Customer Reviews of Salter 914 Electronic Baby and Toddler Scale
Customer Review: Sucked!
Summary: 1 Stars
The scale NEVER worked. It showed "Lo" battery from the beginning. So I purchased new batteries. Still registered "Lo." Called the company, and the person on the line had me take out the battery and reinsert it (DUH! Didn't I do this when (1) I put in the original battery and (2) I put in the new battery?) Okay, still registered "Lo." I was told to return the scale for a replacement but I needed the scale immediately. I purchased another brand (American Red Cross) at Babies R Us and it's worked beautifully from the beginning. I've returned the scale to Salter/Taylor Precision Products and requested a refund. Time will tell. It cost me over $24 to UPS it back to the company, and I paid about $37 for the scale!Customer Review: Great item
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to say this item is very nice. Its very stable with the top portion on, and doesnt slide or give any indication that the removable part will be loose or come off unwantedly.
The contoured top is a nice bonus, it was somewhat difficult to find a model that had that so that my child didnt roll off of it if they were fiesty.
The big read out is also very handy. The only complaint is that there is no back lighting on the LCD screen showing weight and it could be a little clearer on the readout when dealing with partial ounces.
But for the money, this scale is great - not to mention converting to a toddler scale makes this a semi permanent fixture in our household for years.
Customer Review: Never shows the correct weight!
Summary: 1 Stars
This scale is defective! From day one it has shown us a wrong weight for our 4 month old son. We bought it cause he was not putting on enough weight and we wanted to monitor his weight form home. Everytime we weighted him at home we were so happy to see that he has put on weight, but when we went to his pediatrician we were shocked to see that actually he was more than a pound off. We have always weighed him at home just before going to the pediatrician to compare what the difference may be so we can account for it, but it is never consistent! Sometimes it is more than a pound off sometimes more and sometimes even less. I have not contacted customer service as yet but will do so soon. My advice don't buy this scale.Customer Review: Great for cat babies, too!
Summary: 4 Stars
When we converted a spare room into a kitty foster room, a baby scale was at the top of the list of things I would need. Since we keep the kittens until they are big enough to be spayed/neutered, I wanted something more accurate than just weighing myself with and without a kitten in my arms. This scale is exactly what I needed. I like the feature of setting it to disregard the weight of a towel. The only thing I would change is that the display doesn't actually show a zero directly after the decimal point. When it read 2. 1, I though it was 2.1 instead of 2.01. When monitoring very low weights, that is a meaningful difference. And I like that it is small enough to store in a drawer when not being used.Customer Review: Saltier 914 baby scale
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this scale to weigh my cats as I have one that is 14 lbs and should be about 8 lbs (adopted her at that weight). I also have 5 others that I want to monitor their weight to keep them healthy. The cats are pretty good at staying on the scale and it registers quickly to get a weight; some of them love to lay in it. It appears to be very accurate as the weight did not fluctuate when I weighed them several times. I have only had it about 2 months and only use it about once a month so cannot attest to its long-term reliability but it seems like a good product to me. Since a half a pound is a big deal to a cat, I wanted something to give me ounces and be accurate and it seems to do both.
