Scale does what is says... everything listed is true and it is thin and neat looking also. I am very pleased I purchased this scale. Even my 5 yr old son uses this and he has his own personal number that remembers his information (well it may not be totally correct for him but he thinks it is and he feels very important and health is very important to him).... I would recommend it, definitely.

I bought this from wal-mart and had to return it after few days. All I wanted was a scale that gives me an accurate reading. I weight myself every morning right before getting in the shower. With this, on day one I weight 138, on day two I weight 135.6, on day three I weight 129, few seconds later I weight 130, and few more seconds later I weight 135. It happened to my husband as well.

If the scale were completely accurate, I'd give it five stars, but when I step on the scale once and try to record all the information, and then step on it again, the results can be up to a whole pound in weight different, then also throwing the percentage of body fat, hydration, bone mass, and bone density off. The display also changes a bit too quickly from one mode to another, and then automatically shuts off, meaning, I have to get back on the scale more than once to get all the information I'm looking for. When it changes on me, it throws my confidence in the accuracy of the device. If you don't have to be very precise, it's fine, and would do the job over time. If you want precise information that comes out the same when you step on it a minute later, this isn't the one for you.
