Customer Reviews of DETECTO 337 Eye-Level Hospital - Physician - Doctor Scale (400 lb x 4 oz Capacity)
Customer Review: best scale purchased
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased SEVERAL scales in my lifetime and I have finally found one that WORKS and IS EASY TO USE. Worth the $ and the shipping cost :)Customer Review: VERY happy with this scale
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted a scale that would finally be an accurate measure of weight and after reviewing many balance scales on Amazon, decided on this one. I've had it now for about 6 or 7 months and it performs beautifully. I've checked it against the scales at the gym and doctors' office and it weighs perfectly. We don't really have a lot of space for it so it's sitting behind a door in the bathroom. We unfortunately kept forgetting it was there when we first bought it and kept hitting it with the door as we went in and out. Thankfully, the scale is sturdy enough to take the hits without hurting the mechanisms at all, and still works perfectly. I'm VERY happy with it.
So why didn't it get 5 stars? Well, the numbers on the beam are so small I can't see them when I'm weighing myself. They could make this better. I have to get off and stand back to see the weight. From looking at the scale it doesn't seem that making them this small was necessary to fit all the numbers on.
I definitely can recommend this scale to others. The price was good and the scale is great.
Customer Review: Assembly problem
Summary: 4 Stars
This product comes in 2 parts held together with 4 screws. Unfortunately, one of the screw holes was not threaded and I had to tap it out with a 1/4-20 tap. I suppose someone got distracted on the assembly line. I don't think many people would have a tap set on hand to fix this themselves. I suppose I would have simply had to leave one screw off if I didn't cut the threads in the hole. Once I got it together, it worked fine. I prefer digital scales, but home digital scales just don't seem to last more than 6 months. This balance bar scale should last forever.Customer Review: Exactly what I was looking for!
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this scale just last week, and I am happy to report that it is everything I expected. I was sick of spending money on expensive digital (inconsistent) models, that stopped working after only a year or so of use. This unit provides consistent readings at eye level. It was simple to complete assembly of the two main pieces shipped in the box, and was simple to balance (and rebalance as necessary if the scale is moved).Customer Review: Horrible shape when it arrived
Summary: 2 Stars
The good thing about the shipping was it was fast... other than that...
The column of the scale was pretty badly mangled when it arrived. The draft rod was bowed and rammed into the assembly of the balance arm. A few of the metal parts of the weighing mechanism seemed at odd angles and pretty torqued. A call to customer service wasn't answered so I tried to figure out how to fix it but ended up just horsing on it with pliers until it broke loose. The screw holes didn't quite match up (before the horsing too). I'm not sure if it could pass a US Standards and Measures inspection right now, but it appears to be functioning with unknown accuracy. I'll try to email to find out but I'm not expecting much help. It also had a slip that said it passed inspection by two individuals. I'm not sure how they inspect their product but it obviously didn't include making sure the balance arm/dectector rod moved freely. I don't think I would buy anything from this company again since I feel they goofed up the product by packaging. It must have taken lots of pressure to ram the rod into the assembly that deeply.
