Customer Reviews of Detecto 437 Balance Beam Doctor/Physician Scale, 400 lbs, Made in the USA
Customer Review: Review Of Detecto Models 437/439 Balance Beam Scale
Summary: 4 Stars
The Detecto Model 437/439 (the 439 has the height measuring rod)
balance beam scale is virtually idential to what you are used to
seeing in a doctor's office. I need to check the next time I'm in
my doctor's office but the 437/439 may be of lighter construction
(but perfectly adequate for the typical home environment).
In the several weeks that I have had the 439 (I ordered the Model
437 but the box contained the Model 439) I have been impressed at :
a.) How repeatable the measurements are
b.) How the scale's calibration stays the
same even when the scale is moved.
The scale arrived in a very rugged cardboard box and the only
assembly was to attach the vertical upright portion of the
scale to the floor assembly (that you stand on).
I think that there could be a slight weakness in the design in
the way the two pieces attach as there might be a problem with
metal fatigue if the scale was dragged around a lot by it's
vertical member.
The floor assembly has two metal 'tabs' that project up and it
is over those 'tabs' that the vertical member is placed and then
secured with four screws on the back and two on the front. The
vertical member exhibits good stiffness when exposed to front-back
pressure but it shows less resistance to side-to-side pressures
because there are no securing elements in those directions.
Long-term I may buy some small metal angle-brackets and mount them
to the left and right of the vertical member to provide support in
that plane (but I may never get around to it because in my household
the scale will not be abused and so will probably never have a
problem).
My overall evaluation of the product is that it's a bargain for the
couple of hundred dollars that I paid for mine through NorthShore
Supply (and the people there seem like nice folks).
