Very attractive, works great

This scale is very attractive with a modern glass design. The blue LED backlight makes the number very easy to see. Of course, you have to put it on an even surface for it to work properly, but you have to do that with any scale. Accuracy is fine. The only negatives I can see is that the shiny glass surface could be slippery if your feet are wet and the fact that the surface will show watermarks are footprints if you aren't completely clean. That doesn't bother me and I think it looks very nice and classy in the bathroom. Much nicer than a cheap plastic scale. I also like the fact that it uses regular batteries and not button batteries like my previous scale did. It is much easier to replace them without searching around for the exact right type of button cell.

UPDATED review

After returning the defective scale I was contacted by the company with an offer to replace the item. I did receive a new scale and it works exactly as it should. I will say that the customer service for the company is great- the followed through to make sure I got the scale and that it worked. I was excited to get this highly-rated scale to replace the one I’ve had for 15 years. It looked great out of the box, but that’s the only compliment I can give. At first, I couldn’t get it to calibrate to zero. I had to tap it hard enough to get the scale to come on at which point it registered the weight of the press rather than resetting to zero. I took the batteries out and but them in which seems to be the equivalent of restarting a computer. At first I thought I had solved the problem, so I proceeded to weigh myself multiple times without moving the scale. None of the weights were the same. I tried with another person, same results. I tried a 5 pound bag of flour and got an error message. I tried forcing a calibration and still had the same results. Too many problems right out of the box. Now I have to figure out how to mail it back when all I have is the absurdly oversized box Amazon shipped it in.

Good Customer Service

Received this on Wednesday. It worked for two days, then the display faded lighter and lighter and now it's Sunday (the 4th day of use, ever), there is no display other than a blue background. Tried new batteries. Tried different surface. Tried everything. Doesn't work. So, it's a completely useless paperweight. We are returning it. What a waste. Update: The seller immediately refunded our money and sent us a new scale free of charge. The new scale works great. It looks like the LED crystals were probably damaged in shipping, which isn't the seller's fault. Glad to see that this seller cares about the end customer experience at any cost.

changing stars to a 5

The scale was great while it lasted. Unfortunately, it died after only a year and seven months. Changed the batteries after they died and the scale never worked after that. Customer service suggested I remove batteries and wait 45 seconds before re-installing to perhaps reset the scale. This didn't work. UPDATE; I received an email from customer service requesting my correct address as they wanted to send me a replacement scale even though mine warranty had expired. WHAT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! How many companies stand up to their product and care about what their customers say?!. I just received my new scale today.

A Beautuful scale! Easy to use & accurate. What more could you want?

We had a digital bathroom scale made by Health O Meter that finally gave up the biscuit. When it did work, in order to use it, you had to tap it to get it to calibrate, then show zero, then step on it to get your weight. It was a plastic bodied scale, not very attractive, and a pain to use. And we thought that’s just the way it had to be. So imagine our surprise when this scale showed up and we unpackaged it and used it for the first time. First off, it’s a beautiful scale (as far as scales can be beautiful). My wife is pretty particular about things in the house, and I ordered this one on my own. She is very pleased with the appearance. It’s a sleek, glass-topped scale with a two-tone color. The numbers light up with a nice blue LED background. As far as ease of use, you can’t get any better here. Just step on the scale and it works. No tapping, no calibrating, nothing. Just the way a scale should work. Lastly, for those reviews that reference it being slippery when wet.....uh.....in my experience, anytime you mix WATER with ELECTRONICS, nothing good happens. Just wait til you’re dry before you put your feet on glass....scale aside. And wait til you’re dry before messing with electronics. Common sense. Oh, and it comes with a warning label...”Slippery when wet”...so there’s that. Lol I did some tests with weights and the scale is dead on, plus or minus 2/10...plenty accurate enough for body weight. Over repeated checks, the scale has remained consistent. This is a great looking scale that is easy to use and accurate. We love it!

Accurate - Affordable - Attractive. So far so good!

Though both my grandmothers' ancient dial scales still work great (I do have to dial them in occasionally as they like to stick at weird numbers when you get off) and I appreciate having been given them, they're bulky and not exactly the nicest things to look at so I finally decided to just give in and get a more modern scale. I didn't want to spend very much though, so the Etekcity caught my eye. I tested it out when I got it, and compared my weight on it to the two other scales I have and the Etekcity was spot on to them on the same level surface in the same part of my house, maybe with a variation of like .2 lbs but as the older scales don't show increments precisely like a digital scale I'm inclined to think it's not so much a variation as it is just being able to properly see the exact weight. I also weighed a few different objects across all three scales and weights remained the same there too. So accuracy is great here. It feels really sturdy, which is important. I know tempered glass is strong and I'm nowhere near the max weight limit but standing on glass still kind of trips me out a little. I have noticed a little wobbling on the scale but my house is very old so it may be an ever so slightly uneven floor issue. I plan to try moving it around the house in a few different spots to see if it gets fully level somewhere else.

