My Weigh Elite Series Bathroom Body Weight Scale - 400 lb

I just got this scale to replace an older digital scale that broke, and I'm very impressed.

To weigh yourself, you step on the scale, wait about 3-4 seconds for the scale to stabilize, and look at the reading. The weight is easy to read -- large numerals with a backlight. The only drawback of the backlight is that it will increase battery usage. You have a choice of units -- pounds, kilograms, or stones.

The scale itself is very sleek and low profile. It's 11.8 inches (width) x 11.7 inches. Some scales (both digital and analog) make a clunking sound as you step on, but this is totally silent.

Some digital scales have a "fake repeatability." That is, if you weigh yourself, and then hold a small weight and step on again, it gives exactly the same value. This scale doesn't have this undesirable feature. If you hold a small weight, it gives an honest... Read more

Just bought this scale & am already packing it back up to return to Amazon for a refund.

I unpacked it, removed the battery strip, set it to pounds & tried it out as soon as UPS delivered it.

When I added 6lbs the My Weigh showed a number 4lbs less than the original number.

If a scale cannot accurately gauge the difference of adding or... Read more

We really like this scale. One of the factors that we wanted is a back lit LCD display. Not only is it well back lit but the numbers are easy for me to read even without my glasses. I agree with the other reviews I've read on the scale's functionality, accuracy, etc. Our only complaint is that our previous scales would work in our carpeted bathroom. The old scale had a hard clear plastic board between the scale and the carpet. The new scale would not function with even the minor softness of the set up. We've now moved it to a tile floor and it works fine.
