Review on 📊 Etekcity Step-On Digital Bathroom Scale with 400 Lb Weight Capacity by Katie Miller

We have been using the Etekcity digital scale in our home for a year and are very happy with it. We bought this scale to replace our previous Sunbeam handheld scale, a spring-loaded bathroom scale that was terribly inaccurate and was a long-considered choice between this scale and the FitBit Aria smart scale. In the end we chose this one because of the huge price difference and the very positive reviews on this scale. Design, construction and assembly --------------------------------- ------------ - -- The scale feels heavy for its size, primarily due to the thick, solid glass surface of the scale steps - All of our fears of cracked or broken glass due to the fact that we've stepped on it and fallen on it many times were in the last year unfounded (we all made it!), so it's definitely durable and well built. The two-tone black and silver finish of the scale looks ultra modern and chic. The digital readings are large. and the background lighting in a pleasant, not too bright blue tone, which is visible both in the light and in complete darkness. I often check my weight on the scale during my midnight visits to the bathroom. Long Term Accuracy -------------- When we first purchased this scale I used a 10 lb rice bag to measure its accuracy and it has always been within 0.2 pounds out of 10 pounds, which is very accurate for digital scales and good for measuring body weight. Another indicator of the accuracy of this scale is that the weight we obtained for our young son from his pediatrician using a professional scale matches the results we obtained using this scale. Today I attempted the same accuracy test after a full year of use and abuse: 10 pound basmati rice bag: scale measured = dumbbells 10.4 pounds 6 lb: scale measured = 5.8 pounds. As you can see the scale is fairly accurate even after a year, to my knowledge it can be 100% accurate and I have no way of confirming that a 10lb rice bag or dumbbell is actually its true advertised weight. Battery Life ------------------ The scale is still using the two original AAA batteries that came with it, even after a year of frequent daily use, so I'd say that she is awesome! Disadvantages ----------- The only disadvantage of this scale is that the glass surface, the glass, needs to be cleaned frequently because water stains are visible on it. We usually wipe it down with a damp cloth once a week, so it's not that bad. If you're worried about her always being impeccable, you're going to have a hard time :) Overall we are very happy with our purchase and several friends of our family have also bought them after seeing them around our house and we can recommend them Highly recommend the scale if you are looking for a beautiful, inexpensive and accurate digital scale.
