Eatsmart Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale with Ultra Wide Platform and Step-on Technology 440-Pounds


Perfect for my whole family. Finally confident in my weights.5

I have anxiously awaited the release of this scale for some time and now that I finally have it I am even happier than I thought I could be. Everybody in my family is big. I am 6'4" 375 pounds so the need for a scale that could handle my weight was actually relatively tough to find. After talking to the folks at EatSmart they convinced me to hold out for this one and I am glad I did.



The platform itself is the biggest individual selling point for me. Its probably a good five inches wider than the last scale I had. It gives me piece of mind that I am being properly weighed and I don't have to worry about turning an ankle or worse because my feet are hanging off. The 440 lb capacity was also a must for me and so far I have found it very accurate. It was within .2 lbs of the scale in my gym so I am finally confident that I am loosing some weight. The backlit display is nice but frankly unless you live in a cave I don't think you need it as the display is so big to start with.



The fact that this company also seems to stand behind their products is big for me. At 350+ lbs I have gone through a few scales over the years and after talking with the owners at Eatsmart I would not hesitate to buy from them again. Probably the best purchase of my young Amazon career.More detail ...

My Weigh Elite Series Bathroom Body Weight Scale - 400 lb


excellent scale5

I just got this scale to replace an older digital scale that broke and I'm very impressed.



To weigh yourself you step on the scale wait about 3-4 seconds for the scale to stabilize and look at the reading. The weight is easy to read -- large numerals with a backlight. The only drawback of the backlight is that it will increase battery usage. You have a choice of units -- pounds kilograms or stones.



The scale itself is very sleek and low profile. It's 11.8 inches (width) x 11.7 inches. Some scales (both digital and analog) make a clunking sound as you step on but this is totally silent.



Like most digital scales it has to be placed on a hard surface such as tile or wood.



Some digital scales have a "fake repeatability." That is if you weigh yourself and then hold a small weight and step on again it gives exactly the same value. This scale doesn't have this undesirable feature. If you hold a small weight it gives an honest result.



I measured the variability of nine readings. The range (max minus min) was 0.4 pounds and the standard deviation was 0.12 pounds. This is excellent and much better than my previous scale.



I think that the absolute reading is very close to correct but I haven't had a chance yet to compare this scale to the one at my doctor's office.



The instructions warn that the glass surface is slippery when wet. It's not a scale you want to use after stepping out of the shower or bath.More detail ...

EatSmart Precision Premium Digital Bathroom Scale with 3.5" LCD and "Step-On" Technology


Not looking back. Customer service really is that good.5

After months of frustration looking for a bathroom scale that would be accurate and reliable I am finally happy to say I think that this one fits the bill. I have been on a pretty hardcore weight loss regimen for the last seven months and got sick of dealing with a series of bathroom scales that were inaccurate and inconsistent. It was a huge hit to my morale every time I got on and the weights fluctuated +- 2 to 3 pounds in a few minutes. After a lot of research here are the plusses and minuses I found:



PROS

1. Consistency - Get on the scale get off get back on. Repeat as many times as you want. You are going to get the same weight. No fluctuations or hickups. Biggest single thing I needed in a scale.

2. Accuracy - I actually brought this scale to my Weight Watchers class and compared to what they had (beam scale). Dead on accurate within .2 pounds.

3. Regular batteries - Doesn't take any fancy batteries. Put in the four AAA batteries that came with it and I was off and running.

4. Sturdy platform - Will not tip over. Base is sturdy and low to the ground. Plenty of room to maneuver.

5. Backlit Display - Don't have to hunch over to read this display. Its the biggest I have owned on a scale by far.

6. Easy activation - Just step on this scale. No hitting buttons to turn it on. No tapping. Step on and get a weight!



CONS

So far none. Will update in the future if that changes.



Would buy this scale again and definitely will be giving it as a gift to friends and family in the future.



Update: I contacted their customer service to inquire about the mechanics of the scale (my trainer wanted to make sure I didn't buy a scale that "remembered" my weight). Not only did one of the owners of the company actually pick up the phone but he spent the time to make sure I understood my scale well. They seem to really stand behind these products.More detail ...

Ginsey Rubbermaid Extra Large Rubber Bath Mat White


Large plush non-slip mat5

My local stores have switched to mystery-brand mats imported from China and frankly I just didn't want to risk a fall in the tub. The old mat was beyond cleaning so it was time for a fresh one.



This Rubbermaid mat is just what I wanted. A classic thick non-slip mat from a manufacturer I've trusted for years embossed with a subtle wave pattern. Yes the price is higher than the mats imported from China but it just isn't worth it to save a couple of dollars. Five stars for a great product.More detail ...

Sangean H201 AM/FM Digital Shower Radio


Great Product5

I spent a lot of time reviewing other waterproof shower radios and this one seemed to have a lot of customer satisfaction. I've been using this radio for about 4 weeks now. Such a big improvement of the previous radio I was using. The sound quality is very good and the signal reception is excellant. I use it in the basement bathroom and even tucked away in the shower in the basement it manages to pull in the stations I had trouble receiving with the previous radio. Very nice.More detail ...

Tanita BC554 Ironman Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor Elite Series


Directionally Correct but Accurate???3

I've used a simple model from Tanita for over 5 years and was as happy as a man with one clock -- I knew exactly what time it was. The added features of the BC554 were irresistable but now I had 2 sources of data and they were not in agreement by a significant amount (e.g. 3% body fat difference on a base of 16%).



The weight measurement is as good as ever: precise accurate and consistent. The best that can be said of the other functions is that they seem to be directionally correct and some are simply 'figures of merit' not measurements at all.



Customer support is surprising. When I asked the inevitable questions via their web site I received a phone call from them. The answers made sense but only reinforce my assessment.



It seems that the algorithms are based on a statistical sample using gender age height and 'athleticism'. If your actual profile is close to the sample population the accuracy is probably pretty good. But as you progress toward 'athletic' and away from the calibration population accuracy declines.



It seems to me that anyone purchasing this model is serious enough about fitness to fall into this 'no man's land'. The other issue is that I would expect some continuity between the measures for 'standard adult' and 'athletic adult'. But there is a chasm! I measured 19% at 'standard' and 9% at 'athletic'. The first is clearly too high and the second is too low. Maybe a calculated average is closer to an accurate reading but that is a serious shortcoming in a top-of-the-line product.



So simpler & cheaper is my recommendation. Accept the idea that you are getting directionally correct numbers that are only accurate if you match the calibration population profile.More detail ...
