2.0 out of 5 stars feature rich, but operates poorly, July 15, 2007

This review is from: Weight Watcher Scale by Conair WW89T Weight Tracking and Body Analysis Scale with Color Bar Display (Health and Beauty)

I bought this scale over the other 4 products on the shelf because of all the different heath indicators it reported and because the cartoon-like picture on the box suggested it would be very easy to read. Well it turned out that the operation of the scale is far more complex than it needed to be, and the stream of health indicators are cycled thru far too quickly and then the LCD display goes blank (I'm guessing they didn't do any usability testing before releasing the design). To read all the info it measured/calculated, you need to repeat the weighting process (again, too complex) and be quick to catch what you missed the first time thru. If you just need a basic weight tracking capability, you should probably buy some other scale. Otherwise, this does have more features than the others but you need to be prepared for extra complexity and inconvenient operation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally useless..., February 24, 2007

I already own a Tanita and, being a member of Weight Watchers, I thought that this scale would be great because, in addition to weight and fat content, it also measures water mass and bone mass. What a big mistake.

First of all, if you don't step on the scale directly in the center, it tips over. I tripped on it twice in 5 minutes because there is no support on the left or right side of the scale (I am mildly overweight).

Second, to begin weighing yourself, you have to tap the scale with your foot to turn it on, then bend over and press the User button, then wait until you see all the stats that you programmed in (height, age, gender), then wait until you see 0.0 to step on the scale...

Third, you CANNOT see the readout! It is so dim and unclear that I could barely make out my weight, let alone all the numbers that flash after it.

Last, since you cannot see the numbers that quickly flash before your eyes (it first shows weight, then weight since last weigh-in, then weight since the first time you stepped on the scale, then fat mass, then fat percentage, then bone density, yada yada yada). Imagine seeing all of those numbers flashing at you and trying to make sense of what number means what and then REMEMBERING those numbers! What? They don't have a recall? No! Once those numbers disappear, you can never view them again.

Weight Watchers should be embarrased to have their name on this Conair product. What a waste of $60. I purchased mine today and I am returning it tomorrow. I will just keep my Tanita, thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honestly, I Like This Scale, May 10, 2009

This review is from: Weight Watcher Scale by Conair WW89T Weight Tracking and Body Analysis Scale with Color Bar Display (Health and Beauty)

I've had this particular scale in my household for about 3 years now. While I did not buy it from Amazon.com, I did purchase it due to the health conscience features it boasted on the packaging. Things like body fat indicator & weight loss tracker were of importance to me as I wanted something that could easily track these features while I was losing weight. Unlike the other reviewers who have claimed the LCD display is hard to read, I actually found it easy to read. The black contrast screen (for me and my family) is pretty easy to read. The numbers on the scale show up "white" on a contrasting black background which is much easier on the eyes and there's no strain in reading it. However, I will say the only difficulty that comes from reading the scale are the color coded health bar indicators associated with things like BMI, Bone Mass, Body Fat and so forth. While it was a novel idea by ConAir (the company that actually made the scale) it can be troublesome to read those health bars due to the fact they are showing up on a black LCD background and the colors aren't really that bright. Really you will need to get off the scale once your weight is listed to get a closer look at where the health bars are positioned according to selected health factors. Operating the scale really isn't that difficult. The instructions are clear and straight forward, I would advise reading through them fully one time and perhaps having them at your side when you set up the scale. Also keep in mind that if you want to set a goal weight that is more than 99.8 pounds from your actual/current weight, it will cause the scale to "ERR" when you use it for tracking. For some reason this scale is unable of reading/calculating a difference between goal weight and your actual weight if the difference is at or over 100 pounds so keep that in mind when you set your goal weight (if you're a bigger person) and you'll be fine. The instructions printed with my scale didn't list this glitch so I had to find out the hard way. Another problem with the scale is that for some reason I cannot not get it to read Bone Mass. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it'll cycle through all the features normally but "ERR" when it gets to the Bone Mass indicator. Maybe it has to do with body weight being too high for it to actually calculate (much like the goal weight indicator) so I'll chalk it up to that for now. Overall this is a great product and it serves its purpose well within my household. With up to 4 users being able to use this scale just about everyone in my household can have their interactions and keep track of their weight loss goals on this scale. For the features this scale boasts, it was well worth the money I paid for it and even 3 years later I still find it to be one of the better scales on the market. If I didn't I would have purchase another one by now. For those on the fence, I say before you take the plunge in buying this product...go to your local retail store and try out this product in the store. Most retail stores have displays where you can try out products before actually making the purchase. I would recommend doing this and if you like what you see (and how it works) then either purchase it at that retail store or (even better) come back to Amazon.com and make your purchase here.
