Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This heavy-duty dial scale uses Taylor's exclusive ProHelix rack-and-pinion system for accuracy. It's so sensitive, the needle vibrates slightly with the pulse in your foot. Any change in your weight is sure to register, for better or worse. If you monitor your pounds over time for any reason, there are color-coded tabs to track your weight. The numbers on the dial are easy to read, and go up to 330 pounds. This scale does not show kilograms. At 12 by 18 inches, this is not a discreet scale you can slip under a bathmat, but its sleek, slightly retro design and white finish look good in any bathroom. Because of its durable construction, this is also a good scale for high-use areas, such as medical offices or gyms. If you like to weigh yourself when you get out of the shower, the platform is covered with a slip-resistant mat. --Laura Cuthbert

Product Description

This is not the typical large dial scale. The Pro Helix by Taylor features an oversized dial, the extra foot space and is the most accurate. Bring the quality of a doctor's office scale into the home. Utilizing a patented, true medical grade rack and pinion mechanism, this scale will provide accurate results, day after day. The 7 5/8 diameter dial is large enough to read from a distance ¿ no bending over the scale to see the weight reading. Includes five color-coded WeightTrackers® to monitor weight progress. The platform is large enough to accommodate even large feet. Taylor wanted to make a scale that was precise, and the patented mechanism is so sensitive to even the least movement ¿ including your heart beat! Because of the sensitive nature of this scale, you must stand still to get a solid measurement, but it is fast so the wait time is minimal. Weighs up to 330 lbs in 1 lb increments. White solid steel base, black mat, bright red pointer and bright chrome bezel. 5 year warranty. MADE IN THE USA

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Enough to hold a random number generator, June 10, 2002

This review is from: Taylor 840 ProHelix Professional Large Dial Platform Scale (Health and Beauty)
I bought the scale because of it's retro look and the advertized precision mechanism. I use it, but I don't like it. It is bigger than my bathroom (so it resides under my bed), and the weight varies by about 6 lbs. I usually stand on it about 4 times and take an average in my head... okay, I take the low number. So what! Afterall, it's not that low.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just not a quality scale, January 7, 2003
By 
P. Thornton "rainy25" (Lynwood, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Taylor 840 ProHelix Professional Large Dial Platform Scale (Health and Beauty)
I bought this scale because the weight max. went up to 330 but, the scale has not been accurate at any weight and not even close when weighing over 300. For people under 300 it weighed about 5 pounds over, but for people over 300 it was a shot in the dark. Sometimes weighing over by 10 pounds. It's bulky and not accurate, and definitaly not worth the 50 bucks they ask for it!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Registers different weight every time, July 25, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Taylor 840 ProHelix Professional Large Dial Platform Scale (Health and Beauty)
Each time we use this scale we weigh something different. When stepping off it doesn't return to 0. Even if you 0 the scale before each use, it shows you a different weight.
