Taylor Digital Scales for Bodyweight Mixed Metal with Brushed Stainless Steel, 440 LB Capacity, Bathroom Scale, White Backlight Readout, Highly Accurate Digital Bathroom Scale

Unfortunately it works a little too good-I need to lose weight! I like the color and the design.

Nice scale, Nice large numbers you can read.

Works well

Very easy to use. Light weight, gives an accurate reading quickly, with large numbers that are easy to read.

I don't know how this got out but nobody is looking at the scales before boxing.

The product description says this: "Always Accurate: 4 high- precision sensors work together to give you a trustworthy measurement down to a 0.2 lb increments"I'm not sure if they're confused, or if they're intentionally misleading customers.Accuracy is how close it gets to the actual weight of the person being measure. Precision is how fine a measurement it is. It's precise to 0.2 lb increments, which means it simply can measure and display a weight in 0.2 lb increments. Accuracy is not shown anywhere.The problem is that they started that sentence with "Always Accurate", mentioned that they have precise sensors, and then that the measurements are in 0.2 lb increments. It's intentionally ambiguous and misleading as to whether the 0.2 lb increments is just the precision, or also the accuracy. (i.e. ±0.2 lb)The reason I bring this up is that when I received the scale, I put it on my living room floor, stepped on it briefly and then stepped off (as they recommend) to zero it. It gave me a measurement.I immediately brought it upstairs to the bathroom, zeroed it again, and it measured me at about 3 lbs heavier than I weighed moments ago downstairs.Since then I've been experimenting with it. As another example, I measured my weight just now before and after .. shall we say .. using the bathroom. Apparently I gained 2 pounds in the process of evacuation. I'm no scientist, but that seems to be somewhat physically impossible.So, this scale seems to be -- at best -- accurate to about ± 3 lbs. Sure, it'll display a weight down to 0.2 lb increments as they claim. That sounds very impressive. Until you realize that it's completely irrelevant because it might be off by a few pounds.If you're trying to track weight loss, it's pretty useless. It could tell you that you weigh 197 lbs one day, 203 lbs the next day, and you actually weigh some unknown amount in that range.

The scale is nice looking...but according to this scale...within a week...my weight has varied by 10lbs..... I don't think so. I am disappointed that 'accuracy' seems to be flexible term here.

We bought this in March: Every time we stepped on it weekly, we would get different readings within a 5 min. window. After the 4th time using it-it completely quit-no display. New batteries were installed and tried a reset, but not working. Beware!**UPDATE: I have to say that the customer service from this company was excellent. They are sending us a new model to arrive in a few weeks. Hoping this new model works. We have used Taylor scales for years with no problems.
