Precision No-Fault Results,

This review is from: Taylor #70204102 Lithium Electric Bath Scale
I love the Taylor bathroom scale product! I have used a lot of scales in my life, but this lithium scale is truly the most consistently accurate and gives the most steady results. It has a very tight variance so that you always feel assured that what you see is what you are. It lasts forever.

Lifetime Battery not true,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taylor #70204102 Lithium Electric Bath Scale
I purchased this scale from [a store] nine months ago for one reason only...the lifetime battery...I was sick of changing batteries in digital scales. The "lifetime" battery died last week. I took the scale, my original receipt and the warranty card back to [the store] today. They will not replace either battery or scale as they only warranty products for 30 days. They said to send it back to Taylor. I went to Taylor's website for help, but while they have a site, there is no customer service or even email available there. So I got out the owners booklet to find out how to contact them. The warranty booklet, while mentioning the "lifetime of operation" you should get from a lithium battery, makes no mention of any warranty coverage for batteries that do not last a "lifetime." I got the distinct impression that they know full well that the battery may not last a "lifetime" as 3/4 of one page in the owner's booklet is about the low battery signal, what battery to buy to replace it and how to install the new battery. Why would this be needed if the battery really did last a "lifetime?" This scale was more expensive than other digital scales and I willingly paid that for a "lifetime" battery. But knowing now that the lithium battery is not going to last any longer than a regular battery, I do not feel the added cost is worth it. Oh, and by the way, I was the only person using this scale and I weighed myself twice a week...it's not like it got worn out by a huge number of people every day.

TAYLOR SCALE (IN)CONSISTENT or NOT,
By Frank (AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Taylor #70204102 Lithium Electric Bath Scale
Several reviews in this forum talk about consitency and accuracy. The Taylor bathroom scales give the same reading if you weigh youself repeatedly (as long as no one of a different weight uses the scale between your weighings). Seems consistent huh... yep thats why I bought the scale after auditioning several different brands in the store. I was so impressed by Taylors 0.2 lb resolution and the fact that it SEEMED to consistently give the same reading every time I stepped back on the scale.Now try holding a 5 lb weight every other time you weigh yourself ( to confuse the scale). The reading without the weight is different almost every single time. This is because Taylors scales are not very consistent at all and they cheat to cover it up by having software in the scale that simply displays the previous reading if your weight has not changed by more than approx 1.2 lbs. Why have 0.2 lb prescision if you can't count on CONSISTENT INDEPENDANT readings from one weighing to the next. I will tell you why: The 0.2 lb resolution combined with the consitent reading is why many people will buy these... only to later discover that the scale is useless for monitoring small trends in your weight gain/loss (see workaround below). The person that made the decision to put this misleading cheat in the scale software has done a great dis-serivce to the consumer and to the Taylor brand and does not deserve to be writing software for an instrument that should independantly report weight from one weighing to the next. Readings that often can significantly affect the emotional state of the person reading the scale.. or cause the person to alter their intake of food. Most peole will not ever discover this and some more observant folk will be scratching their head as to why the reading that should change for every 0.2 lb change in weight did not change after drinking an 8 oz glass of water that weighs half a pound. WORKAROUND: If you do not wish to return the scale, just keep a 5 lb weight ( I use a vase) near the scale and weigh yourself with the weight in hand (to throw off the scale software) and then re-weigh yourself without the weight to get your accurate weight. If you stand very still, then you can get more consistent readings. I won't ever buy another Talyor product, consumer or commercial over this breach of trust. I am curious as to how may people have seen the same phenomena in their Taylor scale. I also appologise to the consumer world for taking 6 months to get around to posting this. frankatsimrex.com substitute @ for at
