Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Powered by solar cells that charge either in natural light or in normal room light, this electronic scale doesn't need batteries. It displays weight in pounds or kilograms, is accurate to 0.5 pounds or 0.2 kilograms, and has a maximum capacity of 300 pounds or 136 kilograms. The easy-to-read numbers on its LCD screen are 1-inch high. The scale measures 12-1/2 inches square, is encased in hard plastic with a dimpled mat to prevent slipping, and has a built-in handle for transporting from room to room. A light toe-tap to the reset switch in the lower right-hand corner clears the LCD screen, although the scale automatically reverts to zero when weight is removed. The scale carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Required too much light and wasn't accurate, January 31, 2002

This review is from: Taylor 8100 Solar-Powered Digital Bath Scale (Health and Beauty)

The Taylor 8100 Solar-Powered Digital Bath Scale would only operate when under a 200 watt bulb! My bathroom is lit with 3 60 watt bulbs and they weren't bright enough to get the scale to operate. Also, three members of my family each weighed 40 pounds more on this scale than on our current scale! Our current scale is only 5 pounds different than the doctor's scale. I would not recommend this scale to anyone trying to lose weight!

1.0 out of 5 stars This Scale Is Not Accurate, August 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Taylor 8100 Solar-Powered Digital Bath Scale (Health and Beauty)

I bought this scale and it registered about 30 lbs less then the doctors scale. I took it back to the store and they replaced it with the same model. I again tried the scale and it was still 8 to 10 lbs less then my normal body weight. My wife and kids tried the scale and their weight was also 8 to 10 lbs less then their normal weight. My advice is to to by another brand!

I'm so afraid of heights that even standing on a deep-pile carpet gives me acrophobia, but this low-profile scale was just the thing to make my weight-measuring experience less traumatic.

I also found an additional advantage is that the scale underreads by at least 10%, which helps me to feel much better about the effects of my occasional chocolate and ice cream binges.
