Product Reviews of Escali High-Capacity Bathroom Scale with Body Fat/Body Water Monitoring (440lb / 200kg)
Product Review: Great scale, a little tippy
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the look and the function of this scale. I don't know my exact body fat percentage, but I have a good idea and this scale seems fairly accurate (much more so than my old one).
The pros:
It has settings for up to 10 people (my old body fat scale only had 2).
The setting buttons are on the back, which is a plus when you have a toddler that likes to play with buttons and reset your settings on a regular basis.
To turn it on, you only have to step on it instead of pushing any buttons. You keep pressure on it longer to scroll through your preset settings.
You can have it in just weigh mode (instead of body fat & hydration mode), which is useful for weight toddlers, pets, etc.
It looks great.
It does body weight, percentage of body fat, and hydration.
The round shape makes it great for people with larger feet without taking up too much room.
The scale can weigh very large people (I think it goes up to 440 pounds).
The cons:
It is quite tippy. My 2 year old has stepped on it and tipped it over a number of times (once he hit his head on the toilet as he fell). Because of this, we can't leave it out on the bathroom floor. You need to make sure your feet are centered, because I had it tip on me once as well as I stepped off.
Bottom line: I like this scale, but do be careful as you step on & off, and keep an eye on any toddlers around it.
Product Review: So Far - So Good!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have not learned yet, to work all the features. However, I find it to be very accurate to measure your weight. I am very happy that I made this purchase.Product Review: I like it!
Summary: 5 Stars
WE got off to a great start when it told me I weighed less than our old, doctor's office type scale.
If one actually bothers to read the directions, it is very simple to use and so far seems to give consistent measurements.
Unlike some scales, it doesn't jump around if you don't stand stock still, but settles in on a consistent weight.
It can be a bit unstable, so older folks may wish to think twice if they have balance probs. Or if they need a scale with grips.. this is beautiful clear glass or somesuch and might be slippery if you have wet feet.
Other than this caveat, it is recommended.
One thing which could be better is remembering the weight and body fat measurements from last time... it doesn't do this.
Product Review: Very stylish but not waterproof!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
The scale certainly looks very good. Clean, cool and sleek. The functions are sufficient and correct (I compared to my old scale). I do wonder if one really needs 10 different profile settings and if they could have instead put more detail into how you access the fat&water measuring part? I find myself a little clumsy getting it right but it may just be me. What really annoys me though is that it is apparently not water-proof according to the manual. I was going to place the scale in my bathroom and I believe that would be the most common place for a scale. However the manual says to keep the scale away from moisture. So I don't want to risk it. Also, it does not work on carpet, only on a hard ground like bathroom tiles....Now I have to carry my scale from my bedroom into my bathroom when ever I want to use it. Product Review: Nice
Summary: 4 Stars
Its helped me review my weight, BMI, water content and the interfaceis nice for multiple to keep track at home without having to bend over and manipulate any switches.
