This scale came in the mail a couple of days ago, and I really, really, really *wanted* to like it. It’s inaccurate.
Some background info: I’m dieting and losing weight. In the beginning when I was losing weight at 6 lbs, 4 lbs a week, my old scale worked ok. (Taylor brand, non digital) Now that I’m losing weight at the rate of 1 lb a week I needed a much more accurate scale.
Like everybody else I was led into this scale by the negative reviews but figured I’d take a chance at it. Not a good decision. I should have researched more.
Took it out, calibrated it, weighed myself, weighed myself with a 20 lb weight, weighed myself alone again. I repeated this test multiple times, and the first and second weights are always different, ranging from a difference in .2 to over a pound or more. This is unacceptable. I would give this scale four stars if it was only off by .2 lbs or .4 lbs, but it is off by more than that.
Weighing my 20 lb weight by itself yielded results of 20 lb and 20.2 lb. However, the scale is off by more than .2 lb when I weigh myself.
I am very disappointed and honestly feel like crying. I don’t know whether or not to return this scale, as it was a waste of $$ or try to contact the company and ask for a replacement. I go away to college soon and quite frankly don’t have a lot of time for dealing with this issue. My advice to other buyers: Don’t take a gamble on this, like I did. There are enough poor reviews here to negate all of the fabulous ones. Get a different scale. This one is useless if you are looking for a scale accurate to what this scale claims to be.
UPDATED REVIEW:
I returned this scale to Amazon.com. The company emailed me and left a message on this comment before I had done that, but I got a full refund, preferring to take my business elsewhere. The company sent me a new scale of the same model which I received in the mail today, which I was not expecting seeing as how I got a refund. But who is going to complain about getting some
