This is the best scale I have used, and I have tried about a dozen. Cheap scales are just that, cheap. You get what you pay for. They are inaccurate and inconsistent. This scale, however is accurate and consistent. You can step off, move the scale and step on and the weight is the same. You can drink a glass of water and the weight changes. It works. It is easy to read and I love the backlit screen. No frills here. It weighs. That's it. All the other crap on a scale is useless. $45 is so worth it for this scale, considering a cheap one is $20 and you will buy at least two of those because they suck so bad. Read more
Really nice. Accurate. Light weight. Simple. Well made. Read more
this is absolutely the best home bathroom digital scale I have ever owned it's Japanese made and very high-quality and it cost about $50 versus the cheap junk it's sold in stores for around $20 like the very inaccurate Taylor scales. This Tanita scale is extremely accurate weights are very reproducible there's no variance of the weight I know it's accurate as it weighs precisely the same weight as another brand of scale I have that's also extremely accurate so it can't be a coincidence that they both read exactly the same. Very highly recommended I'll never buy anything ever again in the future only Tanita Read more
I've had this scale for over a month. Overall I prefer this scale to my old Health-o-Meter. I'm happy with my purchase. Pros: 1) The scale is very accurate. I had an appointment with my doctor and was weighed in the office. This scale is within ounces of the scale in my doctor's office. 2) You can weigh yourself multiple times in a row and get a close, but different reading. My old scale would repeat the exact same weight if you repeatedly stepped on and off the scale. I've read that there is some sort of memory in some scales that will do this. This Tanita scale can give a different reading each time you step on. For example, the scale could give you a weight of 150.2. You could step down and the back on immediately and weigh 150.4 when you step back up. I really like that it will not spit back a memorized weight. 3) The backlight is a nice feature that my old scale did not have. Cons: 1) This scale is difficult to turn on. I sometimes have to step on it 2 or 3 times with my full weight before it comes on. It will not come on with just a tap of the foot. 2) The scale weighs in .2 increments. I don't care for this. I would prefer .1 increments. But because the scale is so accurate, I will live with it. Read more
Simple and accurate. Not encumbered with other functions, e.g., body fat measurement. Fussy setup for first use. Would buy it again, if needed. Read more
I’m very happy with my new scale. I bought the sleek black model and I love that the digits light up blue, making it so easy to read. Also I am finding this scale to be very accurate, making it easy for me to stay on the right track. I highly recommend that you buy one! Read more
Got this to replace the Eatsmart Precision Plus which was not giving reliable readings. So far so good. It calibrated easily on setup and gives consistent readings when placed in different locations. Picks up on small changes like clothes or a phone in your pocket and does NOT use a memory chip to remember your last weight which has been a problem with other models. I wish it were slightly larger but other than that it's great. Read more
Looks cheap and not a good quality. Sometimes it works and sometimes it takes several times to reset it Read more
