Customer Reviews of Taylor 7206 "Cal-Max" Digital Scale with Calorie CountingCustomer Review: Works Perfectly For Me Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this digital scale on clearance (because it was an open package, and was obviously a returned item). The batteries and instructions were missing. I had batteries like this at home and I thought I could easily find an instruction manual on the web. In my search, I found this Amazon Opinion website and read these opinions. Ooops! Most of these were negative. I then thought that I had just wasted my money. I should have read these opinions BEFORE I bought the scale. However, I'm now stuck with the scale and I continued to search for directions.
Yes, it's true, that the [...] website doesn't have the manual for this particular model, but it DOES have the manual for the improved "Biggest Loser" Cal-Max scale. I read that and found that that my scale looks different, but operates nearly the same. The only difference I noted was that the new scale looked more luxurious and it had 10 memories instead of just 4. So, I read the directions entirely, and initialized my scale as it described, and it works perfectly for me every time. I'm very pleased with my purchase!
I weigh 154.4 lbs. and about 90% of the time, it displays this same weight within a small fraction of a lb. However, once in a while, it will stray a little from this.
From experimentation, I have found that you should give the scale a chance to calibrate itself properly. First place just a little weight on the scale to turn it on and then let it display 0.0 LBS. THEN stand on the center of the scale with your weight distributed as close to the center of your feet as you can, and then remain still. It works for me perfectly every time.
I am not heavy, so I can't test this theory, but I am suspecting that HEAVY people are having problems because they are much more "extended" in the middle. In other words, they must bend forward, so that they can then see the digital display over their extended belly. This unevenly distributes their weight on the balls of their feet and then onto the forward side of the scale. Furthermore, since they're having to balance themself in this precarious position, they are wiggling more than normal. Heavier people, try this: Weigh yourself as I have described in the previous paragraph (calibrate, center & still) and then have SOMEONE ELSE read the digital output for you. I'll bet this works much better.
I like my scale -- and I got it at a deep discount.
