Product Reviews of Sunbeam SAB998D-41 Dial Scale, White with Black Mat
Product Review: Not worth it
Summary: 1 Stars
I was wanting a scale and bought this one mainly because it was cheap and the reviews were decent. Man, was that the wrong thing to do! In this case, I should have gone with a more costly item because this one is crap! Sadly, "You get what you pay for." It's not a reliable weight. If you shift evenly the slightest the weight changes, sometimes by 5 lbs or more. You constantly have to "zero" it out with the little turny knob before you get on it. DO NOT GO WITH THIS PRODUCT!!!! Unless...you want to waste your money.Product Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 1 Stars
The product is definitely not worth the money. The pointer never starts at 0. I always have to fine tune the wheel to get the pointer to 0. Cannot rely on the scale.Product Review: OK considering the price, but consistently 1-2 lb off each measurement
Summary: 3 Stars
The title says it all. For $10, reasonably performs. No maintanence and does not occupy much space.
However, it seems 1-2 lb off every time I measure (reproducibility issue) and consistently couple lbs less than the number I get from another scale (precision issue). Overall, I can get an idea if my weight changed drastically (more than 5 lbs), so for that purpose it is OK.
Product Review: OK for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I had a bad experience with a digital scale for which I had paid ~$50 and that broke down just after a couple of months and I was not ready to spend that much money for another digital one. After reading the reviews for this one and looking at the price (main factor), I went with this. First off, I agree with some other reviewers that it does not give an accurate result and that after using it for few days the pointer goes a little off from the "0" marker. But neither one is a deal breaker. It's really easy to set the pointer back to 0 marker and once you know how much off the scale is showing (which is always a constant), you can always add (or subtract, whichever the case is) that number from the value the scale is showing, you can get your accurate weight. Overall, this is an OK product.Product Review: Paper Weight
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing redefines junk. I wasn't looking for much and got less. Just needed a bathroom scale, nothing special. If you weigh yourself 5 times consecutively you will get different answers every time with a +/- 5 lb difference. It isn't consistent with itself much less weights and standards. It wasn't worth manufacturing much less buying and shipping.
