Customer Reviews: Accurate, inexpensive, utilitarianJanuary 28, 2008 Dina Ferina 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I think the price point is good for a scale that also measure body mass index. Not the most attractive thing on earth but I don't really keep my scale out and display it in my bathroom anyway. It looks like what it is intended to be -- a scale -- and that's fine by me. I don't keep it out because it tempts me and my guests to think about weight every time we are using the bathroom. This can make one feel sh-tty as one is actually sh-tting. I take it out from under my sink once a week and weigh myself and I have found it pretty much matches the weight represented on the scale at the gym. My husband says the body mass index works well though I don't use the feature myself and can't attest to its accuracy and I don't know how he knows what accurate is since he's never had his measured by a professional body mass index weigher (doctor, trainer?)). The number display is large and bright. My feet are big and I have to point them outward to fit them on the scale but I see this as a good thing as it forces me to step the same way each time I get on (for consistency's sake). I am only five pounds more than I want to be but for those who are quite large, I think this scale would be a good buy because it goes up to 350 pounds (sorry for those over that weight; scales should be made to host larger people who need them the most!). I also find it weird that scales are not a little longer for those people who are larger. It would seem to me it would be very hard for a larger person to see their weight and I say this seriously. Scales should be made longer so that heavy people don't have to contort themselves to see their weight. Anyway, enough of my rant: don't get obsessed with weighing yourself; you're beautiful regardless of the number!
Taylor scales are inaccurate- they give you vanity weightMay 16, 2008 Karin L. Wilcox(Fort Wayne, IN United States) I have a similar scale the 5703s thats a BMI scale from Taylor as well I was questioning it when I got on it and it was about 25lbs less than what I weighed at my dr's less than a month ago...I WANTED to believe yea thats what I REALLY weigh but I knew better so I did some testing. Used standardized 5lb weights, and 25lb weight...Items I KNOW they are weighting 5 and 25 lbs what I found out was this for every FIVE lbs you PUT on the scale it subtracts .5lb so i put 5 lbs on it reads 4.5lbs put 25 lbs on it reads 22.5 by using those figures...and adjusting what it TOLD me i weight I was RIGHT at what i weighed at the dr's office after I account for the missing .5lb for every 5 lbs of my true body weight.
I called and told the company this but they really dont seem to care.
