ETEKCITY BODY WEIGHT SCALE: Excellent, accurate, easy to read scale, no mobile app.+added correction
I spent over 2 hours searching for a scale on Amazon before making my final choice which was for the above Etekcity weight scale. I wasn’t interested at all in the mobile phone app that does fat vs. muscle mass and other things, just the best, pure weigh only, weight scale. This scale, I received by carrier, had a simple but elegant look and was extremely easy to read, with very bright white numbers against a black background, as as good as the picture of the scale in the pictures provided by the manufacturer.I also, always check the readers reviews, which in this case were amongst the best of any scales, I had read about, including 93% very satisfied customer reviews (82% 5 Star; 11% 4 star) and only 2% 1 star. Typically, I do not buy items with over 6% negative reviews.Thusly, the 5 star reviews given to this scale, I completely agreed with, shortly after I set it up on marble floor and started using it. This scales most impressive features were the following: a) a very sleek looking on the bedroom, marble floor; b) very easy to set up. Just pull out a small tape to activate the 3 AA batteries; c) a scale large enough to accommodate my two, size 14 feet; and d) found that it needed about 8 seconds, at most, to get a finalized weight reading, consisting of first, an orange or red light, finalized by a green light. These two light signals signify that the scale had finished checking and rechecking the weight before giving it’s final result; and e) the bight light and relatively large letters were extremely easy to read.The most negative review I encountered, was from a customer who said the machine was much too inaccurate, which was pretty much the consensus of some 2% of the overall reviewers, who had given1 star reviews. Most did not define what they meant by inaccurate, but some did. One wrote, for example, that this reviewer had held a 0.3 lb object in hand, and it it did not record this weight change after re-stepping on the scale. I did my own simple tests as to accuracy and achieved a definitely superior result from the above reviewer. I did find one perceived discrepancy, however, on my newly purchased, received scale, compared to what Etekcity wrote in their add– which was, that their scale could measure even small objects placed on the scale down to 100 grams in weight (about 1/4 lb or 4 oz). I tested this advertised feature, by taking a large, heavy 2-3 lb large D200 Nikon camera, and then placing it, on every conceivable part of the scale platform, and found that the scale made no reading, at all, of the 2-3 lb object. I then assumed that the statement that the scale could read small, low weight objects to an accuracy of 0.1 lbs was incorrect. However, further experimentation, after my first review, proved my conclusion was wrong, due to fact that I had missed doing some critical, preliminary steps to verify the advertisers statement. Unfortunately,here was no short 1-2 page user manual supplied with the scale. The was no mention of what I found on further observations, which was the following: 1) if you modestly touch or get on the scale with one foot, the scale will show 2 bright letters (the 2 letters are: HI). HI (Hello perhaps) signifies that the scale is now ready to take a full weight reading. At this point, don’t get on the scale, just deposit your small, low poundage object, such as a camera, or whatever, anywhere on the scale and it will make a reading of it within 8 seconds or less, giving an accurate weight of the small object, thereafter to within 0.1 lbs. Doing these steps, my Nikon D200 camera with telephoto lens, had a weight reading of 2.3 lbs. Other small, low poundage objects can also be measured in the aforementioned way, thus, becoming more than just a body weight scale, but a scale to weigh many objects, if the owner of the scale finds such need(s).My prior experiment, from my first review, was getting onto the scale without my camera in hand, for which the reading was 278.5 lbs. About 15 seconds later I re-weighed myself with camera in hand and got a reading of 280.8 lbs. The camera made a significant change to my weight of +2.3 lbs- same figure as when separately weighed in this later review.In conclusion, this scale is advertised to be used at body weights 400 lbs or below, in order to insure its most reliable, high accuracy range. The machine can also be adjusted from lbs to kilos, in a few seconds, by pressing a button on the underside of the machine, as per their instructions.So, overall, I would rate this Etekcity scale as a 5 Star winner, for those most interested in obtaining their overall body weight, to a very reasonable, high degree of accuracy.

By Far The Best
I purchased 8 different bathroom scales ranging in price from $25 to $89. This scale was by far the best in these categories:1. Best on uneven surfaces (although the most reliable results are on level surfaces).2. Repeatable results: multiple readings do not vary.3. Measures .5 lb.changes. Ex: if I remove my .5 lb. t-shirt, the reading will display .5 lb. less than with the shirt. No other scale displayed this level of sensitivity.This is a great , basic scale.

Beautiful, simple, accurate and consistent.
Edit – this scale is very unreliable on my seemingly even ceramic tile floor – by at least a pound depending in where I put it, a matter of inches difference. I’ve set it on the vinyl plank floor outside the door and it’s consistent anywhere on that flooring. Awkward but I still like the scale.Original: I spent a long time trying to find just a good quality, consistent, accurate, solid, affordable and simple weight scale without all the ridiculous, complicated gimmicks. I’m so pleased with this one. It’s: 1. Really beautiful – minimalistic sleek tinted glass. 2. Big enough to comfortably stand on, not too heavy or flimsy. 3. Comes with batteries installed, just pull a little tape to activate batteries and stand on it. Nothing else to do. No manual or tedious set up. No fakey biometric panels. 4. You don’t have to tap it, and it calibrates anew each time. 5. Nice bright numbers, very easy to read. 6. It’s consistent (my old one would vary at 5 minute intervals) and accurate (I weighed some weight-labeled foodstuffs Spot on.). It’s a quality looking build. Feels more expensive than it is. I can’t speak to longevity – if there’s an issue up the road I’ll edit it in. But reviews on that look good. A *very* satisfying purchase.

Right On !
Excellent scale right out of the box, worked like a charm! Sturdy, batteries already in place, large platform to stand on and best of all it gives accurate weight. Thin, sleek design, and large easy to read numbers.

My experience with this company has been exceptional. The product gives very consistent results and it’s very convenient to use. Allowing to sync with the app keeps track of my progress. If you run into any issues, their customer service department is exceptionally good and they will help you until you are satisfied with the product

Even including exchange and extra shipping, this scale costs less than half at Amazon.com. It is $47 U.S., so $63 Canadian including shipping, versus $115 on .ca. I am getting tired of being ripped off by Amazon for shopping in Canada, and it is getting worse, when the goods come from exactly the same place. Was tempted to return it and order it from .com, but it is my fault for not checking first, so I kept it.The good part is, the scale works well, looks good. Seems to be accurate. Weight is not fully repeatable if you weigh yourself a few minutes apart, can vary up to 2 or 3 pounds. So far, unless you go for a beam scale, have not found on of this type that are accurately repeatable. Nice part is it will weigh light items so now have a pretty good scale for getting weight on packages I am mailing.

Excellent built quality and feel.The mobile app is easy to install, and provides all the required health metrics needed for a fitness freak to be aware of.the display is super bright yet easy on eyes.It has the capability to set different profiles and data for multiple users in a family.Battery usage is excellent.Very happy with the product. Definitely recommended.
