Very consistent scale

Very easy to set up & very consistent in weights. With my old digital scale I could get right back on it & it would vary by 3 pounds, not this new one. Wish I had bought one years ago. Highly recommend..

High quality tool!

We bought this instead of yet another typical bathroom scale. Let's see the kids pull the sticker off of this! This is a NICE piece of gear, assembled by my son, and accurate out of the box. I can see the difference before/after a glass of water. It's well built, and should last a lifetime. Just like the doctor's scale, so there's no more surprises going into the clinic. No wonder people's blood pressure is higher at the Dr's office. Sudden Instant Weight Gain Syndrome! SIWGS!
Buy this, you'll be glad you did.

Great Scale and Improved Height Bar

The scale is super accurate. It will be nice to know my actual weight as opposed to "about" how much I weigh by stepping on and off of my old scale 5 or 6 times.

The height bar on mine is steel (arrived today 8/22/2008), so maybe all of the new ones will be steel.

One problem mine did have is that the top cap on the height bar was broken off, which made the height bar unusable (the bar assembly would just slide out of the rail.) The cap was put on with rivets that must have snapped in shipment, as the part was loose in the box. I was able to cut down some small bolts to reattach the cap and we are all good now, but this could have been a problem for someone who would not be willing or able to do a repair like that and really wanted the height function. I would assume this was an isolated problem unless more people are having it in the future.

Even with that I still give the scale a 5, as the scale is a great value and I would have taken it with no height bar at all anyway.

Consistent & accurate

This product arrived as expected. Instructions were easy to follow, although there was a minor inconsistency. Also, had a little trouble locating the tool needed to tighten the screws (comes with the scale). The scale works as advertised. I use it every day (sometimes twice). Much more accurate (or should I say consistent) than the standard bathroom scales. I would weigh myself on the strain-gauge bathroom scale and there was just too much variance.

Disappointed with Condition after shipping

Regarding the product itself, it is all that I expected it to be. It works fine (Except that it indicates that Im too short for my weight! LOL)

However, on a serious note, I was disappointed with the condition of it when it arrived. The shipping box had no visible signs of damage, and the packing material inside the box that forms around the product was intact and undamaged. Regardless, there was a dent in the column half way up and one of the mounting bolts that attach the column to the base was bent in such a fashion that I could not attach it.

For practical purposes, I simply repaired the displaced bolt with a pair of plyers. The dent half way up the column is a cosmetic thing I will have to live with. It is annoying to purchase something new and have it arrive blemished.
