This is among the relatively cheap analog scales you can ever find online. Very handsome and neat. The color is white and the size is pretty compact.
Overall, the scale gives you similar results after you zero it right before your first use. Yet the spring inside is a little bit loose - it takes pretty long time for it to return to zero after you've stepped out of the surface, increasing the risk of the change of the initial reading from 0 to a few pounds more or less than it. In average, you have to rezero the scale every 7 or 8 readings...
Luckily, the adjusting device is handy and easy to control: the control is at the right hand side of the scale. Once you rezero it, the scale will give you more or less the same reading you got. Nice and useful scale for only $8!

The scale is off by 18 pounds. I compared it twice to my weight when I went to my doctor. It's fine if you are willing to do a little math every time you weigh yourself.

This review is from: Tanita HA 521-W Analog Bathroom Scale, White (Health and Beauty)

I've only had this scale for a short time, but so far so good. I've found that in order to get a scale that is perfect or near perfect you have to spend a boat load of money. As someone before has mentioned the one drawback to this scale is that you have to set it back to zero every so often. I specifically wanted to get an analog scale for this reason, with an inexpensive digital scale, which is what I had last, you can't reset it like you can an analog. This scale is a great buy, for only $10 how can you go wrong!?
