I have been using this scale for a little over a week and so far it has done a great job. The weight appears to be accurate and doesn’t vary much from one weighing to another. I tried it several times in a row (with 2 minute breaks in-between) and got the same exact results! The scale is very compact in size and has a nice, red, easy-to-read display that turns on and off automatically.
Just be aware that this scale does not come with the 9V battery like Amazon claims. In fact, the packaging of this scale says that the battery is not included. When I contacted Amazon about it, however, they gave me a small credit in refund to buy the battery.

I assume it is accurate. I have nothing to check it against so I cannot guarantee it. However I can say its repeatability is excellent, good to 0.1 pounds, and that is what is important as far as monitering weight loss or gain.

My husband requested that I buy a digital scale. I looked at a lot of them and then decided to go with one which didn’t cost so much. This one is working great for us and I really like it.

We have had this scale so long, none of us in the household can remember when or where it was purchased. We do know that it’s been well over 14 years. Unfortunately, it has recently failed on us. However, I will be purchasing the exact same scale and was thrilled to find that Healthometer still makes them. If you want an accurate, long-wearing, sensibly priced bathroom scale, this is the one to purchase.

It does what it’s supposed to do.
So far as I can tell, it’s accurate. I weighed some books on the kitchen scale, put them on this and got the same weight. I weighed myself 2 or 3 times in a row, it gives the same answer each time. I change my weight a bit (remove clothes, drink water) and the displayed weight changes a bit. I mention this because some scales, which display weights to the tenth of a pound, only change the displayed weight when the weight changes by a full pound or two. Fake accuracy is annoying.
The scale is well designed in that it’ll give the same reading even if you’re not perfectly centered on it. I tried putting all my weight on the front or back – it displayed the same weight. Other scales using the same strain gauge tech aren’t as consistent.
I thought it was broken shortly after I started using it. My displayed weight dropped by 20-30 pounds, sometimes I would get the ERR display or a the LO battery warning. Turns out the lid of the battery case had fallen off and the battery, hanging loose, was not strongly connected. Reinserted the battery, snapped the lid back on and there have been no other problems.
I like that it uses a 9v battery. The scale I had before used a watch type CR2032 and it would exhaust that battery in a month or two! I think this scale won’t need a new battery for years.
The reliability bit is an assumption. I’ve only had it a few days – if it breaks down or starts acting wonky I’ll update this review.
