***UPDATE***
I have had this scale since May of 2010 and I have returned it 3 times to the manufacturer. This scale works for a month or so, and then the "tap on" feature just doesn't work. Another problem is that the screen just dies. The scale will work one day, and be dead the next. I love the accuracy of the scale, because it is very accurate. I have another scale (I had to buy another one because this model would constantly die on me and I needed to know my weight) and I have no problems with the other scale. I have been through 3 of these Escali scales, and the same thing every time... A DEAD SCALE. The screen doesn't appear after you tap (step) on it. I replaced the batteries with each scale, and the screen remains BLANK! With 3 faulty scales by this company, I think that there is definitely something wrong with the manufacturing of this product. I leave it the box, stored under my bed when it's not in use so it's not exposed to damp areas or hot areas, it's just a poorly made scale (that gives good results none the less).
ACCURATE = YES
WORKING & RELIABLE = NO
I like the look and feel of the scale. This is my first glass scale and I prefer it to the metal type scales I have owned in the past. The plus is the large capacity, the main reason most people have purchased this scale is due to the high capacity I am sure, so that is a very good advantage. The accuracy seems to be on point for me. I have not had any misreadings or fluctuations while weighing myself. I read where people mentioned that it does not keep a record of your previous weight, so that you can compare and monitor gain or loss, that would be nice to have, but I don't have a problem writing my weight down in my journal and keeping track of it myself. I am more concerned with getting an accurate reading of my weight. With scales I had in the past, you had to step on, be very still, make sure it was even, and then get a readout. With this one, I step on, wait a few seconds, step off, and read my weight. Simple and easy. I like that.
So far I haven't had any tip overs. There are 4 suction type cups on the bottom and they hold it in place for me. When I pick it up to place it back under my bed, I have to give a little pull to get it off the floor so I am not concerned with it flipping or tipping over. It's secure.
The scale also has a nice stylish look to it, that is a plus.
Overall, it is a great scale with high capacity that gives you an accurate reading of your weight.

I purchased this item and I have found it be a great tool for measuring body fat percentage as well as weight. For the best body fat percentage results, drink 25 oz. of water the first thing in the morning on an empty stomache, wait 30 minutes, use the restroom and weigh. The body's water percentages fluctuate throughout the day so much that this particular procedure is recommended by experts familiar with bio-impedance body fat scales as it allows for consistency in day-to-day or week-to-week weighing.Product Review: Good product to this point

So far, this scale has been great, and looks great. I'm really happy with my purchase. Being a big boy, I needed something that would weigh in more than a normal scale, and I found it here.
#1, it weighs at higher weights, and #2 it looks great.

I bought this scale after a 10 min search and review of products available at Amazon (lots of them available and my head was spinning).I decided to pass on the big brands (Conair, etc...) products because it seem to me they are all hit am miss (some are god some are really bad...too many choices and not consistent quality and too litle time to read all the reviews and choose a good one). I decided to buy this scale because is made by a company that specializes on scales only and they offer a 5 years warranty on their product so they must be confident in their products.
Compared to my existing scale (a gift from my friends, made by Healthmeter or something like that) this scale is very fast and the measurements are very good (good accuracy both the resolution and repeatibility...yes, I am scientist). I tried many scales in various local stores here in the DFW Metroplex and this scale feels more solid than any other that I've tried in the stores.
The fat measurement are simple to set-up(even a caveman can do it:), just enter male/female, age and higth) and they were were reliable in my case. I am a large frame guy, 5'11" and 190 lbs, and get 18% fat and 60% water every single time I measured myyself for the past few weeks. Still trying to shake loose the 5-10 lbs holiday lbs :) Btw this is teh first time I decided to contribute a litle... so this is my first review ever :)
