I love this scale—wide base and clear display. It also has more reliable weight readings compared to the one I had before that would give you 3 different weights if you stepped on it 3 times. This one does require you to step on twice. The first reading will always be about 5 pounds high. Then the 2nd is right and if you step on more times, it is always the 2nd weight. Unfortunately, after 4 months, when I stepped on it the first time one morning, the weight was 300+ pounds, then ERR, then random numbers. I checked the batteries (still fully charged), took them out and put them back in. Then, just random results, never an accurate weight. Of course, this is beyond Amazon’s guarantee, but I reached out to Escali and asked if it was covered under warranty. It is! And they are sending a new one! Read more
The media could not be loaded. I weigh every morning, and can no longer easily pull out a scale and put it back every day. I wanted something small enough to just leave it out all the time in the same place I’ll use it - in front of my bathroom sink on the tile. This scale is perfect for me. It’s very low to the ground, has great slip-resistant feet, enough room for easy stepping on and off, and a very small length and width. I just leave it in place before my sink. When I use my sink I just stand slightly feet apart, and they fit on each side of this scale easily. It’s almost like it’s not there. Now, that’s just me. Other people would just move it under the bathroom storage with their toe or something, or bend over to move it, or maybe have a dedicated place to put it. Anyway, whether you move it daily or not, it’s a great scale with smaller overall size, large enough to step on and off easily and firmly, with large numbers that light up quite well. It flashes a few weights as it hones in on a final number, then it flashes when it reaches your weight. The number stays on a few seconds so you can step off and look down. I keep the numbers in my peripheral vision as it swings through some numbers, and when I see it flash on and off I know I can step away and look at it. I also like that it gives me a tenth’s place (though rounded to the nearest even number). For example, it might say 235.4 or 189.8, but it will not say 156.7, for example. So it’s to the nearest two-tenths. (More than good enough, and better than just to the nearest pound.) Batteries are easy. It arrived promptly. It has a beautiful subtle design. No downside to this good purchase. I recommend it. Read more
The scale arrived without original packaging and with no instructions. It was defective--it generated error messages and did not produce a weight reading. The item appears to be defective secondhand merchandise. I returned it immediately. Read more
Let me get my one con out of the way. I am a bigger person and when i use it I never know when its done so i just kinda have to hope when i get off its not still weighing me and i don't get a good reading. I have learned to be more patient and stand more still which seems to have done the trick but i wish there was a beep or something. I like how wide it is and the numbers are clear and matched my doctor weigh in on the same day so 10/10. Read more
I like that it is easy to read, instantaneous when you step on it (you don’t need to “wake it up” by stepping on it twice), and very contemporary looking. I took off one star because it’s cold when you first step on it. I guess that’s because it’s glass. Why don’t they make scales with little heaters for your feet? Read more
Easy to use, as accurate as the scale at my doctor's office, large enough so you don't have to worry about losing your balance, the red numbers are easy to read without having to bend over, and the black, slim, low profile design is very stylish. Also one of the most inexpensive at Amazon. I love it. Read more
Love this scale! Discovered it at the Charles Hotel by Harvard Square. Ordered it from Amazon for home - wonderful scale! Read more
My husband, who is physically handicapped cannot use it without support which affects all hope of getting an accurate weight. Even with his fingers on the cabinet surface in front of the scale, an accurate weight is impossible. however, it works ok for myself as an older person with no balance problems. Read more
