Customer Reviews of My Weigh Elite Series Bathroom Body Weight Scale - 400 lb
Customer Review: Slim, Sexy Scale for Your Slim, Sexy Ambitions!
Summary: 5 Stars
This scale is very reliable and accurate. It always gives me the same, consistent readings, which was a huge improvement over the Tanita Body Fat Scale I had before. There was a couple of minor annoyances I had with the scale. The first is the more important of the annoyances. The second, I consider to be a mixed blessing.
The first minor initial annoyance I had was figuring out how to remove the battery. Because most other appliances don't really have little "teeth" or "prongs" to hold batteries in place (after all, what is the battery compartment lid/cover for?), this can get a tad tricky. You have to push the battery to the left, until the right end of the battery pops out (after you let it go, of course). From there, you can slip the battery out easily. Then, to put the battery back in, you just have to do the reverse. I wish the instructions had mentioned this, so that kind of sucked. You might have to practice a few times to really get the hang of it. But, all in all, I won't let that detract from my rating, as it was simply a short-lived set up annoyance. Besides, now that I got the hang of it, it's not going to be an annoyance anymore.
Second, and as some people have pointed out, you have to be very still for the scale to home in on your weight accurately. Even looking down will cause fluctuations, as that increases or changes the amount of pressure being applied to the scale. It is therefore important to keep looking straight ahead for at least a few seconds (5 or 6 seconds should definitely do the trick, but fewer seconds may do the trick as well), and then the weight should be locked in. I don't consider this to be a total con, however, because I think it simply means that the scale is very accurate.
As for the aesthetics, this scale is super slim and gorgeous on bathroom tiles. It's surprisingly small, too, area-wise. I would highly recommend this scale for anyone interested in getting weight measurements only, as it doesn't have any of the more advanced functions that more expensive scales will provide. (But in the end, I realized I got too lazy to use the more advanced functions of my Tanita, when I just had to look at my weight and the mirror to gauge my progress. Besides, I'm not sure how truly reliable these body fat readings are if the scales need to have a separate athlete mode to determine body fat percentage for athletes. Body fat should be body fat, bone should be bone, muscle should be muscle, and water should be water, right?)
In conclusion, there were a couple of things that made me raise an eyebrow (right brow, to be exact), but they would together cause me to detract perhaps a tenth of a star combined. Overall, though, for the aesthetics, accuracy, and price, this scale's a no-brainer. Five stars all the way (err, I suppose 4.9)!
