I purchased this scale for myself and for my parents. And we all love it! We have 5 people in my family (2 adults and 3 kids) and we all have our own number on the scale. I can even keep track of my 15 mth old's weight! I just sit him right on it. It has a big surface so you can make sure to fit your feet on there right. And the fact that is measures by .2 pounds I can really keep track of all of our weights accurately. I highly recommend it!

This scale is larger than many I've seen which is good for people with big feet. It has five different buttons on the bottom front so that 5 people can trake their weight seperatly. You just press your number and it turns on and quickly calibrates then when the number 0 shows up, it is ready to step on. It is consistent and appears to be very accurate up to .2 lb accuratecy. The only thing I don't know about it yet is how long the included batteries will last. If they last at least a year I will be happy.

The scale seems off by about 5 lbs showing the weight at about 5lbs less. I don't know if I simply got a lemon, (this looked like a unit that might have been returned by another customer, shipped to me from J&R) Also there seems to be no way to easily erase your memorized last shown weight if you don't want everyone else in your home seeing what it was.

OK, we all know how reliable scales can be; a pound off, 4 pounds off, they make you heavier, they make you lighter. Well after purchasing this one, I popped in some batteries and waited to be disappointed. I stood on the scale and it said I was 6 pounds heavier than the scale I was using previously. Par for the course, or so I thought. I stepped off, went to the kitchen closet and pulled out a brand new 10 pound bag of sugar we had kicking around. I hit the button, waited and stood the sugar on the scale --- 10 pounds on the button. My only disappointment was the realization that I was in fact 6 pounds heavier than I thought. A great scale; love the 5 memory buttons. There are four people in my family, so I've reserved the last button for the 10 pound bag of sugar.

Very consistent and accurate for the money. Sensitive to minor weight fluctuations when I weigh myself with and without 1 to 5 pound hand weights. I am unable to induce the scale into giving false readings. Standing to far off center (heel to toe direction) will throw it off up to 0.4 pounds. Outside of that it's a very repeatable scale. I like it.

Never had a problem with it. Once in a while my daughter will press my button and step on the scale so next time I get on it shows my previous weight at 53.0 pounds ! That's an eye opener first thing in the morning.

This scale is true to form and never off [it is the doctor's office -- with all who use it every day -- is the scale that's off]. It stores past weight, measures to the ounce and I've only had to change the batteries once in a year! Absolutely recommend!!!

I really love these scales. I like them so much that I bought them as a gift for someone else, who I know will appreciate them because they are so accurate and easy to read. They keep track of your previous weight so you can monitor your progress. These are the best scales I have ever owned.

I'm so glad I bought this scale because this is certainly good value for your money. It's very accurate with a very helpful 5 button memory function for the whole family so everyone can compare their last weight. The most important thing that I will stress is that it is most definately accurate and uses 4 AA batteries which can be rechargeable ones and not some expensive batteries. Excellent!

I returned the first scale sent to me by Amazon, and asked for a replacement. The first scale varied at each memory key, and even on the same key by 1/2 pound. The new scale is quite accurate, within .2 pound. I am very pleased with the replaced scale and with the return policy of Amazon.com.
