Product Description
Everyone is trying to keep on top of their weight. The problem is many scales currently on the market have a standard weight capacity that limits people with a larger frame. Other people have poor eyesight or other physical challenges that do not make it easy for them to see a digital readout on a bath scale platform. Just when you thought all hope was lost, Taylor introduces the Projection Scale! This state of the art bath scale features a projector lens that projects your weight onto your wall in an easy to read red LED display. The lens can be adjusted to your preferred viewing height and has a focus wheel to make the image sharper. No more straining your neck, back or eyes trying to read the display! Another great feature of the scale is the weight capacity. The projection scale accurately weighs up to 550 lb! Normally a scale with this high of a capacity would need to be ordered through a medical supply company at an outrageous cost! Besides the projector lens, the projection scale comes with an extra large 2 inch LCD display with 1.8 inch digits so you have an option when it comes to viewing your weight. The platform is a comfortable 13 inch x 12.5 inch size with plenty of room for your feet and non-slip treads to keep your heels securely in place. This scale runs on 3 AA batteries (included) and has a 5 year warranty. Weight can be displayed in either LB or KG with 0.2 lb / 0.1 kg increments. The Projection Scale by Taylor gives you an easy way to stay on top of your weight and make your life a little less stressful.

I am the Engineer in charge of this product at Taylor, and I wanted to address the initial two negative reviews my product had.
Battery cover - On the initial production, the tab doesn't appear to "click" in place. When it doesn't engage the door can be opened with just a little pulling. I could see that with some jostling it can fall off, so this complaint is probably viable. However the door does "work" ... you just need to make sure it "clicks" when you close it by pressing the door latch until it "clicks". I would not call this door "loose" by any means. Our Factory has addressed this with an adjustment so our ongoing production will not be subject to this minor battery door matter.
Creaking on platform - When stepping on the scale - there appears to be no creaking. When on the scale, I shifted my weight side to side on the platform & there is a slight audible "creaking". Unfortunately this is the nature of the design of the scale - the platform and base plastic covers both rest on the plastic side pieces, so when you apply your load to the top of the scale the plastic flexes and produces a slight sound when it pushes against the side pieces. There is no functional problem though because there is a 1-mm thick steel plate inside this scale to help achieve 550 lb capacity. This product has run through multiple tests and achieves 550 lb accuaratley. This guy isn't breaking!
Comment on weight accuracy - As for the customer claiming his weight being "9.5 lb off" after "several people showed the correct weight", I cannot duplicate this in the lab, but did a follow up test in our US lab that proved the scale to be accurate throughout the range. Our instructions detail how to initialize the scale, so if the customer is having problems with the readings reaching zero they should re-initialize per the instructions.
If I see any further consumer issues or concerns - I will update this review accordingly.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered the scale as I had hit 402 on my doctors scale and needed one that would hold me. This one arrived in half the time stated, and was excellent right out of the box. We have moved it three times, always following the instructions to reset it to the new location before using it. It is reliable, and works extremely well. By the by, I am down to 360 since purchasing it 40 days ago - but I don't think the scale is the reason - but I know it is a huge part of my daily regime, knowing that it will accurately reflect my body weight. I highly recommend this scale.

I had some concerns about this scale from the other reviews especially the creaking sounds. After I ordered it I did hear something when I stepped on the scale but nothing like the other reviewers describe. I called Customer Service at Taylor and they had me speak with the product manager for this scale. The inside of the scale has a steel plate to handle the extra weight. This scale isnt going anywhere! If the battery door comes off its because it wasnt clicked in properly. Once you hear it click you know it is locked in. The only time the display can be blurry is if you angle it up too high on the wall.
This scale has been nothing but awesome since I got it! I am a larger guy that never really knew my true weight since I could never find a scale that had a large enough capacity. The platform size was never large enough and the weight display was too tiny to read.
This scale addresses ALL the problems I'ver had with other scales in the past. It handles my weight, the platform is roomy and with the display showing on the wall it is easy to read.
I am now on a strict diet with my doctor and when I weigh myself at his office the reading I get at home matches the weight exactly.
My friends and family have used the scale and they all love it too!
