Wanting to better track my health, I reviewed all of the scales on amazon and then purchased this model, which offered as many features as the more expensive models, but at half the price. Aware of the "cheapie" history of the brand, I had my doubts about the quality of the product, however, and I now regret my purchase. This scale is highly inaccurate and unreliable. The other night, I weighed myself five times in a row, receiving different measurements each time, including a total range of five pounds difference and 2% body fat difference, both of which are significant to anyone serious about losing weight and lowering body fat. I now realize that accuracy should be the primary consideration when purchasing a scale. I will probably give this scale away, and purchase one of the more expensive, better reviewed models here on amazon.

I found this scale easy to use and accurate, however, I have only had it a year, and have had to replace the 2 lithium button batteries that it requires at least 3 times. I only use the scale about once a week. The cost of the batteries alone is almost equal to what I paid for the scale. I will be buying a new scale with longer battery life.

I just bought this scale yesterday. To test it I weighed myself morning, noon and night. Each time I tried 3-4 readings in a row. They were all consistent.

The only downfall I have found so far is no where on the box did it say how high the body fat reading would go. I am 32 years old, 5 foot 6 inches, 240 pounds, with a body fat on other scales of about 43%. This scale errors out every time.

This scale is pretty good if you just want to read your weight. My husband got inconsistant readings on hydration and body fat. My daughter and myself got an "Err" reading for body fat and hydration and I don't think it matters what weight you are . My daughter is very thin and still readings would not work. Waste of money if you are looking for those other features to work.

My old scales fluctuated daily by 2-3 lbs. I was never sure if it was a weight loss or gain for me or just the scales. This scale is solid as a rock. The fluctuation I see now are me not the scale. I use the body fat and water component also. It was very easy to set up. For the price it has been a good 'deal'.

This scale works decent, but in no means it is perfect. The scale gives you a decimal point in your weight, but it is only correct within about 2 lbs for my weight, so there's really no point in having it displayed. If I weigh myself 3 times in a row, it will read xx0, xx1 and xx2 so it's not good for watching exact pounds, but you should watch your weight in 5 lb increments anyway because your weight can fluctuate 2-3 pounds throughout the day anyway. As a scale, it's easy to use, and if you keep track of your weight trends week by week it is good, but don't think you'll know if you lost a pound or two overnight with this scale. For that kind of precision you need a medical-grade scale, so for this price range I think that it has really good accuracy.

My problem is with the water weight/body fat measurement. It has the 'sensors' that you are supposed to put your bare feet on to measure the body fat, but I don't think it works, I'm convinced that the scale just uses the standard tables. As someone who is athletic and has a lot of muscle mass with little fat, it is quite strange that the body fat reading puts me in the obese category.

Conclusions:

I keep this scale in the bathroom and the wife and I use it daily to keep track of our weight trends as anyone who is healthy should do with a scale. The special features and such are pretty much useless, and the precision is within 1-2 lbs so the decimal point should not be on the output. Overall, I am happy with the product but originally had higher expectations from the packaging.

I joined WW and met my goal, so intended to buy this scale to keep my eye on my weight gain/loss. It's easy to use, no doubt, but every time I step on the scale, I get a different reading. One time it will say 150 lbs, then one minute later, it will drop down to 135 lbs.

Now I don't trust it. For me, it was a total waste of money.

I purchased this scale to keep track of my weight loss. I'm not overweight but want to lose and tone up to be healthier and get back in shape. I also joined Weight Watchers for the nutrition part, since portion control and keeping track of what I eat helps me a lot. This scale isn't all that accurate and there is almost a 5 pound difference between this scale and the scale at my Weight Watchers meetings. Also, I had weighed myself at different times during the day (out of curiosity) and found that the difference in numbers seem unrealistic. I am considering talking to a doctor to find out if it's normal for that much of a weight fluctuation throughout one day. I bought this scale for accuracy and now question it. I am probably going to wind up spending the extra money and getting a better scale.

This seems like a neat scale for the price, but mine would not even turn on. Had to return it and I just stopped at Walmart and bought a nice Taylor model.

I purchased this scale as a gift for my sister and it stopped working within three weeks. It says on the box that it has a lifetime lithium battery...but she was going to try and replace the battery to see if she could get it to work again. Very disappointed...
