Product Description

Tanita introduces the second generation for "going green" with the HS-302 Solar Digital Scale. This environmentally-conscious scale has built-in solar cells that draw power from sunlight or ordinary household light, eliminating the need to buy or recharge batteries, saving our landfills from additional battery contamination. The HS-302 is also now made with ABS plastic using biodegradable resins, making it the perfect choice for health-minded consumers looking for products to complement their green home and lifestyle. As Tanita continues to set the evolutionary pace in the scale industry, the HS-302 is their second generation solar scale. The HS-302 Solar Scale provides users with accurate weight analysis on its large digital display and new, wider platform. The scale features clean, simple lines and its white design blends with a variety of bathroom décors. The HS-302 draws its power via the integrated solar cells, which are able to quickly gather energy - whether it's being used in a sunny room or one lit by regular household lights. The HS-302 Solar Digital Scale offers an accurate measurement of weight, providing the same unconditional guarantee in quality, performance, innovation and reliability expected from Tanita. The addition of ABS plastic using biodegradable resins as the primary construction material is an added bonus for our green consumers, further protecting our environment and landfills.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tanita HS302 Solar Digital Scale May 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this scale after reading many online reviews. I wanted just one thing - ACCURACY! I got it and am happy. The only drawback is that my bathroom is not always bright, especially in the wintertime. Thus I have to take the scale to a brighter area on dark and dreary days for it to send out a display. All in all though, accuracy was most important to me, and it is right on with my doctor's high end scale every time! I would recommend it and would buy it again!

3.0 out of 5 stars Tanita HS302 Scale August 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I wanted an accurate scale no bells and whistles just the correct weight. I got it with this scale, it works great when it has enough light. That is the problem I have with it. I am not weighing myself outside naked in the sunlight, nor do I have a skylight in my bathroom. Maybe if you have a lot of light in your room and I mean a lot it will be great for you. I just have to pick it up hold it underneath a lamp wait for the zero's to appear, get it on the ground and back to zero's and stand on it hoping it didn't loose its energy from the 3 foot bedside table to the floor. I wish I had the same scale but with either battery power or plug in power.

The Tanita Solar scale is extremely accurate. I really like it. The only drawback is that we have a dark bathroom. If I want to weigh I have to leave the overhead light on for awhile to activate it. Other than that it's perfect. Fits very well with any decor. J. White

1.0 out of 5 stars Should have listened to other reviewers: doesn't work! January 12, 2011
By DSS

This scale was rated tops in Consumer Reports and Consumer Search so I decided that the other reviewers were exaggerating or that their bathrooms were so dark that the scale couldn't work there. Wrong! My bathroom is very bright and sunny and the scale works only in the morning for about 2 hours! Ridiculous. How can they even sell this thing!?! Save yourself the (considerable) expense of shipping to and from your house. Do not buy this bathroom scale.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this scale! July 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I usually research before buying anything. My research on this scale was impressive. Highly rated, accurate, made of degradable material.
The scale came within one week. The instructions said that it must charge itself under any light source for a short period of time before use. I put it into my bathroom with the light on and waited about an hour. Then I tried it. Not enough charging. I put a high intensity reading lamp directly on it. It still didn't work. I took it outside into the direct sunlight...still, no use!
I returned it.
Bad product, over stated promises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Consistent results and reliable solar power May 9, 2011
By McW
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been eyeing this scale for months, waiting for a coupon or gift card or something to help me buy it, as it's rather expensive for a basic digital bathroom scale. The extra cost is worth it to me for the solar power and the biodegradable plastic, but I was hoping for a little help to make the purchase, and I've therefore been anticipating having this scale for some time now.

I am not disappointed. My scale arrived several days ago in perfect condition. Having read other reviews that indicated the solar power panel wasn't able to collect enough light unless put in direct sunlight, I was a little concerned, but here's my experience:

I tested it under the overhead light in my dining area, just because that's where I had opened the box and unwrapped it. The scale powered up in a matter of seconds. However, I kept trying to step on it and the scale powered down before it could come up with a reading. I figured out almost immediately that my shadow was blocking the overhead light source. I don't know if allowing it to charge for longer before using it would have helped offset the light blocked from my shadow, but I think that probably would have helped. I kept jumping on the scale really quickly because I was excited to play with it. I then moved my scale to the bathroom, where I have a couple lights on the wall over the sink. It's reasonably bright in there, but nothing extraordinary. Again, the scale turned on and was ready within seconds, and because my shadow wasn't blocking the light (since it didn't come from directly overhead), I was able to step off and on the scale repeatedly with no power problems. The scale will even turn itself on eventually in the dim light of the area right in front of the sink cabinet (where the cabinet casts a shadow).

3.0 out of 5 stars Great scale, shame about the power source August 29, 2010
I researched carefully before I bought this scale in the bright days of mid summer. The solar powered feature was very appealing. Environmentally friendly! No more batteries! I didn't realize until I read the instructions that the scale will only operate properly under very specific lighting conditions; conditions so specific that they include a diagram. Which, interestingly enough, shows a) a bright electric lamp (Yay! No more batteries! b) with a minimum wattage c) positioned no further than x distance from the scale. That's if you want to power it up. Anything less than that and the scale doesn't function properly, if it functions at all. Even in summer, on most mornings I have had to switch on the overhead light for a while before I can step on the scale and get a reading. I am not optimistic about weighing in during the long, dark mornings of the coming winter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a shining star July 31, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this scale based on the high marks it received in Consumer Reports and some other reviews on Amazon.com.I liked the idea that it would never need a battery as it was solar powered. Unfortunately, it never worked at any location in my house. I put it in sunny windows for days at a time but it never powered up sufficiently to give a weight reading. The display window always read "LO". The only time it would give a weight reading was when the scale was placed outside in my yard. Since I could not envision having to go outside naked,in the winter, or anytime for that matter, to do a weight check, I decided that this was not the scale for me.I returned it and ordered at Taylor scale that uses a lithium battery. It has not arrived yet so I do not know if it will be a satisfactory choice.
