After having two good EatSmart scales (kitchen and bathroom) I decided to buy two of these (one for me and one to replace my roommates scale I broke). My roommates worked perfectly, and still does (although it arrived missing the pad under one of the feet, which was annoying but I don’t think it affected the weight). Mine, however, seemed to work for a couple months and then started giving crazy measurements. I’d step on, 144.4 pounds. Pick up a 2-lb weight and step on again and it was the exact same. step on backwards and it was 147.2. Things that made absolutely no sense! I tried to live with it for a couple months figuring it would generally give me a sense of my weight, but finally got fed up and contacted the company. They sent me another scale that week! I have had the new one for 2 months and have had no problems with it. I’m fairly certain the old scale worked when I got it, but I was in the process of losing weight so I may have just attributed the fluctuating numbers to weight loss when it was an issue with the scale. I’m not sure, but either way I know for sure it wasn’t working after a couple months when I stopped losing weight and could see the scale was all over the place.
I got my scale before they switched to “step-on technology” and I’m so glad I did. The whole reason I got this scale was to replace my EatSmart scale WITH “step-on technology”. I prefer to spend a few seconds calibrating the weight every time I weigh myself, rather than spending 10 seconds calibrating it once and then having the ability to just step on every time after that, so long as you don’t move the scale. I worry the scale has been moved, so I ended up doing the 10 second calibration every time instead of the quick 2-3 second one. I wouldn’t buy it again now that it has “step-on technology” but if thats something you’re looking for, this is a good bed. Solid scale with excellent company support/replacement if it is defective.
