    This scale is com­pletely inac­cu­rate, it shows com­pletely dif­fer­ent results after min­utes of use. Plus, the bat­ter­ies get loose and it’s such a pain try­ing to make it work. Don’t waist your money buy­ing some­thing that won’t work!!

    I am UNDERWHELMED to say the least… This machine is either mal­func­tion­ing or my weight changes every 5 min­utes by at least 5–6 lbs.….I find it totally inac­cu­rate at weight­ing any­thing.. one min­utes it is one weigh the next it is 6 lbs dif­fer­ent.. Now really… I changed the bat­ter­ies think­ing it was that but no.

    It won’t even weight a bag of 5 lbs of sugar correctly.

    Save your money and spend a lit­tle more for a good reli­able scale but not this one.….….Very dis­ap­pointed.….

    Very inac­cu­rate! The scale makes me 34ilbs LIGHTER than what I really am and it made my skinny 9 year old daugh­ter 25ilbs HEAVIER than what she really is and as for my bony friend (she weighs 120ilbs) when she stepped on it, it said 188ilbs! 68ilbs HEAVIER!!! I thought it was the bat­ter­ies, but I changed them 3 times AND bought new ones.…the scale is STILL a piece of crap! Don’t waist your money.

    I really like the scale.…shipped to me in a rea­son­able amount of time but the body fat % doesnt work for me but it works for my friend who is 130 lbs…i am 330 lbs and even though it says it holds up to 375 the body fat index doesnt work for me…which is ok i can look it up online.…woulda been a 5 if that func­tion worked.

    I’m really pleased with this prod­uct after only a week or so of hav­ing it. Set­ting the scale up was easy if you fol­low the instruc­tions, but then you get the hang of it. Set­ting up pro­files is done the same way as set­ting up the scale in gen­eral. Very sleek look and very sta­ble, no creak­ing as you step on it.

    Only slight prob­lem that isn’t even a huge deal would be wak­ing it up. You have to slightly step on it for it to wake up and cal­i­brate, but that’s about it. Same goes for the pro­files too, hav­ing to wait a lit­tle for it to wake up. The body fat per­cent­age also seems to jump around a bit, but I use it mainly for track­ing weight.

    Other than that, I would rec­om­mend this scale because it does what it says.
