Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm more than satisfied with this scale.I was concerned that I would have to buy a more expensive scale to get good accuracy (see reviews of other digital scales in this price range,) but I've tested it several times over several days, and my weight varies by 2 pounds or less over the course of the day.My first weigh-in of the day is pretty much the same as previous mornings, sadly.
The neutral color (grey) and glass would blend in well with just about any decor, and the LCD screen is easy to read, with 1.5 inch high numbers.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it creaks quite a lot when I step on it, even though I'm nowhere near its 330 pound maximum load.That problem is in my head more than in the scale: I don't think it's going to break, but it sounds like I've got two people standing on it at once--I'm not THAT fat, am I?
An added feature is that when I'm craving, I go into the bathroom and look at it, and know that it isn't going to fall for any of my excuses tomorrow morning.So the last piece of cake still sits in the fridge.The scale has intimidated me into not eating it.
Accurate, easy to read, easy on the eyes, and intimidating--I think it's a good deal.
7/12/2008 update: Two years after I bought this scale, I like it as much as I did when I first got it.
In fact, today I realized my mother needs a scale, and I bought this one for her.I threw in a Sudoku book and got free shipping.And I look like a very thoughtful daughter.;^)
But I got her this scale because I know that, even with her no longer perfect eyesight, she'll be able to read the numbers.And I know that after two years of daily use, this scale is still accurate.

Easier to read than old-fashioned dial scales, this scale takes the guesswork out of reading your weight by clearly displaying your information on a large LCD.

Functional, Streamlined Design Simplifies Your Life Unlike old dial scales with tiny, difficult to decipher indexes, the HDL820KD has a 1.3-inch LCD and clear digital numerals that make reading your weight easy.
The scale itself has a slim design with a silver-tone platform and elegant transparent glass accents. Complementing any home decor, the scale is both striking and conveniently sized. It measures 13.4 x 12.7 x 2.7 inches and weighs 4.2 pounds, meaning that unlike bulky, unsightly dial scales, you will never need to store it away. With your scale in view, you will be more likely to measure your progress and reach your weight goals.
This unit runs on one long-life lithium battery (included). Replacing the battery is easy, and a digital readout lets you know when your battery life is low. And for peace of mind, the HDL820KD is covered by a five-year limited warranty.
Precise Measuring Capability for Accurate Results The Health o Meter Digital Scale accurately measures weight in .2-pound increments up to 330 pounds. Such precise measurement makes reaching your weight goals easier, because it means you can learn to understand your weight variation patterns and track how your body responds to different foods, habits, and exercise.
When setting weight objectives for yourself, it is important to have an accurate starting point so you can correctly measure your results. Older bathroom scales featuring a spring action can become inaccurate as the mechanism wears out, meaning that your weight may be off by several pounds each time you step on the scale. The HDL820KD eliminates this problem by "zeroing out"--calibrating itself to begin precisely at zero for better accuracy and, ultimately, better weight control.
Before each weighing, use your foot to gently tap on the lower corner of the scale to calibrate. Once the scale has zeroed out, step on--your weight will be displayed in a matter of seconds. Your weight will continue to be visible for a short time until the LCD turns off automatically.
The Importance of Regular Weight Monitoring to a Healthy Lifestyle Research has shown that people who regularly weigh themselves lose more weight and prevent more weight gain than people who weigh themselves infrequently. This is because weighing yourself more often can help you recognize your body's patterns of weight gain and loss and can help you modify your lifestyle before your weight becomes difficult to control.
Regular weight monitoring will help you learn about how your body responds to different foods, eating habits, and exercise. That means you can learn to understand your weight variation patterns so you won't get discouraged and halt your weight management progress. Also, frequent weighing will fuel your motivation for reaching your weight goals, keeping you on track and encouraged along the way.
