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!

UPDATE: Almost five years and it is still working on the same battery!

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!!

I love the design of this scale, it seems to fit perfectly in my bathroom.

It's readout has been consistently accurate (no fluctuations of any kind).

I would recomend this unit to just about anyone.

It's been my favorite so far.

A scale needs to do just one thing, right?
This often gives wildly exaggerated results at first, then you have to step off and let it re-set like a computer. Results can vary within a very few minutes.
Display gave out after 2 years.

I've been using this scale for about two weeks, and so far it seems accurate and highly consistent in its readings. It has none of the wild swings in measurements of my previous scale and it tracks closely to values I get on a larger gym scale. It is easy to use, attractive, and produces readings quickly. For the metric-minded, it also has a switch that changes the display to kilograms. The scale is powered by a widely available lithium battery, and changing it should be fairly easy. My model has a slightly askew retention clip, so it takes a little fussing to seat the battery properly, but once it is inserted, the scale works well. The written instructions are okay, though not totally clear. However, the scale is easy to use, so they are not mission-critical. Note that this scale does not require calibration (taring) before every use, unlike many other scales on the market, which is especially convenient.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product. Based on some previous reviews, there may be problems with quality control in the production of this scale. I haven't encountered any thus far, and the low price makes this an especially attractive product.

This scale is a joke. Thank you so much Consumer Reports for giving it a rave review. Don't believe it.

The way the scale works is pretty dubious in the first place. It sits on four rubber nubbies. The rear two do nothing (except they were different heights on mine and "rocked" miserably). The front two nubbies each have sensors in them. It's a bit like standing on a water bed and waiting for it to stop sloshing around. Apparently the two sensors never agree on what you weigh.

So you weigh either 185 or 246 or 213 or 197 or.....you get the idea.

I'm lovin' this scale. I've used one before while staying at someone else's home, and decided THIS is the scale for me! I have a hard time reading all the little tiny increments on the scale I have. This one seems to be consistent...and it'll never need a battery. Nice looking too!

After reading the reviews posted for this scale, I thought I should chime in and confirm what appears to be a defect:

I just purchased this scale to upgrade from my current analog scale, also made by Taylor. I was immediately disappointed to find out that the readings I got from it were approximately 3 pounds heavier than the readings on my older scale. In addition, the readings I received fluctuated by as much as 2 pounds within minutes of each reading.

I asked my wife to do a side-by-side comparison with the professional balance scale at the ER where she works as a nurse. She confirmed that this model also registered about 3 pounds heavier. I will be taking this one back for a refund.

I gave it 2 stars because it really does look nice, unfortunately the performance just doesn't measure up.

Length:: 2:15 Mins

Sleek and sexy scale that produces consistently accurate results for a great price.

I haven't had this scale long, but so far I really like it. I think the weight is fairly accurate. I put 2 weights on it that were 15 pounds each and the reading was 30.4. Not perfect, but close. I'm not even sure they are EXACTLY 15 pounds each. The best news for me is that my previous scale was measuring 4 pounds heavy so I feel like my diet is particularly effective this week! In addition to it's accuracy, I think it looks great too and I'm not having any problems with it being slow.
