Customer Reviews of Health o Meter HDL820-18 Digital Scale with LCD
Customer Review: Very satisfied with this scale!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was desperate for a scale when my 7-year old simple digital HealthOMeter finally died.
I went to the neighborhood Rite Aid store and got a WeightWatchers scale by Conair, and what a horrible product it was!!! Showed me a 5 to 7 lb difference in such a short time! Promptly returned it and came back to good old HealthOMeter.
I have never had problems with HealthOMeter before. But just as a test, I checked my weight against this one several times, and also against my friend's scale the first two weeks. It was accurate.
This scale looks really neat, is not heavy, and easy to clean too. You can set your display to either LBS or KG.
The numbers are nice, big, and black so reading shouldn't be a problem. I prefer if it were in bright red like my previous Healthometer. I could read that even if I were standing in a pitch dark room. This one unfortunately doesn't have any back lights so your room should have good sun light or be well lit. It doesn't matter to me honestly. It still qualifies for money well spent.
Customer Review: So far so good. Easy to use. Fairly accurate.

So i went on the hunt for a new scale. Never had a scale before, so i was looking for something to last a while, and something that would be fairly accurate to keep track of my weight. The scale in terms of looks and design is very nice. Sleek, and should match well with any decor you may have. It's a neutral gray with the glass upper region. It has large numbers that can be easily seen from a distance and it's quick. The feel is good, doesn't feel cheap or like if it's going to break. One thing that it does is that it's not 100% accurate if you get on and off in a weird angle or weight distribution. I'm guessing the scale calculates too early and doesn't allow your body to settle into the scale. But it's accurate enough. Once you get the feeling of the scale you will have accurate numbers to log in and keep track of your weight. I'd recommend buying this scale given the price range it is in. I even weighed my cat on it :) 12lbs. LOL. Enjoy. Hope this review helps your decision.Customer Review: not what I had expected
Summary: 1 Stars
I had such high hopes for this scale. I was convinced the scale I owned already (different brand) was no longer working as if you weighed yourself 5 times in a row on it you got 5 different readings so I purchased this new health o meter one.
However after unpacking it, testing it by weighing myself it seemed to work. I then decided to put a gym weight on this one and my old one to really test it's accuracy. My old one was correct and this health o meter was way wrong - it said 5.2lbs when the weight was 10lbs.
I think it could be a design issue. The platform you stand on is curved - perhaps to match your foots curve, I really don't know. But I do think this makes it difficult to stand with weight evenly distributed on the platform.
I have now moved my old scale to another room and it works fine so the health o meter is now relgated to the corner to collect dust.
Customer Review: It broke after a year and a half.

I loved this scale. It was accurate, easy to use, good looking. It worked fine for about 18 months .... now its gives me a reading of 116.8 pounds (Yes! I lost 15 pounds!), then immediately after are reading of 156.2 (GASP! I've never broken 150, not even at the doctor's after lunch). Then goes into E mode. I took the battery out and had it tested and the battery was perfect! So I put it back in (its been about 3 hours) and it read 158.6 .... and now I'm looking for a new scale. I weight about 133-134 every day until today and today I think I'll use my first weight of 116 and try to gain back......or do I use my last weight and go on a severe diet? I guess I'll see what the WII says.....
(This scale says it has a 4 year warranty, but of course I don't have the original packing information .... I know when it was purchased because it's in my Amazon history, but that doesn't help!)
Customer Review: Excellent for the price

I replaced a Taylor brand scale that I had purchased for about the same price. It stopped working when I snapped the thread-thin wire that some sadist had designed to hold in the battery. Do not buy a Taylor, OK.
I bought these scales for around twenty dollars and did not have great expectations. I was surprised by the quality of the finishing and the readings were accurate (give or take .2 or .4 of a pound). I read that another reviewer had a problem learning how to use it so I took a minute to read the instructions and it worked like a charm. Our baby weighs around 28 lbs. and I weigh around 172 and when we get on together or independently the readings add up the same. Pretty happy.
I've read some of the one star reviews and it's obvious that they received damaged goods. This thing has a five year warranty so if it acts up then back it goes.
