Etekcity Digital Body Weight Bathroom Scale, Large Blue LCD Backlight Display, High Precision Measurements,6mm Tempered Glass, 400 Pounds

This scale seems to be very accurate, providing consistent readings, which is exactly what you need in a bathroom scale. Beyond its performance, it's also very well priced, offering excellent value for the money. I've purchased other items from Etekcity in the past, and I continue to be impressed by the quality and reliability of their products.One important tip for optimal use: make sure to "wake it up" correctly. Place one foot on the scale and apply some weight until the display lights up. Then, remove your foot and wait for it to zero out to 0.0. Once you see 0.0, you can step on fully for an accurate reading. Following this simple step ensures consistent results.For anyone looking for a reliable, well-priced, and accurate digital scale, I highly recommend this Etekcity model!

So, I've been on a fitness journey the last few years. Overall, I've lost 76 pounds. But the last year, I've been really stuck. I have a really great private gym, but they don't give much diet advice, so I've been floundering. In February of this year, I reached out to a professional forum, got some good advice about my diet, plugged it into a system that works for me and I love it!My experience has been that I tend to lose a few pounds, but then my body seems to put up a fight because my weights just bounce back and forth back and forth, with no real progress. I finally decided -- also in February -- that I would start tracking my weights every single day, no matter how good or bad it was. Today is August 5th and I've been tracking since February 19th. I'm a data geek, so I've been using Excel to do this, and every day I've made an entry about what I did or ate the day before that might have affected my weight. I KNEW that in order to know whether what I was doing was working and if I was on the right track, I HAD to digilently track.I can definitely see changes in my photos!! But no matter what I was doing, I would never lose on the scale! My body just seemed to be in an endless recomposition phase -- changes in my physique with nothing but bouncing on the scale!!! It was maddening!!It never EVER occurred to me that the problem WAS my scale!A week ago today, I logged . . . "I've got to do something. This is crazy!" I started at 252.1 on 2/19 and as of last week, I was only at 246.8! How can you be in a deficit, your clothes fitting better, and yet the scale seems to NEVER catch up to the changes in your body?? So I looked at scales and decided on this one. I'm going to say, though . . . I knew it was a risk. There was the possibility that this new scale would read higher than my old one. And it did. But if it was going to be consistent and tell me the TRUTH, even if that meant I start from a higher point, I didn't care.So this is what happened e . . .Wednesday AM, 7/28 -- OLD SCALE: 244.8. Scale came in that afternoon.Thursday AM, 7/29 -- OLD SCALE: 246.8 NEW SCALE: 250.8 (Ouch. But keep reading.)Friday AM, 7/30 -- OLD SCALE: 247.1 (0.3 gain) NEW SCALE: 249 (1.8 lb loss)---This is when I knew I had hit on something. The scales may not match with the same number. And they may not show the same RATE of loss or gain. And both of those are okay. But they should BOTH be going in the same DIRECTION!! Either BOTH UP or BOTH DOWN. This is when I chucked my old scale (11 years old).And here are my further weights on my new scale:Saturday, 7/31 -- 247.2 (1.8 loss)Sunday, 8/1 -- 247.2Monday, 8/2 -- 247.2Tuesday, 8/3 -- 247 (0.2 loss)Wednesday, 8/4 -- 246.6 (0.4 loss)Thursday, 8/5 -- 246.6In the last week, I've lost 4.2 lbs! I haven't seen that much loss in a week's time in . . . I don't know how long. And I've weighed myself at other times of the day and still find the scale consistent unless I've just eaten or drank something. My other scale always varied throughout the day. It's a little heartbreaking to realize that some of the discouragement I've felt has been attributed to a faulty scale. I think I really HAVE been making progress, albeit from a higher point than I thought, but it's the scale that's been driving me bananas.And as a caveat to this, a year or so ago, I tried a different scale from Walmart and found it much worse than my own scale in consistency and took it back. I wasn't looking for a scale to make me feel good. I was looking for a scale that I could TRUST, whether that meant telling me I weighed more than I thought or not.I've fought my weight my ENTIRE life, so I know the mind games and the excuses you try to tell yourself about your scale not working. But I have 3 years of various diaries and weight logs to prove how hard I have been working to change my thinking and my life. At a certain point, something JUST didn't make sense.I've learned to feed myself excuses over the years. Part of my practice of conquering this part of my life has been to make myself face, head-on, my actions and not look for other excuses. Therefore, I categorically rejected the idea that the problem might have something to do with my scale -- because, of course, wouldn't everyone LOVE to think the problem with their weight is the scale and not even consider that the problem could possibly be THEM??? But I've learned through this experience to not discount that possibility. I swung so far to the side of not giving myself excuses anymore that I never entertained the thought of any other factors being an issue BUT myself.Now, don't go looking for a new scale if you're not doing the work to warrant looking for results! But the truth is . . . scales CAN be faulty.

This was delivered the same day I had a doctor's appointment and my weight was taken. When I got home I used it and it was VERY precise down to the "xxx.6" that the doctor's official scale had shown. The platform is a nice sized and of a good quality thick clear glass so it can be innocuous even in a small bathroom. The four feet are skid proof. One has to Follow the Directions to get the precision needed. Place on a flat surface that is not carpeted. Step on the pad, then step off and wait for it to show 00, then get back on. When finished it blinks, when one steps down it holds that number for a few seconds then turns itself off. The numbers are large and backlit with a pleasant blue color. A switch at the back flips the scale weighs to lbs. and kg. It comes with AAA batteries when new. It is sleek and modern looking and. I'm very pleased with it and my sis has already ordered one for herself.

We bought this scale to replace our old one that broke, and it’s been a great purchase! Not only do we use it to track our own weight, but we also use it to weigh our cats (by weighing ourselves while holding them, then subtracting). It’s been surprisingly accurate and super helpful in keeping us accountable with their health and ours.This scale is also way more affordable and practical than buying a dedicated pet scale, and it’s been working really well for our needs. Simple, reliable, and does the job—definitely recommend!

This is by far the most consistent scale I've ever owned, and it doesn't "cheat" by using internal memory like some others sneakily do. I can step on it repeatedly and it will register the exact same weight each time, and yet when I drink a bit of water it will accurately register the expected small weight increase. I do love it, especially for the modest price.Unfortunately after 2.5 years of use the display has started to go bad. Some of the LED segments remain lit when they're not supposed to be, making it virtually impossible to read the numbers. Doesn't seem to be a battery issue. And speaking of batteries, it tolerates Sanyo Eneloop NiMH rechargeables just fine and doesn't complain about the lower voltage.Even though I'm not pleased that it went bad, I came here today to order an exact replacement. And if it goes bad again in another couple years I'll by a 3rd one. That's how much I like it.
