i purchused this for my daughter with vision then my vision impaired daughter used it while she was at home she loved it, so now i'm buying her one for her new apt

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!!!

Very nice scale, worked wonderfully for a family member of mine with poor eyesight

My 85 year old parents bought this scale. It is absolutely terrible. The voice is so garbled that neither they nor I could easily understand it. A solid 2 on a scale of one to ten, where below six is flunking.

This scale is cheap and it's almost impossible to understand the voice. I expected a clear, concise mechanical voice, but this sounds like someone talking in a tin can under water.

This talking scale came quite promptly and is well-priced but the voice is shrill and very difficult to understand.

I ordered this scale for a blind senior citizen. The English speaking voice has a British accent and is difficult to understand. The scale wobbles when you stand on it making you feel unstable, especially for someone with impaired eyesight.

Well made, sleek design and good price. Still, it's a little hard to understand the digitized voice - especially for elderly users that suffer from hearing loss.
