Customer Reviews of Health o Meter BFM588DQ-81 Body Fat and Hydration Percentage Fitness Scale, Champagne, (Weighs up to 375lbs)

Customer Review: Much potential...
Summary: 2 Stars

I really wanted to like this scale. After I received it, I inserted the batteries and gave it a shot. Fairly consistent results each weighing. The back lit display is especially nice and bright.

But then I sat down and started reading the manual, trying to actually program it. Both of the buttons under the screen were working exactly the same. It was as if they were stuck together, pressing the same contact on the circuit board inside. I'd hold either one down and it would start blinking to set the time and date, but all I could do was cursor through the options. It was impossible to actually increment the numbers.

I frustratingly jabbed the button down as hard as I could, short of actually breaking it, down and at an angle. Sure enough, a couple digits incremented, but not without also moving around from hour to minute to month, and so on.

Greatly irritated, I unscrewed the base (no doubt voiding the warranty -- and any hope of returning it), determined to fix it. I attempted to re-seat the buttons, but I gave up when there was no immediate improvement from my fiddling. I'm not done, however. I'm fairly certain I can fix this thing. Luckily, I have some basic electronics background. You may not. :P

I'm not sure how to rate the item; others were happy with their purchase, yet mine is unusable at the moment except for basic weighing. Most likely, I merely got a defective scale, of course. I love how this thing feels, and I'm sure if I had a good, working product it would be just dandy.

Use your judgment.
