Product Reviews of Escali High-Capacity Bathroom Scale with Body Fat/Body Water Monitoring (440lb / 200kg)
Product Review: Consistently Accurate! Finally!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd HIGHLY recommend the Escali scales.
I first tried a different digital. I could never get the same reading twice. I could get on and have one reading, get off, and then immediately get back on and have a reading as much as 3 pounds off from the first reading. Really frustrating for me.
Next, I went back to the basics and tried one of the non-digital, older style ones with the dial. It seemed to be fairly accurate. Problem was that I had a hard time reading the dial. The markings were so close together that I still couldn't pin down an exact weight, so I was forced to estimate within about a 3 pound range.
Frustrated by my previous 2 scales, I spent a lot of time researching various scales online and reading reviews prior to purchasing my 3rd. I was tempted to buy one of the hospital scales that stand upright with the sliding weights, but I didn't really have a good place to put it. I decided to try digital again, and I narrowed it down to an Omron and an Escali. Based on better reviews at the time, I chose the Escali and I have never regretted my decision. I've owned it for 2 years now and it has always given me a completely accurate reading every single time. My only goal was a scale that would give me consistently accurate readings, but this scale also measures percentage of body fat, body water, and weight for up to ten individual users, and stores previous weights if you want to keep track. I'm still on the original batteries after 2 years of constant use by my wife and I, and I have no complaints at all. I loved it so much that I later also purchased their food scale to weigh meat, etc and it is just as accurate and I have been just as pleased.
I had never even heard of this brand before, but the bottom line is that based on my experience Escali makes extremely accurate, high quality scales. I'd highly recommend, and it's the only brand I'll buy from here on out. Hopefully they'll maintain their current quality standards for years to come.
Product Review: Died in 60 days
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this scale after reading many of the glowing reviews, feeling that it was unlikely that I would also receive a defective product. Unfortunately, after barely 60 days of use, the scale ceased functioning entirely yesterday. It is well outside of the return period, too, so I won't be recouping any of my loss on this one. My advice is to skip this brand's poor quality and find a better, cheaper scale that won't quit so easily!Product Review: Does it's job, but could be more intuitive
Summary: 4 Stars
This scale does everything it says it does, my only issue is trying to set it up and use it the first few times proved to be rather confusing. Also, I had assumed that since it stored 10 people's details it would also store their last weigh-in but no such luck. Otherwise it feels and performs very solid especially considering most of what you're stepping on is glass.Product Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, both my husband and I like this scale. My only complaint is that in order to get a consistent read it had to be placed on the tile flooring (vs wood, low carpeting, etc). Other than that, I like the multiple profile features and the stable surface. Some of the reviews I read made me apprehensive, with respects to overall safety/balance of this scale. However, I've not once felt like I was going to slip or lose balance due to the materials the product was made with.Product Review: Don't buy!! Scale doesn't work after only 4 days!!!!!!

Purchased this scale from amazon after reading and researching tons of different scales. I was looking for somthing that not only looked good, but worked well also. With the high star reviews for this scale, I decided this was the one. I am dieting and liked the idea that it told you your body fat also, plus, with it's glass design and round shape, it fits very nicely in my bathroom. I ordered this on Thursday, Feb. 26th and received it Friday, Feb. 27th, great job Amazon!
When it first arrived, i set it up as instructed. I programmmed it for 2 users, myself and my husband. We put it on a tile floor in our bathroom and only stepped on it with bare feet. It worked fine for the first 2 days, told us weight and body fat, water weight, etc.. Then, on Sunday, when I would step on it using my profile, it would only tell me my weight, not my body fat. When it got to the body fat area, I was getting a message that said "Err2", over and over again. After reading the paper that came with it (you can't call that thing a manual!!!), it didn't give any tips as to what to do about that.
I called Escali myself today and all they could tell me was to send it back. No apology for their equipment not working right, no explanation as to what could have gone wrong (one girl said it could be that the load cell broke??? WTF is that? Neither my husband nor I are extremely heavy, he is 185 and I am 180, how did we break a scale that is supposed to have a 440 lb. capacity??). Horrible customer service from Escali, horrible!!! They offered no advice, no apologies, nothing, first thing out of their mouths was that I should call amazon to find out how to return it! I will never buy another thing from this company again! Since when should a $50 scale (higher priced IMO for a home scale), break after only 2 or 3 days?????
Luckily, Amazon is wonderful to work with and are taking it back.
Hate this scale, don't buy it, stay away from this company!!!!!
