading. Would highly recommend to others.
