Review on 🍽️ EatSmart Precision CalPal: Digital Bathroom Scale with BMI, Calorie Intake, and High 440 Pound Capacity by Shauna Bishop

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very inconsistent: body weight scale

If you don't program it at all, it just shows your weight (not calories or BMI), which makes me very happy. Recalibrate, 19 seconds, which I think I should do most days. My (very) old scale had to be recalibrated every time, but it took maybe a second (with a light tap of my foot). This one seems designed to rarely recalibrate, only when you move it (and requires one foot to fully step on it). The problem is that my Roomba in my house bumps into it most of the time. If I get a second one for my girlfriend's house I have to keep it in the closet. I feel like it's basically taking so long because I'm not expected to do it often - I'm basically waiting for it to shut down. The reason I haven't deducted a star yet is because I'm wondering if the extra time would result in better accuracy? Update: A few days ago my scale showed a little more than I expected. Yesterday he showed what I expected. Today I recalibrated it (waited for it to turn off), on a wooden floor, weighed: 217.4 lbs. Dressed, brushed teeth, weighed again out of curiosity: 216.5. I undressed, weighed again: 213.0. A 4.5 pound swing for maybe 10 minutes is not normal. I'd say I'm good at holding still so the scale reads accurately. Update (Day 16): Today I put it back on the hard bathroom floor, calibrated (wait for it to zero and shut down), weighed: 217.8 lbs. Waited for it to pass out then stepped on it again: 213.2lbs. Change 4.6 pounds in seconds. I recalibrated it, then weighed it again and got 213.2 again.

Pros
  • Helpful Hints: Calibration is required on first use. After installing the batteries, place the scale on a carpet-free floor, press the scale to turn it on, and allow it to turn off. Follow this advice if the scale has been moved. We recommend that you weigh yourself and wear the same clothing at the same time for best results. Please note that weight can vary throughout the day.
