Etekcity Bathroom Scale for Body Weight, Highly Accurate Digital Electronic Weighing Machine for People, LCD Display, Large Size, 6mm Tempered Glass for Safe Home Use, Batteries Included, 400 lbs

I am very happy with the use, performance, and appearance of this scale. It is a very first-class device at a very attractive price. Unlike my older unit with a LCD display this one doesn't seem to be affected by being cold in the morning before the house warms up. The old unit would not display all its digits; this one seems to have no issues. I like the fact that it uses AA batteries instead of the button batteries that are much more expensive. One caveat that is my fault but worth noting - the first time I pulled the little insulating plastic out of the batteries so the unit would work, I didn't latch the battery compartment properly and when I weighed myself the first time, I snapped off the little catch holding the cover over the battery compartment. I have it taped shut at this point, and it doesn't affect the performance of the scale, but it was a stupid mistake on my part - the cover must be securely fitted and the tab fully "clicked" into place before standing on the scale. There isn't space under the scale to accommodate an open battery door. That is definitely not the fault of the scale. When you stand on the scale, it initially hunts a bit then flashes the weight three times once all has settled down. That's a very nice feature allowing you to read the weight without the scale constantly "hunting". It's still pretty new, but I expect a long life for this unit.

very attractive, sturdy and easy to read results with digital and lies firmly on the poor . weight results show up on display and you don't need glasses to read, Light weight easy to move

We have been using this Etekcity digital scale for a year now in our our home are very pleased with the scale so far. We had purchased this scale to replace our previous Sunbeam manual , Spring loaded bathroom scale which was horribly inaccurate and deliberated for a considerable amount of time between this scale and the FitBit Aria smart scale . In the end because of the huge price difference and very positive reviews on this scale made us go with this one Design, Construction & Build ------------------------------------- - The scale is feels heavy for its size mainly due to the thick, monolithic glass sheet stepping surface of the scale - All our fears or cracked or broken glass due to stepping on it frequently, bumping or dropping it were unfounded in the past year ( we did all of them !) , so its definitely sturdy and well built - The two tone black-sliver finish on the scale looks ultra modern and chic - The digital readouts are large and backlit in a pleasant not-too-strong blue which is visible both in light and complete darkness. I often check my weight on the scale during midnight bathroom visits. Long Term Accuracy --------------------------- - When we initially purchased this scale i used a 10 lb Rice bag to measure its accuracy and it was always within 0.2 lb of 10 lb with repeated tests, which is very accurate for a digital scale and well suited for measuring body weight - Another pointer to the accuracy of this scale is that the weight that we got for our toddler son from his pediatrician using a professional balance scale matches the results we got from this scale I tried the same accuracy test today after a whole year of use & abuse: 10 lb Basmati Rice Bag : Scale Measured = 10.4 lb 6lb Dumbbells : Scale Measured = 5.8 lb As you can see that even after one year the scale is fairly accurate , for all I know it might be 100% accurate as well as I have no way of certifying that the 10lb rice bag or the dumbbells are infact their true stated weights. Battery Life ---------------- - The scale is still using the two original AAA that came with the package even after a year of frequent, daily use so I'd say its great! Cons ---------- - About the only con about this scale is that the glass surface, being glass, needs frequent cleaning as it shows water stains. we usually wipe it with a damp cloth once every week so its not too bad. If you are going worry about keeping it spotless always then you'll going to have a hard time :) Overall we are very pleased with our purchase and couple of our family friends have also purchased it after seeing it in our home and can highly recommend this scale if your are looking for a good looking , inexpensive and accurate digital scale.

First of all, this scale NEEDS TO BE ON A SOLID, FLAT SURFACE. A lot of reviews have complained about the scale not working when placed on a carpet, but scales don't work on carpets. It has to do with the sensors in them. Before you get upset that your scale isn't working, place it on a hard surface. This is a great, simple scale. It comes on quickly and automatically when you step on. The output is backlit, so its easy to read even in dark environments. It is precise within a tenth of a pound, which is really more precision than anyone needs but at least you know you are getting an accurate reading. The scale is sleek and looks good in a bathroom. Its the perfect scale for someone who just wants a scale. It seems like all scales are becoming smart scales one way or another and becoming outrageously expensive in the name of being able to track your weight automatically on your smart phone. This scale is perfect and at a great price for someone who just wants a scale. *****UPDATE****** After owning this scale for a little while I've noticed some negatives. First, this scale shows every smudge and water mark. Going to the bathroom and a little droplet splashes out? It shows. Flicking water off your hands after washing and some falls on the scale? It shows. It's a little bit annoying because it makes the sleek scale look messy. You have to clean it like every week if you want it to look at its top. Secondly, the scale kind of cheats. If your weight falls within 0.6 pounds of your last measure, it will just revert to the previous measurement. It gives the scale the illusion of being accurate (because the weight readout doesn't jump around) but it can actually be inaccurate if you actually lost half a pound. I still think its a great scale that is very accurate for the most part but these two pitfalls are a bit annoying.

This Etekcity bathroom scale might just be the nicest “truth teller” in my house. Step on and it gives you your weight instantly, clearly, and without flashing some mysterious number like an old carnival scale. The backlit display is big enough that I don’t have to squint, and the tempered glass makes it feel sleek and modern instead of like a medieval torture device. It’s highly accurate (I weighed myself three times in a row to check) but somehow doesn’t feel judgmental, just efficient. The large size is great if you don’t want to balance on a postage stamp, and it’s sturdy enough for anyone in the family to use. If you’re looking for a dependable scale that won’t sass you, this one’s a winner. Edit to add: Even after years of use, this is still going strong and working well!! Great value for money!
