3.0 out of 5 stars My Weigh XL-550 Heavy Duty Scale July 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
The My Weigh XL-550 Digital Talking Scale is a well-constructed product that performs as advertised -- sort of. If you are overweight and require a heavy duty scale, please read carefully. This scale appeared to be one of the physically widest consumer-grade scales on the current market, and its weight range -- up to 550 lb. -- is what many morbidly obese people will require. The stand-on surface is 11" deep x 14 5/8" across, plenty space for most feet. My shoe size is 12 1/2 EEEEE and my feet just fit with no toe or heel overhang; larger feet will have some overhang.

The scale comes ready to use out of the box except for loading the four (4) AA batteries into the compartment underneath (compartment has a simple snap-lock cover -- no tools required). The scale itself is very lightweight and easy for just about anyone to handle. When installing the batteries, you can also decide at that time to set the Voice Feature on or off with the small slide switch which is also located underneath towards the edge near the digital readout section. The switch's position is marked with two symbols -- a speaker for "on" and a speaker with a diagonal line through it for "off".

With the batteries loaded and the switch turned to the speaker (on) position, place the scale on any flat hard surface and it's ready to use. First, tap the surface with one of your feet. The scale announces "Hello" and you have to wait a few seconds until it says "I'm Ready". Step on the scale and either read your weight or wait for the announcement of your weight which is given to the tenth of a pound. When the announcement has completed, step off the scale and in a few more seconds it says "Good bye". All very nice.

But here is the problem. Even with the wider scale foot area it is still far too small for large people on which to stand with any stability. Remember - this is a heavy duty scale made for people weighing up to 550 lb.. I have size 12.5 EEEEE feet, none too small, and they fit on the scale just fine with no overhang. BUT...I weigh about 320 lb. (was over 350 when I bought this a month ago) and cannot balance myself with my feet being as close together as is required to stand on this and probably most other consumer grade scales.

Those larger persons among us with thick heavy thighs must stand with our feet a bit farther apart than normal to maintain balance. When my feet are close together as required to stand on this scale, I find myself wavering slightly back and forth to maintain balance - and this completely confuses the scales optional voice announcement feature. You have to stand motionless for several seconds in order for the scale to determine what weight it will announce through the speaker. Even the slightest movement changes the weight by tenths of a pound (the scale/readout measures to 1/10 of a pound). What's more, if you have an ample-sized torso and cannot simply drop your head to look down and see the readout on the scale on which you are standing, you really do need the voice feature. But if you bend over slightly to see the readout, I'll bet you, like me, cannot stand perfectly motionless long enough for this scale to determine an exact weight -- so it never audibly announces the weight. A bit frustrating. And you cannot hold on to anything for balance or else you will falsely reduce your weight reading. So I just use the readout and ignore the fluctuating tenths digit.

I would suggest the manufacturer consider making the scale accurate to 1 pound, not 0.1 pound, so that the voice would work most of the time for large people. What the heck's the use of a 1/10 readout for a person weighing themselves anyway? If some folks require it, make a separate model or give us a switch to reduce accuracy to 1 pound. By my own observations I can stand motionless long enough to keep the fluctuating readout within 1 pound, but I cannot maintain balance and stay motionless to stop the fluctuations within 0.1 lb.

So the XL-550 does the job as advertised; potential buyers must consider, if they want to use the voice feature, whether or not they can stand with their feet fairly close together for 6 or 7 seconds without moving AT ALL (it's harder than you may realize).

5.0 out of 5 stars So Far So Good February 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'll update if the scale poops out, but so far so good. The scale shipped well and arrived timely in pristine condition. It came with Amazon receipt (of course), a warranty (with serial number), one-page of simple directions, and new batteries in the box -love that. It took less than a minute to unpack and put the batteries in.

It works fine and the voice is pleasant (not too loud but loud enough). I can't tell you how accurate it is, because I don't have another scale to compare my weight. I got on and off and took two weights (the difference was 1.64 lbs). When you stand on most scales, you are balancing and shifting your weight; if you position yourself differently each time, a slight fluctuation may result. Once I get in the habit of placing my feet on the scale the same way every time and standing very still, I'm sure I won't see as much fluctuation. If I took a third reading and stood more still, I might have known which of the first two was more accurate. For what I want -to know my weight (within a couple of pounds) and to monitor weight loss / gain -it is fine. At my weight, I just need to know if I am gaining or losing with a relative degree of accuracy (this scale is accurate to 1%). I really like that it is very flat and very, very wide. It was easy to step on and balance on -great for very heavy people. It's also very lightweight, so it can easily be moved. Just remember to use it on a flat surface. The scale turns off after ten seconds, so once you "wake it up" you can't wait all day to get on it. If you don't want to hear the voice announce your weight, you can turn it off; the weight remains displayed a few extra seconds so you can get off and look.

Bottom line: if you need to know your weight and can't use a scale that stops at 250, this scale is a good choice. If you want greater accuracy, spend more money... lots more. If you want to lose weight and track it weekly or bi-weekly, this scale will do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and accurate June 1, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I needed a scale that could weigh to this weight, and it's doing a great job. I find that it is very accurate when used properly. When I first started using it, I found it wasn't accurate, but it was my own fault. The scale is a bit slow, and it's important that you stand still.
