Eat Smart Digital Bathroom Scale with Extra Large Easy to Read Lighted Display, Weight Tracking, Includes Body Tape, Grey and Clear

Rec'd 5/14/2013 today. Model ESBS-01/2013 Version. With this new updated-corrected version, tap once on scale, ONLY 0.0 stays on few seconds while calibrating--then screen goes dark. NOW, ready to weigh yourself. Whenever scale is moved, do the tap-0.0-calibrate again--weigh yourself after that. (also have Taylor digital from K-Mart, using 9 volt battery, that reads each next 1/2 pound.) CON: EatSmart came with four DEAD "aaa" HEAVY DUTY TRIAL ONLY BATTERIES-not even alkalines ! Disgraceful, EatSmart - How can an upscale company like yourself with basic to expensive scales, just throw in junk batteries? / Like kids' battery operated Xmas gifts--batteries not included, and nobody bought extras. / Compared scale readings between scales, which are between 1/2-1 pound apart at the most-Taylor same price. Checked for memory improperly resetting itself, by just giving last weight again, if less than 2-5 pound change, as reviews discuss. If I weigh 200 pounds, then grab 2 pound weight--I should be at 202...NOT 200 again, as reviews seem to say. I DO NOT find this problem. SO FAR - get consistent personal weight within 1 pound and I'm not moving scale. Moving scale makes no difference if you just reset to 0.0 /Temperature appears to affect readings on both electronic scales the same--1-2 pounds lower when colder by 10-20 degrees. After calling Taylor, they said how to fix my error weights, by a not-in-the-book resetting procedure-that worked. They also said their scale is affected slightly by temperature. SO, truthfully, ANY scale basically gives your weights over a period of time, so you finally will see a pattern of weight gain or loss--seeing a very accurate and consistent DAILY change, you might not notice. Taylor now my backup, because it's few years older, and the EatSmart is quite updated. Glad both working, but only bought EatSmart because Taylor got the errors problem. EatSmart screen remains dark 1 in 30+ times, but just the 1st weight attempt--lightly step on it the same every time. Blue numbers easy to read in bright conditions--better than the red digit Taylor. First sight of tempered glass platform made me think---ME, step on glass to get weight---eeek---LOL. The 4 aaa batteries much better than those old type 9 volt batteries that even cost more. 400 pound scale limit too high, as a smaller range would give better accuracy....be it a thermometer or any measuring device. Buy this bottom of the line EatSmart, but be sure you have 4 new aaa batteries within grasp ! Seems they have updated to correct problems listed in amazon reviews. with this 2013 version. It's true, once 0.0 calibrated and not moved, just step on it---I say this EatSmart is weigh-in accurate. I take away 1 star because of company supplying dead batteries. Weigh at same time of day, every weighing. UPDATE 6/13/2013 - working very good--reads same as my other scale, basically. ---UPDATE 8/5/2013 - My old Taylor shows error too often now, so retired it--but does still eventually show a correct reading ! My EatSmart excellent and no battery problem. The 9volt Taylor battery was always going dead every month or so. Surely, this is the pick of the best at Amazon, still. UPDATE UPDATE .... Works Great......but, seems to think I'm gaining weight----naw, can't really be......AND TO TOP OFF THINGS - my waist tape measure says my waist is bigger ! UPDATE 6/27/2014 -- Scale has been showing less weight and a new tape measure shows a smaller waist measurement, SO don't know why it used to pick on me, showing more weight...lol. ANYWAY....scale works like new, still. Knowing if my weight is going up or down a small amount, is more important than the actual weight....readings are accurate in small degrees. / I'd like to say, this scale SHOULD BE rated at 4 stars.... because it came with dead battery ! UPDATE UPDATE 2/2/2017 ---- 3 1/2 years later, works like new

Its been nearly nine years (September, 2017) since I purchased this scale for the first time, and it's finally died (after a long and illustrious life of measuring my weight). So, I decided to buy another of the same model given that it worked so well and was inexpensive. I've had great experience with "Eat Smart," with this scale and with their digital Kitchen scale. I'm pretty amazed at the quality of their product. Thanks! Apparently, I didn't write a review when I first got the scale. My bad. I'm glad to fix that oversight now. The scale is very accurate, to two tenths of a pound. If I weight myself, step off the scale and step back on the same weight comes back up. The display is very easy to read. The scale is made rock solid with a thick plate of tempered glass to stand on.

With over 4,000 reviews on this product, there is nothing I can say that has not already been said, but I will simply echo the opinion of other reviewers here to say that this is a great, quality scale. For over ten years I used various other digital scales with middle success. I had pretty much resigned to just basing my weight off of what the scale said, and knowing that was a ballpark, and my "true weight" was within 4 or 5 pounds. As long as I didn't move the scale and always used it at the same time, I was okay with that. Now, I am very obsessed with weight and fitness. I like knowing exactly how much my weight has changed from day to day. If I go on a long run, I like to know exactly how much weight I have lost, which gives me an indication of how much fluid I need to drink to replace the water I sweated out. With the EatSmart Precision scale, I finally have that option. The number one reason to purchase this scale is the accuracy. I performed several tests when I received the scale, which involved weighing dumbbells multiple times, and moving the scale to different areas of my house. Every time, the scale gave me the exact weight of the dumbbell. I could never get these kind of results with my previous digital scale. A 35lb weight weighs exactly 35 lbs. The other advantages to this scale are that you don't have to tap it to activate it before stepping on. All you do is step on it and you have a reading within about 3 seconds. It does require that you calibrate it every time you move it, but that is very easy to do, since you just tap it to calibrate it. It takes a few seconds to read zero weight, then it is ready to use. The display is very large and bright, so you don't have to strain your eyes or bend down to read it. It has a glass base that is attractive and looks nice in any room. Lastly, it provides measurements in .2 lb increments, so you can get very accurate results. When you add on the very affordable price, there is really no reason to consider any other basic scale over the EatSmart Precision.

Si lo que quieres es una bascula bonita, funcional y que no estorbe mucho no busques más. Esta la compre por que está rankeada como una de las mejores, diseño sencillo y sin funciones adicionales, sólo te paras en ella y te da tu peso en un display de muy buen tamaño. La báscula se re calibra de forma autonoma, he hecho comparaciones con pesas de 2kg y la medición de peso siempre es acertada.

Slightly too expensive for comparative products in the market

I had a digital scale previously which was heavy, unreliable and challenging to read. The Eat Smart Precision Digital bathroom scale was delivered very quickly via Amazon Canada with standard shipping, arrived in perfect condition, was very easy to calibrate and has provided accurate and consistent results. The look is clean, modern and of particularly good quality in the price range, and the display is easy to read. Eat Smart's company's customer service is impressive - there was a plastic object included with the order which baffled me at first, and after I emailed to enquire I heard back from the VP within hours. He explained that the object is a tape measure designed to take body measurements easily, as illustrated by a video regarding a similar product which he included a link for. While this promotional free item may not be included in all future orders, I appreciated the unusually rapid and helpful response to my email.

Easy to use, incredibly accurate, and bright clear digital display. This scale is awesome. I use it daily. I prefer pounds, but it can also be set to kilograms and "stone." Who in the world uses stone though? What a ridiculous unit of measurement. Anyway. Buy this scale for the pounds and kilos. It's great! Highly recommended!
