Product Description

This is not the typical large dial scale. The Pro Helix by Taylor features the largest dial, the most 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 8 diameter dial is large enough to read from a distance, no bending over the scale to see the weight reading. 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 smallest 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 400 lbs in 1 lb increments. Plus, the champagne and nickel accents make an attractive addition to any bathroom. 5 year warranty. MADE IN THE USA

2.0 out of 5 stars Looks good, but sorry to say, it's just not, May 30, 2005

I purchased this scale some time ago and have, from the first been disappointed. We never use it. It just sits on the bathroom floor, taking up space and offering us the opportunity to stubb our toes.

Depending on whether I shift my weight toward my heels or toes, the reading varies as much as 12 pounds, which is, in my case is a 4%, difference. This seems a rather large variance and it makes it impossible to use this scale as part of any weight-loss program.

When we first got it I sent the company a letter asking for a replacement (I had already exchanged it once at the store), to which I never received a reply.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as big as "Big Guy", but I've experienced similar problems., July 8, 2005

This thing is bathroom furniture. If you have trouble keeping a door open, this scale might be really useful.

It's nearly impossible to zero this scale. Turning the zero knob does nothing for several turns, then - WHAM! - it jumps 5 pounds. When I weigh myself multiple times, my "weight" can vary as much as 10 pounds. I'm about 180, so that's 5.5%.

Well, at least I'll have something for my next yard sale.

After use the arrow does not return to exact "0" setting. Some times it returns afew pounds before or after "0" as set but never to the original "0" as set.
