Customer Reviews of Health o Meter HDL820-18 Digital Scale with LCD
Customer Review: There are better scales around...
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this scale over 6 months ago and it seems more recently that the measured weight is fluctuating by 2-3 pounds. So I am not sure what my weight is around. I think digital scales will fluctuate somewhat but by smaller amounts but there are other issues with this scale. This includes how one steps on the scale, places their feet and how much pressure one places which will rapidly change the results. Since there are no instructions how to do this it is hard to get a real result.
I agree with some of the other reviews. I have seen on occasions 5 different readings on 5 different attempts. When I decide to weigh myself a little later, my weight is probably much different.
So... It is worth buying a better scale even if it will cost more...
Customer Review: I gained a pound in an hour.
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been happy with the scale but I noticed something interesting today. After waking up this morning I showered, dried of and got on the scale. It read 192.4. I sat at my computer for 15 minutes. Out of curiosity I went and weighed myself again. It read 193.0. I went back to the computer for another 15 minutes, got up and to see what my weight was now. It read 193.4. I have not put anything into my body this morning. (or let anything out) There has been no change in temp. I am wearing the same thing all three times. Maybe this is just how the human body works. Now it is eight minutes after last trip to the scale and I am now at 193.6. I better stop writng reviews and get up and do something before I explode today.Customer Review: Nice an accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
this product looks sleek and it arrived on time.
testing:
3 of us tested this on the last weekend. we measured our wts 3 times, at intervals of about 4 hours at different locations in the house. It was always the same to the last decimal for all of us.
Being the same all the time, may not mean that it is accurate, there can be a negative or a positive error at all times, but that does not affect me.
Apart from this, like most other digital wt machines i checked, this is simple to use as well, just tap it once, wait for it to normalize to zero and then step on it (make sure that your legs are as far apart but also not going out of the machine frame)
Customer Review: May have 2 Pound Margin of Error
Summary: 1 Stars
I find in my use that this scale has shown a 2 pound margin of error in my weight range of around 195 pounds. Depending on where I place my feet, I can get a 2 pound variance. That it offers tenths of a pound in its display is ridiculous in light of this broad variance. I can use the scale consistently however, though it may not refleect true weight, if I am careful to always place my feet in the same location and always stand with the same weight distribution on ball and heel and take 5-7 weighings and accept the weight that comes up most often. That's a lot to do and maybe its not worth the low cost to put up with this. I am sorry I purchased this one.Customer Review: Nice Scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I've found this scale to be reasonably accurate. I get the same reading within a couple pounds as I did at my doctor's office just an hour later. Also, multiple measurements resulted in the same reading within a couple of pounds. I'm about 250 and I find this reasonable. The display is large and easy to read. Make sure you place the scale on hard surface to get the most accurate readings. There is a procedure to turn the scale on before stepping on it. You must tap the lower, right corner of the scale surface and then watch the display go through a setup. When you see 0.0 on the display, it's ready for you. You must do this each time you take your weight.
