Eat Smart Digital Bathroom Scale with Extra Large Easy to Read Lighted Display, Weight Tracking, Includes Body Tape, Grey and Clear

Classy and accurate/came with dead batterUPDATED
Rec’d 5/14/2013 today. Model ESBS-01/2013 Version. With this new updated-corrected version, tap once on scale, ONLY 0.0 stays on few seconds while calibrating–then screen goes dark. NOW, ready to weigh yourself. Whenever scale is moved, do the tap-0.0-calibrate again–weigh yourself after that. (also have Taylor digital from K-Mart, using 9 volt battery, that reads each next 1/2 pound.) CON: EatSmart came with four DEAD “aaa” HEAVY DUTY TRIAL ONLY BATTERIES-not even alkalines ! Disgraceful, EatSmart – How can an upscale company like yourself with basic to expensive scales, just throw in junk batteries? / Like kids’ battery operated Xmas gifts–batteries not included, and nobody bought extras. / Compared scale readings between scales, which are between 1/2-1 pound apart at the most-Taylor same price. Checked for memory improperly resetting itself, by just giving last weight again, if less than 2-5 pound change, as reviews discuss. If I weigh 200 pounds, then grab 2 pound weight–I should be at 202…NOT 200 again, as reviews seem to say. I DO NOT find this problem. SO FAR – get consistent personal weight within 1 pound and I’m not moving scale. Moving scale makes no difference if you just reset to 0.0 /Temperature appears to affect readings on both electronic scales the same–1-2 pounds lower when colder by 10-20 degrees. After calling Taylor, they said how to fix my error weights, by a not-in-the-book resetting procedure-that worked. They also said their scale is affected slightly by temperature. SO, truthfully, ANY scale basically gives your weights over a period of time, so you finally will see a pattern of weight gain or loss–seeing a very accurate and consistent DAILY change, you might not notice. Taylor now my backup, because it’s few years older, and the EatSmart is quite updated. Glad both working, but only bought EatSmart because Taylor got the errors problem. EatSmart screen remains dark 1 in 30+ times, but just the 1st weight attempt–lightly step on it the same every time. Blue numbers easy to read in bright conditions–better than the red digit Taylor. First sight of tempered glass platform made me think—ME, step on glass to get weight—eeek—LOL. The 4 aaa batteries much better than those old type 9 volt batteries that even cost more. 400 pound scale limit too high, as a smaller range would give better accuracy….be it a thermometer or any measuring device. Buy this bottom of the line EatSmart, but be sure you have 4 new aaa batteries within grasp ! Seems they have updated to correct problems listed in amazon reviews. with this 2013 version. It’s true, once 0.0 calibrated and not moved, just step on it—I say this EatSmart is weigh-in accurate. I take away 1 star because of company supplying dead batteries. Weigh at same time of day, every weighing. UPDATE 6/13/2013 – working very good–reads same as my other scale, basically. —UPDATE 8/5/2013 – My old Taylor shows error too often now, so retired it–but does still eventually show a correct reading ! My EatSmart excellent and no battery problem. The 9volt Taylor battery was always going dead every month or so. Surely, this is the pick of the best at Amazon, still. UPDATE UPDATE …. Works Great……but, seems to think I’m gaining weight—-naw, can’t really be……AND TO TOP OFF THINGS – my waist tape measure says my waist is bigger ! UPDATE 6/27/2014 — Scale has been showing less weight and a new tape measure shows a smaller waist measurement, SO don’t know why it used to pick on me, showing more weight…lol. ANYWAY….scale works like new, still. Knowing if my weight is going up or down a small amount, is more important than the actual weight….readings are accurate in small degrees. / I’d like to say, this scale SHOULD BE rated at 4 stars…. because it came with dead battery ! UPDATE UPDATE 2/2/2017 —- 3 1/2 years later, works like new

Accurate, Easy to Read, and Simple to Use Scale
Purchased for home use. The scale is very easy to set up and gives consistent, accurate readings. The large, backlit display is clear and easy to read, even in low light. The included body tape is a nice bonus for tracking measurements. Overall, a straightforward and reliable bathroom scale that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Slightly too expensive for comparative products in the market

Easy to use, incredibly accurate, and bright clear digital display. This scale is awesome. I use it daily. I prefer pounds, but it can also be set to kilograms and “stone.” Who in the world uses stone though? What a ridiculous unit of measurement.Anyway. Buy this scale for the pounds and kilos. It’s great! Highly recommended!
