Product Reviews of Taylor 1350J Large Profile Mechanical Scale in Chrome
Product Review: Should you buy it? Depends
Summary: 2 Stars
For the needle on this scale to point to zero, it must be turned to a 45-degree angle. So, if you can stand at a 45-degree angle, this is the scale for you.Product Review: Waste of money!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this scale based on the Taylor reputation and the large readable dial on the scale. My first impression upon opening the package was that it was light weight - not a good sign of something you are going to put all your weight on. I placed it on a thin throw rug (where I always placed my old scale) and it gave a very inaccurate rating of 120 lbs (I weigh 270). I then placed it on the hardwood floor and again I got a reading first at 120, then 140 and then over 200, then back to 120, etc. I figured it out that depending on what part of the scale my center of gravity fell, I got a different reading. The highest it read was 240. At this point, I had my wife stand on the thing. It showed she weighed around 60 lbs and then she had the same kind of reading swings - none of them near her weight of 125 lbs.
I rechecked the instruction to make sure I did everything correct - I thought just take it out of the box, place on firm surface, zero the meter, and stand on it. This is how all other scales worked. There's was a little different -stand on, stand off, repeat several times, and then zero. I did this and repeated the same results as before. I took it back and got a refund.
This product has a scale that goes to 300 lbs so I don't think I was overstressing it (close but not quite). The surface had a very flimsy feel, you could feel the metal flexing as you stepped on and shifted your weight - probably the reason for the wildly swinging readings. This unit is definitely junk and not worth the money you pay. "You get what you pay for" doesn't even apply. I expected at least a consistent - if erroneous - reading while standing still on the scale. What I got was a needle on the dial dancing around like one on a stereo VU meter (my apologies and sympathies to those too young to know what that means - you missed some great quality equipment).
Product Review: a nice handy scale

I bought the scale soley for the plastic knobs attached. It aids one in following the direction of the weight.Product Review: don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
i found this scale to be very hard to read, even with the large dial, if you aren't right on one of the numerals, and very inaccurate. i just went to the doctor yesterday and found out that i weigh 7 lbs less than the taylor was telling me. if you get off and on several times you will see that it reads something different every time.
i wouldn't buy this if i were you. i see there are good and bad reviews. too iffy in my estimation.
amazon made me give it a star before it would accept my reveiw, otherwise i wouldn't even give it one. it's useless to me.
