Customer Reviews of Health o Meter HDL820-18 Digital Scale with LCD
Customer Review: Accurate and Consistent
Summary: 4 Stars
While there was quite a range in the reviews for this product, overall they looked positive, so I took the plunge and bought this scale. I have been very happy with my purchase. I can step on and off several times in a row and get a very consistent reading (within 0.2lbs each time). It's a sleek looking scale, seems accurate and is very consistent. My only recommendation for improvement would be a backlight for the screen, as the readout can be a little hard to read if the room isn't brightly lit or the screen falls in my shadow.
Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and recommend this as an economical scale that meets the basic needs.
Customer Review: 2 years and still going strong!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I just thought I would leave a review for this fantastic scale. I bought it (I think) 2 years ago, and it is still going strong. I am pretty hard on it too... putting it away every day and ploping it down every morning), and it is very accurate.
I know it is accurate because I also go get weighed at Weight Watchers every week, and this scale doesn't seem to deviate. My two year old now steps on it every morning (copying momma), and I have to say that I am impressed that it picks up her meager 27 lbs and change accurately too!
SO, I sing praises to this scale!! It's a winner!!
It's also stylish!!
Customer Review: Accurate and Sleek
Summary: 4 Stars
I replaced a 20 year old very clinical looking scale with this sleek digital scale, after doing my on-line research. This scale model was in the top ratings and was very reasonably priced. Amazon was offering two scales for the price of one just before Christmas -- one for us and one as a gift. This scale is as accurate as our doctor's office scale, which we had the occassion to check since it arrived. My only issue is not having a light on the LCD readout. This is my personal choice, and not a product defect, since our scale is kept in a small dark alcove in a hall, not close to a light switch.Customer Review: Good with one downfall
Summary: 4 Stars
So far this scale has done the job. Although, we have only had it a month or so. The only downside is the plank is very sensitive to touch. The directions say to step on it once then wait for the 0.0 to appear before getting on (there is a sticker on the plank that shows you where to touch in order to activate it). Well, once you see the 0.0 and step up, if you touch the area where the sticker is at all, it will start over and reset to 0.0. So, you have to position your feet in a way that you don't hit the sticker when weighing. I hope that makes sense. Not a huge deal, but something to consider.Customer Review: Good enough for daily use if you dont need high precision
Summary: 3 Stars
Works best on hard surface, but it does not have high precision. Sometimes it cannot measure a slight difference in weight, if weighed immediately after a previous weigh(for example if I take some 1 lb bag and weigh again immediately, it cannot track the difference). However, after a while it captures the change. If the difference is more than 1 lb, it can track the change immediately. Also, it cannot track very slight changes like a difference of 0.2 to 0.6 lbs. It is overall good and handy for day to day use. I like the design also, it is a plus. Overall, it is a good deal for its price.
