   I’m more than satisfied with this scale. I was concerned that I would have to buy a more expensive scale to get good accuracy (see reviews of other digital scales in this price range,) but I’ve tested it several times over several days, and my weight varies by 2 pounds or less over the course of the day. My first weigh-in of the day is pretty much the same as previous mornings, sadly.

   The neutral color (grey) and glass would blend in well with just about any decor, and the LCD screen is easy to read, with 1.5 inch high numbers.

   The only thing I don’t like about it is that it creaks quite a lot when I step on it, even though I’m nowhere near its 330 pound maximum load. That problem is in my head more than in the scale: I don’t think it’s going to break, but it sounds like I’ve got two people standing on it at once–I’m not THAT fat, am I?

   An added feature is that when I’m craving, I go into the bathroom and look at it, and know that it isn’t going to fall for any of my excuses tomorrow morning. So the last piece of cake still sits in the fridge. The scale has intimidated me into not eating it.

   Accurate, easy to read, easy on the eyes, and intimidating–I think it’s a good deal.

   7/12/2008 update: Two years after I bought this scale, I like it as much as I did when I first got it.

   In fact, today I realized my mother needs a scale, and I bought this one for her. I threw in a Sudoku book and got free shipping. And I look like a very thoughtful daughter. ;^)

   But I got her this scale because I know that, even with her no longer perfect eyesight, she’ll be able to read the numbers. And I know that after two years of daily use, this scale is still accurate.

   We’re happy with this purchase. I especially like the increments in 10ths. The results are accurate/consistent.

   I liked the look of this scale more than anything else. It’s obviously important to place this (or any other scale) on a hard surface (as opposed to carpet, for instance), but I recommend checking your weight at least three times to ensure that you are getting a precise measure. A tap on the scale turns it on and after a few seconds of calibration, it registers a zero, at which point you may step on it. The scale determines your weight in less than 5 seconds depending upon how steady you are, and turns off a few seconds after you step off. The first reading usually read 1-3 pounds more or less than subsequent readings, so I trust the reading that I can reproduce after repeating the on/off cycle. That is, reading 2 and 3 were usually the same, so I trusted them. Other than that, I like this scale.

   The weight is accurate and the numbers are easy to read. If it would kick out a fortune, this would be the perfect scale…

   Having a scale that only goes in pounds has been difficult when looking for small pieces of encouragement. This scale is not only good looking, but offers encouragement in steps of .2 pounds and does so reliably. I recommend it highly.
