Poor design at Health Monitors

I had to send it back. It does not stabilize on a read operation. Kept moving like a 20lb range. I am tall and it was difficult to stand on this very narrow scale and even more difficult to look down and read because EVERY MOVEMENT EVER moves the needle. I have a digital scale that has a much broader base and is very consistent when I take multiple measurements (and no, it doesn't use the memory readings that some digital scales do to trick you into believing they're constant is). I googled the

What happened to Salter?

I have had a very good Salter scale like this for many, many years. Unfortunately I hit the plastic window with the can and broke off a piece of plastic which made it a bit unreliable. This model shown in the listing turned out to be the latest version of my old scale. He arrived yesterday. He's on his way back. It was NOT accurate. You had to adjust it 5-7 pounds to the right to get the same reading my alter gave me with the needle at zero (that's how scales are supposed to work). It also felt

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

This thing has been out since day one and now.

This thing has been disabled since day one and now we face two new, possibly related issues. The scale started stopping at 220 for me and I'm closer to 265. I "hopped" on it a bit to loosen the springs and it had to happen because the needle was about 5 pounds minus 0. When I tried rotating the dial to set this, it didn't rotate either way. Just keep going in a negative direction. Now everything is "locked" because I turned this dial all the way to the right out of frustration and it doesn't…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Do not buy but look for an alternative

I used to have an old Salter professional analogue mechanical personal scale which I really liked. I wanted a second one for my house and bought this one. Unfortunately, I should have paid more attention to the reviews. This model either has a design flaw or the factory that makes it doesn't do proper quality testing. My scale was inaccurate, the dial stuck, and the bezel seemed bent or misaligned. I decided to give it "break-in" time to see if the springs loosen with use. Unfortunately that…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Upgrade available

Not expedient.

I would give this scale a zero rating if I could. I've used it for a couple of weeks, positioned and zeroed it correctly. After proper installation, it has not been moved. The zero calibration not only had to be reset daily, but also between weighings. When I weighed myself three times a day in a row, there was +/- 4-5 pounds between each weigh-in. Contract. I repeated this test many times with three weighings. Similar weight variations were observed between each static weigh, and again the…

Pros
  • Like all others
Cons
  • Discontinued

I have had so many scales and NONE of them have been accurate. Especially digital scales. I chose a non-numeric scale for accuracy. I read reviews about the quality and thought they were being picky because it looks so nice in the pictures. Well it's beautiful. Quite cheap. Yes, you can zero it, but every time you even think about approaching the setting, it moves. That's never accurate. The face is very difficult to read unless you have superhuman vision or are dead at a weight of 10. Cheap…

Pros
  • Pleased
Cons
  • Clarity

Perfect bathroom scale but needs some work

This is an old fashioned scale with a huge face and lots of space to set it up. Perfect for the bathroom and at least for me much nicer to use than a digital scale. Please note that this is a mechanical device and will therefore require a little finesse to get the most out of it. Here's what I noticed: FLOOR SURFACE All scales should be placed on a level and firm surface. If you place it on something resilient like carpet, the surface will rebound and exhibit increased weight. That goes for all

  • Don't waste too much time
