I bought this Thinner scale to replace another model of Thinner scale that developed a hole in the plastic top covering. This new one is much lighter in weight than that older scale, but is rugged enough. The scale is reliable, giving the same reading consistently within .5 pounds and is accurate, giving my true weight. I know it is my true weight because I checked with a balance scale in the gym. Balance scales are the kind that doctors use. The older Thinner was off by 3 pounds. This scale is ready to be stepped on in a few seconds after turning it on by stepping on it briefly and the numbers are large enough to read without my glasses.

I was looking for an accurate digital scale and this was the most affordable one I found on Amazon.com. It is fully functioning right out of the box and works great. However there are a few things you should note:

Minor Concerns:

1) To conserve battery [included] you must first tap the scale to turn it on and wait a second or two for it to zero. Originally I had some trouble with this because the center spot indicated to tap is not very sensitive. I found tapping lightly on the left of the center seems to work well.

2)Once you read your weight, you only have about two second to quickly press the save button on the scale. Please understand that the button cannot distinguish between different users and simply records the last 5 measurements if you press and hold the button.

However I didn't feel these problems should result in the deduction of a star because of the price.

Redeeming qualities:

1) Cheap
2) Works right out of the box
3) Large display with weight increments of 0.5 pounds
4) Good precision [reproducibility of the measurement]- I checked my weight three times in a row and it showed the same weight.

Conclusion:

If you are looking for an affordable digital scale, this works great!

PS: you need to open the battery cover [I used a flat-head] to remove the tape attached to the battery to turn it on when you receive it.

I didn't really want another battery operated scale, but the price was right and it got good reviews, so I gave it a shot. I'm glad I did. It lets you set to pounds or kilos and it weighs to the 1/2 pound. It seems pretty accurate, I can even weigh my 30 pound grandson with pretty good accuracy. It's a thin scale, but not paper light, like some I've seen. It's easy to read, even with my glasses. It's less accurate on carpet, but they all seem to be; so I keep it on a hard, flat floor. All and all, I'm very happy with this scale. I tossed out my Walmart scale.

I bought this scale after reading the Amazon reviews and am glad I did. It takes up 1/3 the space of my old scale and gives an on-the-nose reading (confirmed on a doctor's scale). I'm encouraged by my weekly weigh-ins because this scale measures my loss by 1/2 pound increments, which the old scale could not do accurately. This helps me stay on target with my weight-loss plan.

I read all the reviews before buying and have been very happy with this scale. I waited a few months before writing to see if any problems that others reported appeared. So far so good.

Works very well. The previous scale I owned - which was more expensive and included a body fat calculator - would give a different result every time I stepped on it. This one works perfectly, and gives me an identical result every time I get on it. It's also accurate, as it gives the same result (within 0.5 pounds) as when I use someone else's scale. I'd recommend this scale in a second.

I literally could not find a decent scale in the Milwaukee area, so I turned to Amazon and found the Conair Thinner scale. It's wonderful! It's quite compact and slim, so that moving it around is a breeze. Using its LED feature is quite easy, and it's very accurate in comparing it to my doctor's standing scale. I highly recommend this product.

I read many reviews before buying this scale. Although all digital scales have some errors, this scale is pretty accurate, especially if you put it on hard surface. In this price range it is one of the best choices. It's recomandable.

It works great, it's my first time I purchased a digital scale. I bought it because of the low price and I am very happy that I did buy it after thinking a lot and not being sure if it would be a good scale, but now I can say it is wonderful. All my family use the scale since it arrived, two three times a day and always gives the correct measure. We love this scale!!!

This is the first time I have purchased a scale. I got it mainly because of the price but after reading the reviews - I felt like I was making a good choice. I love it! Its thin...light...and I dont have to buy any batteries for it; what more can you ask for? I dont have other scales to compare it to but I am glad I did buy it.
