This is a great scale and very accurate. I have no problem with this. I also had a difficulty to turn it on first, but after I read the manual, it was easy. It is very accurate and 9/10 gave the same weight with .1 pound (one was off by .2 pound) You need to tap it for making it vibrating. Don't just tap since it won't turn on, but if you tap it just like you softly hit it so the top glass vibrate, then it will be on.

Accurate, Accurate, and still accurate - that's it. I never got a scale accurate like this. And it's stylish, beautiful, and convenient. It worked for me immediately after I opened its box :)

Got the scale, inserted the batteries, tap and you are on. Takes a total of 5 minutes to do it all.
Reason for 3 stars: Tapping is annoying feature; Why can't the scale turn on (reset to 0) and give me the reading when I stand on it? Instead, you have to tap it...and tap it correctly... you must apply little force and tap it in the right areas...annoying feature.
Also once tapped, it takes about 3-5 seconds to reset to 0 and then you stand... gives you probably 3 seconds and if you don't stand it will turn off and then you tap again... Hmmmm !!
I agree with other reviewers about its accuracy.

The scale indeed looks very nice and sleek with its glass design. The quality seems to be quite nice, and it's designed in England. There's a 10 year warranty in case anything goes wrong. The scale is very accurate, but I agree with others about the tapping issue. I have to more like "hit" it with my foot to get it started. Make sure you wait until the 18888 turns to 0 before stepping on. The 18888 means it's calibrating the scale to 0. You have to keep very still for the weight to stabilize. Or else it will just keep going up and down, although you'll be able to get your weight within the half pound before the number stabilizes.

LCD fell off when arrived because the two-side sticker wasn't stong enough. Anyhow,I could push it back. Then, the scale couldn't be turned on by tapping on the top. This is the only way you can make this scale work as discribed on manual. I have to remove and insert battery to turn it on everytime! I think some force sensor attached to the frame is broken. This is the problem I can't fix. The only thing I can do is sending it back.
Following up: According to others reviews, I tried to make this scale "vibrating" using different ways of tapping. It didn't work no matter how hard I tried. I had to use my toe to lift up one side a little (about half an inch) and drop it on hard floor to make enough "vibration" to turn it on. I wonder how long this scale can function well by such a way to switch on. My Soehnle scale always turns on by a soft tapping. I have to admit the reading of this scale is very clear and accurate. Just feel a little nervous standing on two pieces of glass. And also, be careful to use it in bathroom: moisture will make the glass surface slippery.

definitely an eye catcher in the bathroom. Besides it needing a hard stomp to turn on when supposedly it needs a tap, it works great.

This two tiered beauty is so pretty I had guests ask me if it were really a scale. They had to try it but said it weighed heavy. Ha ha, I know it weighs right on the mark. My friends must think they are lighter than they really are, but I didn't tell them. I had bought other scales with all the extras but could never get them to work properly. This one does what a "scale" should do, it weights you accurately. If you want a scale that gives your accurate weight and looks beautiful sitting out, this is the scale for you. If you want one that will tell you your body fat and keep a record of your and your spouses weight, you are looking for a different scale and will find those things rarely work well anyway. I have both kinds of scales in my home but use only this one. I absolutely love it. It does take a stomp with one foot or a bang of the heel to turn it on but that is no big deal.

In my opinion, this is the best Glass bathroom scale for anywhere near the price. It looks good, takes up little space, and it works well. The recorded weight is within onces of my Doctors balence beam scales. A great deal. I am happy.

1st -- this scale looks awesome! Like nothing else out there. I never thought I would want to show off, or stand on a scale just because it looks cool. You stand on a round class plate that appears to float...but it's very secure.

So, other than good looks, it seems accurate. Step off, pick up a bottle of shampoo, and the scale changes a bit. Took the cat to the vet and have a good weight. Pick up the cat, and the scale difference is off by 0.2 of what math says should be correct.

Can't complain about that, considering you shouldn't worry about your weight that much. (One thing I actually like about the 0.5 scales is the lack of watching all the little fluctuations.)

Anyway -- coolest and most accurate (by my inaccurate testing methods) I've owned. Would recommend...display is secure on mine.

I bought this scale after returning a Taylor, which was very inaccurate. It's better than a Thinner too. I used these reviews and found them helpful. This scale by Salter is very accurate, there is no differentiation when stepping off and then back on. The negative reviews seem to indicate that there have been some lemons in the bunch and one damaged. This probably came from the fact that Amazon did a lousy packing job. They placed the scale in a box that would just accept it, added no stuffing for protection, and sent it on its merry way. Luckily the UPS guys handled it with care and did not drop it. I would have rated this item 5 stars because of its accuracy; however, it takes a good stomp to activate it- that's my only complaint- and it's a minor one.
