Product Description

Part of any responsible weight loss or fitness program should involve picking out an accurate scale to monitor results. This model from Taylor guarantees precise weight readings and runs on a lithium battery, which is not likely to die or weaken during the lifetime of the scale. The scale has a white plastic top with a patterned footbed to prevent slippage and measures 12-1/2 inches across, offering a spacious platform to stand on. The scale turns on with a quick step onto the platform and the unique voice feature greets you with a "Hello." In a few seconds, the large 1-inch LCD display shows your weight and, in case you don’t have your contacts in, the scale also announces your weight. The scale holds up to 330 pounds and a sliding switch on the bottom sets weight readings to display in pounds, kilograms, or stone-pounds. A second switch underneath the scale programs the voice feature to speak in English, French, or German and a volume switch turns announcements to low or high. The scale is covered by Taylor under a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

This review is from: Taylor 7080 Lithium Powered Talking Bath Scale (Health and Beauty)

I'm pretty happy with this digital scale. It's ready to use out of box, without any calibration needed. The scale comes with two small lithium batteries (same kind used in watches) to power the scale itself. You can pop in a 9V battery (not included) for the talking part. Just step on the scale and your weight will appear on the LCD quickly. The LCD is easy to read when there's light. Because it's not backlit, so you won't be able to see your weight when lighting is inadequate.

The scale is fairly accurate. As with all digital scales, it never gives you exactly the same reading if you step off and step on again. But the variation is acceptable. The scale has a long warranty so in case you think it's not working, just send it in for warranty repairs. (But to be honest, I think it'll be cheaper to just buy a new one than paying for the postage.)

The talking part is not very exciting. The English voice, in faux female, is quite annoying. I think it's pretty easy to understand, but the voice is too robotic. Actually it also sounds like a dog barking.

In short, this cheap digital scale is pretty good.

I purchased this for my 87 year old grandma who cannot read the numbers on any scale. This unit tells her weight. Monitoring her weight is vital due to her health. This unit allows her to weigh herself and not have to get a neighbor to come over and read a scale. Great purchase!!!
