Tanita scales as a group are much more accurate and reliable than the competitors brands, however they make few basic digitals scales. I chose this one because I wanted a no frills scale made by Tanita, not because it is solar. However the solar power source works fine, taking maybe 15 seconds after the light is turned on in the room to power up. The scale is sturdy, not flimsy plastic. The weight reading on this scale matches the one at the doctor's office and at the gym. If I step on and off repeatedly, I never get a variation of more than 0.5 lb. I specifically chose this scale because it does not have a memory of your weight (I prefer to keep that info to myself). Of course, if you want the memory feature you should choose a different model.

Great scale! I keep it in the bathroom cabinet when not in use, and it works within a minute of exposure to light. It seems to be very accurate, and it is one of the few digital scales I saw that doesn't record your weight for the entire household to see, a definite plus in my opinion!

Very accurate and easy to use. Because my bathroom has no windows, I thought that I'd have to use this scale in one of my other rooms, but just the light over my sink powers it up in about 10 seconds. I've weighed myself right before going to the doctor and being weighed on his balance scale, and the two readings were exactly the same. As a test, I've tried weighing myself several times repeatedly, and the reading was the same every time, which has never been the case with other scales I've owned. This scale is heavy and solidly made, and I expect it to last a long time. Also, it's nice to know that I'll never have to buy a battery for it.

Unlike the (many) scales I have purchased from Target and bad & bath stores over the years, this Tanita scale is extremely accurate and consistent. If I weigh myself, then step on again holding 16 ounces of water, it registers the extra pound. The solar register works fine in our bathroom without direct light. A simple, high-quality scale.

I've only had the scale for about one month, but so far it has worked great. I like the solar powered feature. It is placed in a dark bathroom but only takes a few seconds to powerup when the lights are turned on.

Read previous reviews before the purchase. Product works as well as everyone says. The only thing is from turning the light on in a dark room, the scale is not ready as fast as some suggests. But it's really not a big deal.

The scale is solar powered, which works very well. I like the large base. My dissatisfaction comes in the basic function of a bathroom scale. I can step on the scale five times and get four different results. In truth, I keep weighing myself until I get two readings that are the same. I am on bathroom ceramic tile, and I reset the scale if I move it. The range of inconsistency is from a couple of pounds to five pounds.

This solar-powered scale is extremely awesome. I do have to do 3-4 readings each time, but usually 3 of those readings are the exact same or only diverge by half a pound, and I just throw out the "wild card" reading. It only takes about 30-45 seconds to get those 4 readings, and it is very easy to re-set the scale with the tip of your big toe. Plus, the solar battery charges up in about 3 seconds of light, natural or electric, so it's extremely convenient. It has a sleek look and is light weight; it is also very affordable.

This scale is accurate and turns on very shortly after you turn on the lights in the bathroom.

I love this scale! It doesn't do anything but tell me how much I weigh, no fancy extras, but the price is right. It weighs me exactly the same as the professional balance scale at my fitness center. I like that there are no batteries, and it only takes seconds for light to register for an accurate reading. A good buy!
