HealthOMeter 349KLX Digital Medical Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We wanted a very accurate and consistant scale for home use. Our first attempt was the Tanita HD 372 (reviewed and given one star) that was returned to Amazon.
We bought 349KLX as a much less expensive alternative to the Tanita BWB model which also has an easy to read, wall-mountable display.
The 349KLX runs on one standard 9v battery and has a lit display. We recommend velcro tape rather than the included metal mount to put the display at eye level. The 349KLX is accurate and consistant and weighs to within 2/10ths of a pound. If, for any reason, the display doesn't show "0" when turned on, it has a tare to reset the balance zero. There is also an automatic shutoff to save the battery.
Unlike some scales that lock your weight after a few seconds, this unit continues to adjust until it reaches an equilibrium.
We cannot evaluate this scale for heavy (doctor's office) usage but it is excellent for home use.

My Weigh Elite Series Bathroom Body Weight Scale - 400 lb Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
Update January 2011:
After 18 months (and one battery change), it's still working perfectly, but I want to add one more point that other reviewers have mentioned. You do need to remain very still after you get on the scale; otherwise the reading may not lock. To make it work, I stand still for about 5 or 6 seconds. Just stand still and look straight ahead; don't look down at the scale until this time has passed. Occasionally the first reading fails. In that case, step off, wait for the display to go off, and get on again. If the first try fails, the second one almost always succeeds. A person with a balance problem, however, would have difficulty getting a good reading.
I've confirmed that this scale displays a weight extremely close to the one at my doctor's office. (There's no guarantee, of course, that other scales of this model will be equally accurate.)

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The scale before my purchase of this product was a heavy, bulky glass scale. Sure it looked nice, but due to small bathroom space, I couldn't leave it in one spot and still be able to shut the door. The old scale had rounded edges throughout, so I couldn't even sit it up on end to get it out of the way without risk of it toppling over. When the old one started giving me 4 different readings with each tap of the scale within one minute, I knew it was time for a change.
After looking at several diferent scales, I opted for the EatSmart Precision Premium Digital scale. There is another EatSmart scale on the market which got favorable reviews, but this one was newer and happened to be on sale and therefore cheaper. I felt a little pang of resistance because there was only 1 review at the time of my purchase, and (if you are reading this know you know what I mean) I rely on reviews in making purchases over the internet.
My purchase arrived within a week of order (I did not use expedited shipping). I took it out of the package and the thing that struck me first was how lightweight it was. I installed the four included batteries and away I went weighing everything in sight to see if I could get consistent readings. First up was my four year old daughter. She stepped on, stepped off, and stepped on again. Same weight! Next was my husband, who reluctantly performed the same task. Same weight both times!!
Next it was my turn. I, of course, was not about to weigh-in "group style." So I ran the scale up to my bathroom. I stepped on, stepped off, and stepped on again. Uh-oh. Different weight. BUT, I stepped on again and got the same weight I got the second time around. I did that three or four more times and got the same weight again and again. Afterwards, I went downstairs and read the owner's manual for the scale.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: IF YOU MOVE THE SCALE (AND I MEAN EVEN AN INCH OR SO), YOU NEED TO TAP IT ON AND LET IT TURN ITSELF OFF. THIS PROCESS IS WHAT MAKES THE SCALE ACCURATE. IF YOU MOVE IT AND IMMEDIATELY WEIGH YOURSELF, YOU WILL GET A DIFFERENT WEIGHT BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND READINGS.
The LCD screen is bright and super-easy to read. Readings appear to be accurate . . . I correlated them with an archaic dial scale I have where you can roll the dial to zero the scale. One of the surprising finds for me about this scale is that it is so slim in height that my doors can breeze right over the top without coming in contact with it. That means in my ultra-cramped quarters I don't have to constantly reposition it. Awesome!!
I highly recommend this product. Go ahead . . . buy it. You know you want to : )
