Weight Watchers Conair Compact Precision Electronic Scale, Black 1 ea

A few things you'll want to know before buying this product:

1) Some people have been commenting that it sometimes doesn't come on by tapping it. I had some annoyance with this for a while as well. Eventually I learned that moving it an inch or two across the floor is a more reliable method of turning it on (I just push it with my foot, then move it back when I am done).
2) Yes, it is smallish. As a person with size 6 feet, I don't find this to be an issue, but be forewarned.
3) Yes, it is only accurate within .5 pounds.
4) Sometimes I wonder just how accurate it is. But I figure my weight probably fluctuates as much as a pound or so between just-woke-up-stomach-empty-hungry-as-a-lion and just-ate-dinner-pleasantly-full. I was weighed at the doctor's office a while ago and the weight there was within a pound of what I'd weighed myself at the day before, so I don't think that's an issue.

I've had this scale for over a year now and still like it. Works great, easy to move out of the way without picking it up. Very durable.

I read the reviews and was skeptical but was looking for a smaller scale with narrow width to fit between the toilet & bathtub in our small bathroom and this was the ONLY one I could find that was below $50!! It's great for small bathrooms and has large readable display. It's lightweight & easily transportable. I'd recommend for smaller people, although it reads up to 300lbs, I would think it might be a bit more difficult for bigger framed people. It isn't as study as my previous Taylor scale (which is why I gave 4 stars). It also requires a couple of taps with your foot to have the display turn on and it HAS to be set to zero before it will give accurate weight. If you're looking for a small, lightweight scale to step on-check your weight (it's accurate) and then get on with your day, this is perfect. But if you want to step on a scale a few times & take the lowest number it shows - this probably isn't for you since it takes a few seconds to turn off & then you have to tap to reset!

Of course, as do all of my orders from Drugstore.com, this arrive promptly!

The things I didn't love from day one were that this scale is small and I can barely put my size 9 feet on it! Sometimes it did not work by merely, "tapping" on it - I had to move it around to get the O reading to come up. After two weeks it did not work, getting an "Error" read-out.
At this point I am P.O.'d and raging mad. I'm going to toss it. Oh, and, you might want to know, I only weigh 130 lbs. so it's not like I broke it because of that thing.

DO NOT BUY IT!

I weighted myself 4 times in a row just because it kept on changing how much I weighted.
Reliable only at 50%. But for the price, not surprised. Also, it is too small and narrow. My feet are a size 8 1/2 and they almost go over on both sides.

I was not too pleased with this product. It's very small and cheap feeling. Additionally, it does not work on carpeted areas for whatever reason so I have to keep a textbook under mine. I suppose if one wanted a compact scale for the bathroom this would be ok.

I got this product not only for price but for the appearance as well. Although it does look exactly as it does on the web page, it is not as sturdy as one would think. When i received it, it seemed lighter than any scale I've ever had but thought nothing of it. The first time I went to use it, I stepped on the left hand corner to zero it as it said in the instructions and it didnt turn on. I kept pressing on it and no luck, so i tried stepping on other parts of the scale and it finally turned on. It is really cheaply made and does not work as it is supposed to. Eventually the scale turns on, which I still have no idea what makes it turn on, and it does work but only after trying to get it turn on a couple of times. I guess you get what you pay for. Very disappointed.

won't shatter like the glass scales do very easily

I wanted a scale that was accurate yet would not take up too much space in my bathroom and this one hits the spot. This scale is perfect for me as it is important that I track my weight on a daily basis.

Some of the reviews say they have to tediously tap away when using it but thankfully I haven't had that experience.

Great Product.

I know some of the other reviewers complained that it took too many "taps" to wake it up. I agree that tapping with your foot does not always work, so I have learned to just bend over and tap it once with your hand, which works perfectly every time. It seems to vary in weights shown, but I am not weighing myself with anything else each day so perhaps my weight just varies. I was looking for a cheap and compact scale, this definitely fits the bill. Gave it 3 stars because its not some amazing thing, but it works for what it needs to do.
