We have had this for about a month and have had no issues. We got rid of our last scale because the accuracy was poor. To us, it looks like the accuracy of this is about plus or minus one pound (if you stand on it and it reads 150 and then stand on it five minutes later, it might read 149). The overall size makes it easy to keep in the bathroom. To use it, you tap it with your foot to turn it on and then it takes a second or two for it to calibrate. Once you stand on it, it give you your weight in a second or two. The display is easy to see.

The scale is simple, accurate, and easy to read day/night. Have this over 1 year now - works fine and no problems.

After using my parent's Health o meter digital scale, this model was the closest in similarity that I could find. Accuracy seems good (cat weighed 11.8 lbs., which is about right, though you could try holding another test weight), which is useful for keeping airline freight under the fifty pound mark. This model has a wider platform, so it is very stable. The battery compartment is readily accessible, should the lithium battery ever require replacement, which remedies a complaint I noted in reviews of other models. I am quite pleased with this purchase.

I did the research on this item before deciding to buy and from the reviews I read, felt confident in making the purchase. However, for whatever reason...I did not find the item to be as the others have stated. I ordered the item new. It came and I tried them out. I seldom got the same weight twice. I tried them on hard floors, on carpet, on throw rugs -- every way I could think of. I would weigh, step off, re-calibrate, weigh again and get a different weight. I weighed before getting into the shower and when I got out, dried off, weighed again -- I had gained 6.8 lbs just by showering! I picked up a 3-lb weight, weighed and the weight went up 3.6 lbs. the first time. I stepped off, re-calibrated to 00 just to be sure, stepped back on and weighed what I had weighed BEFORE picking up the weight. My son tested it with similar results. So I called the seller (excellent customer service, by the way!!) and they apologized, agreed to send another scale if I chose, with a pre-paid UPS label. I agreed to try another one. That one came -- same results. I could not get a consistent weight no matter what. Called the seller back and they agreed to pay for the return of both scales and to refund my money. I can only wish the scale quality was equal to the quality of the seller. I am so disappointed because the scales look wonderful -- large digital reading and super simple to use. I suppose if I get a scale that is accurate I will need to go to a store, try the scale out there and make a purchase. How inconvenient.

I have had this scale now for about 3 years. We use it on linoleum in our bathroom. At first, I was pretty happy with it, thinking it was a decent scale for the money and it seemed accurate. That's until I went for a yearly check up. This scale weighs me and my husband an average of about 5-8 lbs. heavier than the doctor's scale, and there's no way to zero-balance it.

Additionally, the first battery that it came with lasted a long time, and only recently did we see the "Lo" reading. We purchased a package of batteries recommended by the manufacturer of this scale. That was 3 weeks ago and, consistently, each week, I have had to replace the batteries because the "Lo" message appears all the time; and the accuracy of this scale has gone downhill tremendously. I know this because I have been on a weightloss regime and lost 30 lbs. The last 8 lbs, this scale has refused to show; it just refuses to move and this can be incredibly frustrating when you're trying to lose weight. A second rectification occured when my husband and I recently updated our life insurance; this meant another checkup at the doctor (and, subsequently, a different scale). The 2nd check up also revealed a 5-8 lbs. weight difference than this scale shows.

Maybe 3 years is too long to expect from a $30 scale; that could definitely be the problem.

Regardless, I'm here on Amazon shopping for a new scale, and I won't be buying this one again.

I purchased this digital scale to replace the "manual" one I had at home. It seems to be pretty accurate and works well. The only thing that bugs me is you must calibrate the scale by pressing the bottom corner every time you want to weigh yourself. It takes 2-3 seconds, but still, EVERY time I have to do this? Then wait another 2-3 seconds for the weight to show. Also, this has only happened twice in the past month (I weigh in every day since I'm on a diet) but I stepped on the scale and weighed in 30 lbs less. Yea, I wish. When I stepped off, re-calibrated and stepped back on it was back to the old weight again.

Health-o-Meter's proprietary random number generator in a cheap plastic case. Step on/off this scale in rapid succession and you might get the same number twice. Come back 2 minutes later and you'll be lucky if you're within 2-3 pounds of the first number. Absolute junk.

I was looking for a "no-frills" but modern scale. This is the one! Easy to read, large numbers for my old eyes and simple to use. Accurate. Good choice and value for the price.

Large easy to read numbers works in bright light and low light conditions

Would strongly reccomend for young and old alike

No problems with this scale so far. Seems accurate. Note that it's normal for weight to fluctuate slightly when comparing a morning weigh-in with an evening weigh-in. Seems sturdy, no problems for my 230 pound husband. I would buy this again.
