5.0 out of 5 stars He stepped on the scale--and got a weigh, January 7, 2009

This review is from: Salter 200 Academy Professional Mechanical Scale, White and Gray (Health and Beauty)
All I want, when I step on the scale, is to get my weight, as accurately as possible. Don't need my body fat, don't need my bone density, don't want to have to put in batteries, don't need the day, date or my fortune, just my weight, within 1/2 a pound or so. Oh, and I have to be able to read the scale as well.

This product does just that. That's all it does, but it does it very well. Thank you, Salter.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this scale!!, July 10, 2009

This review is from: Salter 200 Academy Professional Mechanical Scale, White and Gray (Health and Beauty)
This scale is great! We have a digital scale in my house also and I would always be so frustrated with it because I could get on the scale get one number, step off and get on again a second later and get a completely different number. Our digital scale has all these fancy features like a body fat calculator etc. but it isn't helpful if you cannot get a consistent, accurate weight measurement. This scale however is extremely accurate, I consistently get the same number even when stepping on & off several times. It also looks great in my bathroom and is super easy to re-set if I ever have to move it around. You simply get it home, remove it from the box, set the dial to "0" and step on and off a few times to get it activated. It's so simple! It's also extremely durable. & I received it in two days with free shipping! I highly recommend this scale!

This review is from: Salter 200 Academy Professional Mechanical Scale, White and Gray (Health and Beauty)
Despite a few shortcomings in the the materials used, I think this is a good scale. I think it weighs perfectly and consistently, with a smooth dial that doesnt bounce around. You can tell the mechanical parts are high quality, but its a shame the manufacturer made some shortcuts in the materials that were chosen.

This is the same scale sold for much more at Restoration Hardware. Unfortunately, the box said "designed and engineered in England" and on a tiny sticker on the bottom, it said "made in China". Unfortunately, this is a trick a lot of manufacturers seem to be using these days.

The large domed dial cover is made from plastic, not glass. Secondly, the gray non-slip surface was a light gray, textured sticker that seemed thin and had a few light ripples. It makes an otherwise nice looking scale look a little bit cheap; something that could have been easily avoided with a heavier rubber surface. There were a couple of voids on the metal under the gray... Read more

This review is from: EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and "Step-On" Technology (Health and Beauty)
I changed my review from a 1 to a 5...here's why I am impressed. First, I had a Tanita scale; it told me my weight, body fat, water weight, bone weight, if my toe nails needed to be cut, etc. However, I could not read the display and as executive/non-athlete I did not need all this information. When that scale died, I went looking for a good solid simple scale. I liked the way this scale looked and the reviews on Amazon were good. Plus, the price was great. I got it right away, and it was great. Looked good, easy to read, and I liked the 0.2 denominations. However, unfortunately it stopped working after two weeks. I went to return it on Amazon and posted a disappointing review. Then the most amazing thing happened...this really happened...about an hour after I posted my review, I was contacted by the company. They read my review and apologized that my unit was not operating the way that it was supposed, discussed their high quality control and that this should not have happened,... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Very accurate, but hard to turn on, July 27, 2009

This review is from: EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and "Step-On" Technology (Health and Beauty)
The scale is very accurate. I stepped on and off multiple times, and always got the same number. Then I put on a light jacket, stepped on again, and it was up .6 pounds. Perfect! However, it is somewhat tricky turning the scale on. They say you're supposed to "tap" it with your foot to activate it, but nothing happens when I tap. The only thing that seems to work for me is if I slide my foot underneath the scale and lift it up slightly. This seems to turn it on, but it's a somewhat awkward maneuver. So I take off two stars for the difficulty in turning it on.

UPDATE (3/25/2010) since writing my previous review, EatSmart has updated their product and gotten rid of the need to tap on. They sent me a new version, and it really does work much better. It seems just as accurate, though there is a .2 pound difference between the old scale and the new (which really isn't too bad). You step on the scale, and it just works. Much better!!

This review is from: EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and "Step-On" Technology (Health and Beauty)
Having designed electronic measuring equipment I tend to be a bit more picky about my bathroom scales than the average customer... I value linearity, accuracy and repeatability (even if it doesn't matter that much if my weight fluctuates by a half pound here and there)

This scale sure is a pretty thing and has incredibly easy to read numbers (The 3.5" is a misstatement, the display is 3.5 inches -wide-, not high. The numbers are comparable to other 1.3" high scales) The "tap to wake" is a bit inconsistent; sometimes it takes a subtle tap, sometimes a sharp thumping with a foot isn't enough to start it up. Not a deal breaker but enough to lose a star in my rating.

By my testing the scale is accurate within my typical weight range and very repeatable but watch out for the "fake repeatability" that's typical of scales in this price range: If you step on the scale with a weight that's pretty close to the previous reading it'll give you the same number.

This review is from: Ozeri Ultra Thin Professional Digital Kitchen Food Scale, in Elegant Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I know my wife was looking for a kitchen scale so I decided to surprise her with this one, cuz from what she tells me, "little stuff" like this makes her happy. On the day it was suppose to arrive, I walked up to my door after a long days work, wondering how happy and surprised she would be, and hoping she would be nice to me like BEFORE we got married. I casually walked in with a smile on my face only to be welcomed home by my lovely wife and what I can only describe as a noise concoction of a chainsaw, jackhammer, and a wailing cat in heat all in one(anyone ever hear a cat in heat before?). Here's the highlight of that civil conversation:

" OMG WHY DID YOU BUY THIS, I JUST BOUGHT ONE TODAY! "
" Oh, I didn't know. Thought you'd like this one..."
" OMG I SPENT ALL THIS TIME RESEARCHING, AND I BOUGHT THE ONE I DID FOR A REASON !"
" Oh, well I researched it too. Lets check it out..."

I figured I didn't want to completely forfeit any dignity I had... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Liked it at first, but I now think it's too flaky, April 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Ozeri Ultra Thin Professional Digital Kitchen Food Scale, in Elegant Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
Update: I now feel that this scale is too flaky for me to use for baking. It's auto-off'd in the middle of my adding ingredients one too many times, and today I tare'd it after adding something, walked to the sink to get water, returned a few seconds later, and it read "-178g" rather than 0. I re-tare'd it, but really this behavior just isn't ok. I'm going to replace it with a model that has an ac-adapter available, perhaps a My Weigh KD-7000, or an Escali 136DK, so that it doesn't auto-off in the middle of things. (I'm not wandering off and leaving it alone when it switches off like this - I'm actively adding ingredients, if perhaps not quickly enough for its liking if I'm trying to accurately measure e.g. 20 more grams of water.)

[original review follows]

I bought this scale to use for measuring ingredients for making bread. It's working really well for that - seems accurate (based on my measuring other things in my kitchen that I knew the weight of), and... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Fast and Accurate!, February 7, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Ozeri Ultra Thin Professional Digital Kitchen Food Scale, in Elegant Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I ordered this on thursday night and I received this Monday morning! The scale itself is also great as well. I'm taking a special cooking class with a friend and we all require kitchen scales. I chose this scale because it was so thin and it even fits in my purse. Its easy clean, and its weighing platform is large enough to cater to most of my needs yet small and thin enough to be portable. And not to mention it looks really sleek and modern. A little trick I've learned from cooking with kitchen scales is to use a nickle, which weighs exactly 5 grams to test the accuracy of the scale, and so far, this scale seems to be on par in terms of accuracy and consistency. Its been a perfect scale so far, and I greatly recommend this to everyone.
