Product Reviews of Escali High-Capacity Bathroom Scale with Body Fat/Body Water Monitoring (440lb / 200kg)
Product Review: A Good Scale for the large person
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd hit my all time low when my regular old scale suddenly couldn't show me what I was weighing anymore with a big E. I'd not thought of looking for a 'super size' scale but after getting fed up with it and wanting to make some changes I looked for this.
I use it only as a scale, the extra features for me were just kinda there. They are not easy to access for someone who needs to use this kind of scale and not really intuitive. I already know I'm huge and the BMI is awful so until I get a lot lower in weight I don't really care. Because these buttons are so hard to reach though I won't give this a five star review. They're across the top under the lip. So if you put the scale near a wall you can't reach them at all without moving the thing around. How hard would it have been to put the activators where you toes would be so you could tap it, get on, be done?
Good news is I was only about 8 lbs over the max, not 30 or 40 like I felt. Either way it helped me make a change in my life and the numbers have been going down.
Product Review: A Ok Scale For The Price
Summary: 4 Stars
The scale tends to be about 2 to 3 pounds off but other then that is a pretty good scale, does not go to a random number each time it stays accurate !Product Review: A good scale, but there is NOT an athlete mode for Body Fat
Summary: 4 Stars
As a scale, I give this product 5 stars. It gives me accurate and consistent readings every time. I went with a high capacity scale as I've got size 14 feet that dangle over the sides of most commercial scales giving me inaccurate readings. The large surface area of this scale has made that a non-issue and I've been very please with the product in that regard.
As a body fat analyzer, this product did not live up to my expectations. I was displeased to find this product does not in fact have an Athlete setting for body fat measurements as is claimed in Amazon's description of the product. As a lifelong weightlifter I have always found body fat analyzers very inaccurate due to my increased muscle mass. I thought this product would be able to provide me with accurate body fat measurements by way of having a setting specifically for athletes. Unfortunately that has not been the case as the scale routinely advises me I have approximately 35% body fat which is in direct conflict with caliper & hydrostatic testing that has put me at around 20% body fat.
I was going to knock my review of the scale down to 3 stars over, seemingly, false advertising. I decided not to because I reviewed both the instruction manual and Escali's website and found no claims of this product featuring an athlete setting. Therefore the fault may lie with Amazon's listing of the product and not the product itself.
In summary, a good scale for large individuals. A subpar bodyfat analyzer for anyone with above average levels of muscle mass.
Product Review: Absolutely LOVE this item! Great investment in my opinion.
Summary: 5 Stars
We just bought a new Treadmill and plan on starting a diet plan once we return from vacation. So we thought we should buy a new scale to use as well. This scale is classy looking, and is pretty accurate. It has settings for either kilograms or pounds, it has 10 settings for up to 10 different users. When you initially turn it on, you will program it to your information such as gender, height, and age. Once you have done that you are ready to go, just step on and it will tell you your weight, water %, and body fat %. As someone else said in their review this item is not waterproof, so you might want to steer away from sitting it anywhere close to where it will or can absorb a lot of water. I have seen people store their scale next to their commodes and I would strongely suggest not doing that with this scale. If your commode overflows then it would ruin your scale.
This scale is very easy to use, easy to set up, and from what I can tell its very accurate with the information it provides you. I also like they way it looks. It costs alittle more than what I would normally pay for a bathroom scale, but now that I have the item and have used it I am glad that I paid the additional money and purchased this item. I always say you get what you pay for and in most cases that is very true. This in my opinion was a great investment and I would not hesitate to purchase it again.
Product Review: Accurate and Stylish!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I took this scale out of the box I was shocked. I almost didn't purchase this scale because of how stylish the Escali TT200 looked. I did not realize this scale has a glass face, it looks awesome even sitting in my kitchen.
The display is easy to use and I was able to get this unit up and running just by reading one page of the instruction manual. I don't understand why people are complaining about the manual, right when you open it up there are ten steps to guide you through a complete setup. A youngster could do it.
The scale was very accurate and is as solid as a rock. I come from a family where we are all pretty heavy and this scale held us up with ease. You can even stand on it with one foot and it won't budge. It's nice to see the body fat and water readings and they are accurate for the average user. Any body builder would probably get this measured at the doctor or with his/her physical trainer so I wouldn't skip this purchase just because you don't think the fat/water readings will be accurate.
For such a quality product I can't believe the price. It would be foolish of you to pass up this product if you are looking to save a few bucks with something cheap.
Don't worry if you are a heavy person. I thought I weighed over 400 pounds but I ended up being much less then that and with my new workout routine I can't wait to see those numbers drop.
If you seriously think you are over 440 pounds first of all let me say I'm glad you care about your health and are taking the time to look into purchasing a scale. Your best bet would be the Siltec WS-1000L High Capacity Scale, as that will be able to handle anything under 1000 lbs.
