5.0 out of 5 stars No problem with mine, December 11, 2008

This review is from: Salter 9109 Stainless Steel Body Fat and Body Water Scale (Health and Beauty)

This scale, like all other digital scales I've used, varies about a pound or two between readings, but that's not really a big deal. I learned in chemistry that it's a good idea to take three readings and use the average. Typically I get two identical readings out of three and I'm happy to take the identical readings as my weight.

I really like the fat and water readings built in, as well as the multiple memory locations (up to 10) so that up to 10 can see if they are gaining or losing. A small signal is sent through the body (if you have a pacemaker, don't use this) to determine body fat; body electrical resistance is measured to determine hydration.

Salter is well-known for accurate scales and this one is no exception; plus it's sleek looking and so thin that my bathroom door will open over it so it's not in the way of the door, no matter where I put it.

Max capacity is 350 lbs. I had no problem reading the clear display of weight, fat, and water. Set up (programming) for three people was easy and quick. I like it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great Design - weight reading unreliable/inconsistent, February 3, 2008

By 

Neredha Barratt (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Salter 9109 Stainless Steel Body Fat and Body Water Scale (Health and Beauty)

I purchased this because of the great simple design and while I read the negative reviews - I thought I would give it a try - the negative reviews were right. I telephoned Salters to discuss the unreliable/inconsistent weight readings and they told me to wait 5 minutes between stepping on the scale each time - tried that and the problem still persisted - a different reading each time within the same time period.

1.0 out of 5 stars Attractive, but not functional, September 18, 2007

This review is from: Salter 9109 Stainless Steel Body Fat and Body Water Scale (Health and Beauty)

Although this scale is very attractive, it is very easily scratched. But the biggest problem is that it does not consistently work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I couldn't trust the readings and so returned it.
