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.

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!!

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.

...Myself being 6'2" and #240,I like the feel of the size and solid feeling underneath me,not the I'm afraid to stand on it because it might break and where is the dial,my heels hang off the back end and my toes the front end syndrome.It is the first scale both my wife and I can use,her being #135.We both found it to be extremely accurate every time.The color coded pointers which I always felt were bogus are very helpful and an added plus.I would highly recommend this scale.

I bought this scale as it stated a 330 lb weight limit. I weigh about 305, and after less than 2 weeks of normal usage my scale broke. Amazon was fabulous about a refund, but I'd steer away from this if you are in the upper weight ranges.

This scale was broken when I took it out of the box. I stepped on it, the pointer went to 180, and stayed there. Now I have send it back, and buy something different. I wasted alot of time and effort.

I bought this scale because I saw it in the Bridget Jones movie, only hers had numbers equal to stones [each stone is 14 american pounds]. I loved it in the movie. I have one and I love it because it is the only scale I can find with accurate information and the price is good. I have bought scales in the past that have cost over $100 and are worth two-pennies now. I love the points you can use to track your weight and put one at the desirable weight you want to be at, for me it's 150 pounds.

Nice scale. It is a bit big compared to other scales but that makes it really easy to read and easy to step on to as there is plenty of room.

It stays accurate when kids aren't playing with it. I like it so far. For the price, it was worth it.
