2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, April 16, 2004

By 

Aphrael (Pacific Coast USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HoMedics SC-403 Glass-Top LCD Lithium Scale (Health and Beauty)

This scale looks great, but mine didn't weigh accurately. The indicated weight changed 1/2 to 1 pound, depending upon how my weight was shifted from foot to foot. The indicated weight was always about 2 to 2-1/2 pounds heavy. I called factory customer service and was told that there was nothing that could be done about the inaccuracy except to return the scale to the place of purchase, which I did. In fairness, I took it back and tried out all of the display models in this $50 price range, and none were any better, and some were quite a bit worse. I ended up buying the Soehnle Zeta model (for twice the price) with which I am very, very happy. (I have posted a review about that scale on the page for that scale.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Accurate, but not for long!, March 30, 2004

This review is from: HoMedics SC-403 Glass-Top LCD Lithium Scale (Health and Beauty)

Bought this (...) for Christmas. It worked fine for about 3 months and then it went crazy. It gave different readings each time I would step on it, sometimes is was 30 lbs off. I changed batteries and it did not help. Customer service had no answers, threw it away on month 4.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate, September 15, 2004

This review is from: HoMedics SC-403 Glass-Top LCD Lithium Scale (Health and Beauty)

Just like the other reviews point out, this scale is inaccurate. According to this scale, my weight fluctuates within 10 pounds, depending how I stand on the scale. I tested the accuracy by putting weights on it. It read a 40lbs dumbell as being 35lbs and a 80lb as being 73lbs. So it seems the higher you go, the greater the deviation from the actual weight. Wish I had read the previous reviews before purchasing this item.
