The scale turns on with a quick step onto the glass platform. A large 1-inch LCD display makes it easy to see readings without bending down.

My Taylor 7506 scale is extremely accurate. I have done a side by side comparison with three balance beam scales in the local hospital and the Taylor agreed with the balance beam scales to within less than 0.2 lbs (i.e. the difference was not measurable). I repeated this comparison on two separate occasions with the same results.
However, there are 4 important things to know about the Taylor scale if you want accurate weight measurements.
1) The scale is supported by four feet; the weight sensors are located under the two feet on either side of the readout and the other two feet are fixed to the bottom of the scale just for support. If you drag the scale across the floor (e.g. pull it out from under a cabinet) it is better to lift it by the end where the readout is located and drag it on the two fixed feet; this will reduce the risk of damaging the pressure sensitive feet.
2) after moving the scale, the first reading may be off by as much as 0.6 lbs
3) the scale remembers one reading and it will not change this reading unless you change the weight by more than 1 lb. This means that, if you move the scale you are likely to get an incorrect reading the first time you step on the scale; if you then weigh yourself repeatedly, this same incorrect value will appear every time you step on the scale. This memory makes it appear that the reading is repeatable (a desirable characteristic) but repeating an incorrect value is misleading.
4) to get an accurate weight measurement after moving the scale, first pick up an object (e.g. a book) that weighs about 2 lbs and step on the scale holding this object; then put the object down and step on the scale again to get an accurate reading of your weight.... Read more ›

UPDATE: Over seven years and it is still working on the same battery!
I got this scale just for the "upscale" look. It's sleek metal with glass. They state that the lithium battery lasts a long time, so we'll see. It does take four rotations of the `zeros' to fly by before your weight is shown (to the half pound). It looks great and it's cheap. It's thick glass, so if your weight shows more than you expected, you can toss this sucker across the room and it won't break!

I've had this scale for over 4 years. It has moved with me three times. It looks great, and the glass design makes your bathroom look bigger because you can see through to the floor. It is a fabulous scale and very consistent. I don't notice any of the problems listed in the negative reviews and plan to buy one for my parents. I have noticed that it takes 1-2 extra tries when it's cold (below 50 degrees). My battery still works great after 4 years, and I use the scale 3-4 times a day. I love this scale!!

This scale is great. My old scale was absolute garbage, when we moved into our new house I knew I needed a new scale that fit the space and wasn't a huge eyesore. So when I was shopping I was looking at scales based on their price, look, review quality, and of course accuracy.
The upscale, sleek look is great in my bathroom. I really like the glass finish, being able to see through the scale to see the tile floor below is an awesome touch. The price is also great, much more reasonable then the prices you would see at local stores and that's for a lesser product. When looking through the reviews I found that this product had tons of great reviews so I was comfortable making the purchase. I didn't want a bathroom decoration, I wanted a scale, so accuracy was obviously something to consider.
I am trying to lose about 20 pounds to get my life back in shape and wanted a way to gauge my progress, so accuracy was very important to me. Every half pound helps, I find it very comforting to see any kind of weight loss so I really like this scale. So far I have lost a little over 20 pounds from a combination of working out, jogging, walking, eating healthier and taking Raspberry Ketones weight loss supplement. A few tips if you are on a journey similar to mine, maximize the time you have to workout. If you only have 4 hours a week make sure and spend those 4 hours doing something every high intensity. I like taking classes like zumba, or spin class. You could run, lift weights etc. If you are lifting weights do exercises that work lots of muscles, don't worry about curls, do exercises like squats, presses etc.... Read more ›

I also took the advice of Consumer Reports, which usually leads me down the right path.
This scale can vary your weight by 5 or more pounds. I KNOW I'm not 134, but then sometimes it tells me I'm 139 (which is more accurate). At first I thought because it rocks back and forth that it was the uneven flooring I put it on. I tried it on 5 different surfaces and it gives me different results every time.
I wish I didn't wait so long, otherwise I would return it. :o(

Digital Scale the way to go.
This scale replaced a manual wheel scale. i like the readings in 10ths helps me track the minor fluctuations. Gives the same readings on carpet and hard wood flooring.

My wife wanted an accurate consistent scale. Our old scale had you tap the scale to make it calibrate and then only weighed closest 0.5 lbs and sometimes varied 1 - 1. Read more

Tres cool!
Super. Just what I needed. No frills, just fast response, apparently accurate and precise weights.
Probably will buy another for downstairs quite soon.
