Product Reviews of Salter 200 Academy Professional Mechanical Scale, White and Gray
Product Review: Excellent Scale.
Summary: 4 Stars
Very Accurate, easy to read numbers. Weight in one lb increments. Quite Large (not good for small spaces). Durable-do not expect that it will need replacing.Product Review: Finally a scale as accurate as my doctor's !
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so frustrated with a digital scale we had for years. I saw the reviews on Amazon for the Salter 200 mechanical scale and ordered it. Upon unpacking it and following the simple set-up directions (step on the scale three times and dial the pointer to "Zero" I was pleased that it read my weight exactly the same, each and every time I stepped on it, AND, it read the same as the medical quality scale in my doctor's office. I am so sold on this bathroom scale. This will probably be the last one I will ever need to buy!Product Review: Good overall, but some shortcuts in materials
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite a few shortcomings in the the materials used, I think this is a good scale. I think it weighs perfectly and consistently, with a smooth dial that doesnt bounce around. You can tell the mechanical parts are high quality, but its a shame the manufacturer made some shortcuts in the materials that were chosen.
This is the same scale sold for much more at Restoration Hardware. Unfortunately, the box said "designed and engineered in England" and on a tiny sticker on the bottom, it said "made in China". Unfortunately, this is a trick a lot of manufacturers seem to be using these days.
The large domed dial cover is made from plastic, not glass. Secondly, the gray non-slip surface was a light gray, textured sticker that seemed thin and had a few light ripples. It makes an otherwise nice looking scale look a little bit cheap; something that could have been easily avoided with a heavier rubber surface. There were a couple of voids on the metal under the gray sticker, and indentations were are when you step on the scale. It does go away after a minute.
I wanted this style because its a formal, classic look. My decision to buy it was that it seemed modern glass scales would much more easily show water drops and dust. From a size perspective, the scale is also very large, which is great if you have a the space.
Product Review: Good product
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a good scale. Measuring is accurate, its easy to read, it has a metric scale too.
Maybe it's a little bit bigger, but who cares. Its simple, accurate and battery free. Five stars.
Product Review: Great Accurate and Consistent Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want a scale that's accurate and consistent this is it. It's built like a battleship and consistently reads the same no matter how many times you step on it. As for accuracy, I compared it to the $10K scale at the gym and it was off by one pound.
Note that the accuracy at the extremes (below 40 and above 300) are not very good. But it midlines at 170lbs and is dead on in that range.
Beats any digital I've tried...
