I bought this scale for my mother, since she has a hard time seeing and I wanted a scale that was easy for her to read. This scale does the job perfectly. The numbers are large and backlit, making the display easy to read.

The only thing that took a little bit to get use to, was you have to tap the scale first (to give it a wake up call), then wait for it to go to "0.0" before you step on. The scale is matched perfectly with the ones in the doctors office too.

I highly recommend this scale to anyone, and i'm very glad I found this.

I really like this scale. It's very accurate according to my doctor's beam scale. So easy to use I have never read the instruction manual. I like the looks and large size.

Give it a tap with your foot, it turns itself on and zeros. Nice large digital readout so I don't need my glasses to read it. Does both Kg and pounds via a little switch on the bottom.

Notes very minor changes in weight and actually it's fun to see the weight you have lost overnight from the "before bedtime" weighing. I have not used the dual user and weight tracking features as yet.

The scale is very sturdy, looks good, it's low to the ground and large enough for big guys to step on without a problem. I highly recommend.

This is the best scale out there. It will keep a log of two users should you want that feature. (I don't) It weights to the tenth of a pound and is extremely accurate. It is a nice large and sturdy scale.

This meter is mostly accurate. Sometimes I do notice the weight to be different if I put the meter on a different hard surface. The difference is +- 1 pound. The display is bright and easy to read. Standing surface area is also very good. It is more than adequate. The memory function also works as expected.

This scale is better than I had hoped. Power saving mode that comes on with just a tap of the foot, calibrates itself to zero then just step on for an accurate weight. Scale shuts itself off after a few seconds.

The scale can track two separate individuals, but we've not found this to be very convenient, when we are equipped with a biologic computer (brain) that does the same thing easier.

We use this to track our own weights and the weights of our three dogs. One we want to gain weight, one's too fat and dieting, and the other's just a puppy.

This scale is sensitive enough to track the puppy's weight gain progress, of course we have to hold the dogs when weighing, then weigh ourselves again without the dog and deduct the difference to get the dogs' weights, but it's fun and accurate! Different people doing the same thing, all getting the same weight for the dogs tells us this scale is spot on! (Pun intended).

The scale numbers are big and back lit in blue and are very easy to read, especially for those with failing eyesight. Overall, I am very impressed with the quality and accuracy, and the price was great too!. I highly recommend this scale for all ages.

Does everything it's supposed to do. I outgrew the capacity of my old scale, and couldn't properly track my weight with any kind of accuracy. For a very reasonable price this large scale does everything they say it does, with precise digital accuracy. Great buy, very good value.

Although this scale works fairly well, there are some important things to know before using or buying it, such as: The description says that batteries are included, but they're not; The manual says you can switch between lbs and kg but you can't (there is no switch like the manual says there is); The manual also says you can set up 2 user profiles and the scale will save their weights, but it won't display that; And there is a 40-lb difference when the scale is on a carpeted surface vs. a hard floor.

None of these are huge issues, but it was annoying to be surprised by so many things when I took it out of the box. I think maybe the manual doesn't match the model of the scale I was sent? The "available" menus and switches are literally not on the scale, even though the pictures in the manual clearly show them.

A couple of redeeming qualities are that the scale is fairly consistent when placed on a hard surface (+/- 2 lbs), and the display screen is very easy to read from far away. It's fine for one person to periodically check his or her weight, but don't count on the weight tracker or user profile features that are advertised.

Used this meter for couple of weeks now, so far so good. There are times when I question the accuracy; once a while it gives the wrong weight, so I had to weight twice just to make sure. Also, the memory on this unit is kind of a hassle to use, you have to press until the right memory reading comes on.

Scale worked perfectly out of the box. Compared to old scale and the weight is the same. I didn't have the inconsistency or troubles that others had. No matter where I place scale in the room, no matter how many times I get on and off, the weight is the same. For the cost, this is exactly what I wanted. No problems whatsoever. I wholeheartedly recommend.

It took only three days to have this delivered from the date it was ordered. I was not only pleased with the fast service but also with the scale. My weight read the same as my doctor's scale, it is very accurate. I like the fact it tells you how much you have gained or lost since the last time you weighed yourself. I would recommend this scale to anyone looking for accuracy at a great price.
