Weight Watchers WW34 Glass Precision Electronic Scale

Recently returned from a visit to our daughter in England, who has the advanced "Cadillac" version of this scale: body fat, etc. We were so taken with it that we ordered this "Chevy" model. We only needed the simple weigh-in feature. For this it is perfect. We also like the looks of it, as it blends in wherever we put it.

This scale was a major disappointment. I was excited to order this scale, especially being a Weight Watchers member-- hoping to watch my progress at home.

First, the scale weighed me fairly accurately when i stepped on it for the first time (it was around +0.5lbs). I stepped on a second time and it weighed me +2lbs. I stepped on a third time, it then read +4lbs! And yes, a fourth time showed my weight +8.5lbs!! All 4 weigh ins were done in the same half hour, with no food or drink to vary my weight.

I then asked my husband to step on the scale and weigh himself-- and it sent up a "error" screen every single time he attempted to weigh himself. He weighs around 275lb, and has weighed that consistently for a number of years. I was VERY disappointed because this scale was supposed to be able to weigh up to 330lbs-- hence, why i got it!

Thankfully, Amazon excepted my return easily... but it is making me think twice about ordering a weight watchers scale.

It's a good scale overall. Gives consistent readings, and is easy to use. Looks nice. Stopped working after using for a few months though, and I'm not fat or anything. Going to try to send it back and get a new one.

Over the years, my family has purchased three bathroom scales that never consistently told us our correct weights. It was extremely frustrating to step on a scale one minute and see a weight and then step on the same scale the next minute and see a weight that was completely different. I wanted to accurately track my progress as I was getting healthy, so I needed a scale that would be dependable and would not make me angry and upset. This scale has not dissapointed me yet because, as opposed to the other scales that I've used, the readings are consistent, it is well constructed, and it matches any bathroom decor because of its predominantly clear base. I have made an investment in my house and an investment in my life by purchasing this aesthetically pleasing and dependable scale.

Great design aesthetically, and good price but not a precision instrument by any means. If I step on the scale four successive times I'll get at least three different weights. They won't vary by much, perhaps a half pound, but enough to put a damper on my enthusiasm. If you want an ocasional pretty good estimate of your weight it's adequate. If you are on Weight Watchers and eager to track even fractional losses/gains it doesn't do the job. It's a paradox that it bears the WW name. Of course, if you step on it once a week and take the reading as gospel you can go along fat (or thin) dumb and happy. Not a scale for anal compulsives.
