In spite of its sophisticated appearance, this glass-top lithium scale from HoMedics is as simple to use as old-fashioned dial models. Designed to turn on when you step on the platform, the scale displays readings in 1-1/2-inch digits on the LCD monitor. Readings take just seconds to register, and are accurate to .1 pounds or .2 kilograms. After you step off the scale, it automatically zeroes out and shuts down until the next use. Simple codes in the display also let you know if the reading was inaccurate and needs to be redone. Built with tempered safety glass, the scale is both stable and strong, though it looks so airy that you might have to talk yourself into standing on it the first time. Capable of holding up to 330 pounds or 150 kilograms, it features a simple switch on the underside to convert readings from one system of measurement to the other. Measuring 12.63 by 12.75 inches, the scale comes complete with a lifetime-use lithium battery, and a one-year warranty from HoMedics. --Emily Bedard


Customer Reviews

Too Repeatable3
I purchased this bath scale two weeks ago and while very attractive, I have my concerns about the scales repeatibility...it is too repeatable. I weighed my self 6 times over the course of 2 days with no one else using the scale in between. The scale indicated that I was the exact(down to the scale's .2# accuracy)same weight each time. Highly unlikely the way I eat.

I then tried the same experiment but first steping on with a 10# weight and letting the scale read, then off, then on again without the weights. Weighing 6 times over the next 2 days showed 6 different weights. As I would have expected.

I'm not sure what is going on but it seems the scale reverts back to the the previous weight if the difference is close. I will be calling their tech support group when I have some time. I've read one or two other reviews on HoMedic digial scales exhibiting the same problem.
