Customer Reviews of Taylor 1350J Large Profile Mechanical Scale in Chrome
Customer Review: Waste of money!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this scale based on the Taylor reputation and the large readable dial on the scale. My first impression upon opening the package was that it was light weight - not a good sign of something you are going to put all your weight on. I placed it on a thin throw rug (where I always placed my old scale) and it gave a very inaccurate rating of 120 lbs (I weigh 270). I then placed it on the hardwood floor and again I got a reading first at 120, then 140 and then over 200, then back to 120, etc. I figured it out that depending on what part of the scale my center of gravity fell, I got a different reading. The highest it read was 240. At this point, I had my wife stand on the thing. It showed she weighed around 60 lbs and then she had the same kind of reading swings - none of them near her weight of 125 lbs.
I rechecked the instruction to make sure I did everything correct - I thought just take it out of the box, place on firm surface, zero the meter, and stand on it. This is how all other scales worked. There's was a little different -stand on, stand off, repeat several times, and then zero. I did this and repeated the same results as before. I took it back and got a refund.
This product has a scale that goes to 300 lbs so I don't think I was overstressing it (close but not quite). The surface had a very flimsy feel, you could feel the metal flexing as you stepped on and shifted your weight - probably the reason for the wildly swinging readings. This unit is definitely junk and not worth the money you pay. "You get what you pay for" doesn't even apply. I expected at least a consistent - if erroneous - reading while standing still on the scale. What I got was a needle on the dial dancing around like one on a stereo VU meter (my apologies and sympathies to those too young to know what that means - you missed some great quality equipment).
Customer Review: don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
i found this scale to be very hard to read, even with the large dial, if you aren't right on one of the numerals, and very inaccurate. i just went to the doctor yesterday and found out that i weigh 7 lbs less than the taylor was telling me. if you get off and on several times you will see that it reads something different every time.
i wouldn't buy this if i were you. i see there are good and bad reviews. too iffy in my estimation.
amazon made me give it a star before it would accept my reveiw, otherwise i wouldn't even give it one. it's useless to me.
Customer Review: Hard to Read Dial
Summary: 1 Stars
If you notice in the picture of this scale, the individual pound markings are hard to see. That is exactly how it is in real life. Because the lines are almost the same length, it is almost impossible to distinguish whether the reading is at, for example, 107 lbs., 107.5 lbs. or 108 lbs. My glasses prescription gives me better than 20/20 vision and I can't see if I have lost or gained a pound with this scale.Customer Review: Not at all accurate
Summary: 1 Stars
This scale gives a different reading every time you step on it- even if you step on and off within a matter of seconds. It can fluctuate up to 5lbs within minutes. When I weigh my children on it, it can be as much as 20 pounds off, telling me that my 7 year old weighs 20lbs. I use this scale on a flat hard floor. It is completely useless.
