Reviews

I have purchased the scales just over a year ago, and was initally very pleased. Easy to read display and good looking fitting into just about any setting. However all of a sudden it started giving false readings - approx 15kg under the actual weight. (I wish!) I have tried replacing the battery but that didn't help. I guess the scales are non repairable and it hurts me greatly that something that had little use is now going to landfill - I would expect scales to last a lot longer than that!! By little use I mean I used it once a week, and as I tend to shower at work not as if my bathroom gets steamy a lot apart from maybe the weekends. Definately expect more than 1 years use.

The glass platform looks great / neutral, and I imagine suites lots of suites, from granite to Formica. The thrill of balancing on a little glass platform is a wee taste of the glass floor in the sky tower, for the dietary thrill seekers in our midst. No problems with the accuracy - all the electronic scales seem pretty good, though it could be more flattering on carpet, or Mondays. The one issue that I have is that changing the units is a PITA. If one of you likes lb, another prefers the smaller number displayed in stones, or the teenagers in your midst prefer those foreign kg things, you have to lift it up, open up the battery cover and poke around in a small black space with a sharp object until the switch clicks into place. Fine if your family is in complete unit accordance. That said - I haven't found another model that spans the generations any better.

It does exactly what it says on the tin! Accurate, consistant and better still my weight is going down :-)

Used these at my friends house, Impressed with them so I bought my own. As with any bathroom scales I use them in the same place every time otherwise I have found they will give different readings.This I believe applies to most scales. Looks good and can see digits without my glasses.
