Product Reviews of Taylor 5599 440 Pound Tempered Glass Body Fat-Body Water Scale
Product Review: Became inaccurate over time - unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
This scale appeared to work well the first month I had it. A few months after owning the scale, it started to show me losing weight (my goal was to gain weight, unfortunately) at an alarming rate... eventually, I got fed up with the scale and, using a piece of shelving to distribute the weight evenly, I placed a pair of 60 lb dumbbells (120 lbs total) on the scale to see what it would read. Sure enough, the reading was about 15 lbs too low. Taylor Scale=FAIL
I then scoured the web to see if there was a way to recalibrate or "zero" the scale. I looked over everything I could find on the company's website. I found nothing helpful and tossed the POS.
On a lesser note, I was also a little skeptical of the Athlete vs. Non-athelete bodyfat settings... I think the "athlete" settings were a few percentage points too low, and the non-athlete settings were clearly too high.
I'm an active 150lb 25 year-old male, and I do not approve of this product.
Product Review: Best Scale Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been on the search for a great scale and this just happened to be *the one*. I read the reviews and was a little skeptical but once I've played around with it I just love it!! I made my husband try it and he's impressed too. The only thing I suggest is get a pen & paper if you want to write down your info because it flashes and is hard to memorize before it turns off.Product Review: Best thing I've ever set my feet on!
Summary: 5 Stars
Accurate, consistent, and beautiful! Also as a bonus, it tells me my body fat % too. What more could anyone ask for in a scale?Product Review: Beware: Lithium batteries NOT 9v
Summary: 3 Stars
The product description states "Scale operates on one 9 volt battery, not included."
That is wrong. The scale uses two Lithium batteries (CR 2032) which are non-rechargeable.
As others have stated, the glass and metal look nice, but the plastic pieces (the "handle" and control buttons) are cheap and flimsy.
Product Review: Body-fat analyzer does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
This scale accurately calculates weight but it cannot calculate body-fat correctly at all. I bought this scale and tested it on my family. None of us are over 17% body-fat. The scale kept saying we were 30% body fat. We exchanged it twice.
It does not work.