Simple and Accurate

I purchased this scale to replace a traditional analog dial scale in our bathroom. While our old scale was accurate and reliable, the dial was very small and hard to read, even in good lighting. The Etekcity scale weighs us nearly exactly the same as our old scale and is very easy to read. Years ago I owned a digital scale that suffered from the "memory" effect - this is where the scale remembers it's most recent measurement and if the next measurement only differs by a small amount, then it will repeat the original measurement rather than read out the new one. I've read that this is by design with cheap digital scales to hide their inaccuracy. So far the EtekCity scale does not suffer from the memory effect at all. I've tested by weighing myself once, and then again while holding a very light object such as a cell phone. In my case this increased the second reading by 0.4 pounds. Overall a great and simple scale, especially considering the price!

My First Amazon Review!

I hesitated to purchase this scale, because some people "dissed" it's accuracy in different locations. The first thing I did when it arrived was to weigh myself in about 973,581 different parts of my apartment. (Okay, perhaps I exaggerate. LOL) I weighed exactly the same every time! (What are these people doing? Snacking between weigh-ins? Putting the scale on top of a sofa?) Someone else complained about water spots. Hmmmmmmmmm. Something on the floor of a bathroom gets water spots? How shocking! :) Another awesome feature of this product is its packaging. The delivery guy literally THREW the package over my railing, and it came crashing down so hard and loudly on the cement ground that my next door came out to ask if I was okay! The scale works perfectly!

Accurate & Inexpensive - My One Year Long Term Review

We have been using this Etekcity digital scale for a year now in our our home are very pleased with the scale so far. We had purchased this scale to replace our previous Sunbeam manual , Spring loaded bathroom scale which was horribly inaccurate and deliberated for a considerable amount of time between this scale and the FitBit Aria smart scale . In the end because of the huge price difference and very positive reviews on this scale made us go with this one Design, Construction & Build ------------------------------------- - The scale is feels heavy for its size mainly due to the thick, monolithic glass sheet stepping surface of the scale - All our fears or cracked or broken glass due to stepping on it frequently, bumping or dropping it were unfounded in the past year ( we did all of them !) , so its definitely sturdy and well built - The two tone black-sliver finish on the scale looks ultra modern and chic - The digital readouts are large and backlit in a pleasant not-too-strong blue which is visible both in light and complete darkness. I often check my weight on the scale during midnight bathroom visits. Long Term Accuracy --------------------------- - When we initially purchased this scale i used a 10 lb Rice bag to measure its accuracy and it was always within 0.2 lb of 10 lb with repeated tests, which is very accurate for a digital scale and well suited for measuring body weight - Another pointer to the accuracy of this scale is that the weight that we got for our toddler son from his pediatrician using a professional balance scale matches the results we got from this scale I tried the same accuracy test today after a whole year of use & abuse: 10 lb Basmati Rice Bag : Scale Measured = 10.4 lb 6lb Dumbbells : Scale Measured = 5.8 lb As you can see that even after one year the scale is fairly accurate , for all I know it might be 100% accurate as well as I have no way of certifying that the 10lb rice bag or the dumbbells are infact their true stated weights. Battery Life ---------------- - The scale is still using the two original AAA that came with the package even after a year of frequent, daily use so I'd say its great! Cons ---------- - About the only con about this scale is that the glass surface, being glass, needs frequent cleaning as it shows water stains. we usually wipe it with a damp cloth once every week so its not too bad. If you are going worry about keeping it spotless always then you'll going to have a hard time :) Overall we are very pleased with our purchase and couple of our family friends have also purchased it after seeing it in our home and can highly recommend this scale if your are looking for a good looking , inexpensive and accurate digital scale.

Sleek and functional

Once you get the scale set up, all you have to do is stand on it, and it will turn on automatically and tell you your weight. It's a very nice, basic, easy to use scale. The screen is easy to read, it's sturdy despite how slim and flat it is, and it's consistent and accurate. If it gets moved or shifted, re-calibrating it is simple. However, the directions say that it shouldn't be stood or sat on for long periods of time when not in use. I think it affects the calibration if you do that, so I've had to cover it with a wooden box to keep my cats from sitting on it. They're very curious about it! It might be a good idea if you have small children or pets to keep it in a shut room, or under something. I've really enjoyed using this scale, and it will definitely be a great tool for maintaining my ideal weight.
