Customer Reviews of Tanita HD340 Jenny Craig Glass Digital Lithium HealthyTrack Scale with Goal Tracking TechnologyCustomer Review: HD340 is an expensive piece of junk -- been through 2 and both failed Summary: 1 Stars
If you want an easy to use, accurate, reliable scale, stay away from this model. I bought one and it never worked properly. I returned it to the manufacturer for repairs, and when it came back, nothing was fixed. In both forms, new and repaired, the scale has been a nightmare. Here are the problems:
1. It is incredibly inaccurate. In my case, the weight ranged from 10 to 12 pounds too low, new and repaired (perhaps that's why Jenny Craig has her name on this - her customers will think they've lost ten pounds the moment they step on this junker). And the weight readings are inconsistent. With the scale in exactly the same spot on a ceramic tile floor, readings varied more than a pound from one weighing to another, with the weighings only a few seconds apart.
2. The programming buttons are a nightmare to operate, largely because they don't work as claimed. The programming for time and date worked ok, but none of the other programming features could be set up, no matter what I did.
3. The instruction manual that comes with the scale is far short of what it should be. For example, there are not enough details about error messages that appear on the screen (and they appear very frequently).
I can't think of a single redeeming quality for this scale. My advice: don't waste your money. You can easily find something twice as good for half the price.
I think it's a disgrace that a product with so many inherent flaws can be pawned off on people under a brand name like Jenny Craig.
Description of Tanita HD340 Jenny Craig Glass Digital Lithium HealthyTrack Scale with Goal Tracking TechnologyYour Jenny Craig HealthyTrack Scale uses patented Tanita technology that automatically helps you determine your weight goal by suggesting a target weight based on Body Mass Index (BMI, the medically recognized standard for healthy weight). To help monitor your progress, the scale has a recall function which displays your past weight readings by date. In addition, you can set the scale in Weightless Mode in which your actual weight is not displayed resulted in privacy from other people. Note: Please consult your doctor before you start a weight management program or if you are uncertain of your target goal weight. The Tanita HD340 Jenny Craig Glass Digital Lithium HealthyTrack Scale combines Tanita's world-renowned precision electronic scales with Jenny Craig's internationally trusted personalized weight loss and weight management solutions. This co-branded scale is perfect for the health-conscious individual who is committed to weight loss and long-term lifestyle changes. The HD340 features a step down goal tracking system, which allows users to set realistic weight loss goals and monitor progress regularly to stay motivated and focused. HealthyTrack Technology Tanita's HealthyTrack is based on Tanita's patented Step Down Goal Weight Tracking technology. First, the scale automatically establishes your Ultimate Goal Weight based on the ideal Body Mass Index (BMI) that you will strive to meet. (Always consult your doctor before you start any weight management program.) Then, once your goal weight has been established, the HD340 divides the Ultimate Goal Weight into smaller, attainable steps. By setting these steps, the scale helps to keep you motivated day-to-day as you work to meet your ultimate weight loss goal. The scale tracks the progress of your weight change and shows a percentage toward your goal weight with a bar graph. Rewards and progress are displayed for each step-by-step achievement towards your ultimate goal weight. Because everyone is unique in how they set their goals, this scale allows users to choose from three different modes to fit any comfort level: - Classic Mode has an LCD display with your actual weight, weight change (loss/gain) from previous reading, weight change (loss/gain) since the start of your program, percent achieved toward the "target goal weight," and the total percent achieved with each step.
- Weightless Mode is a unique and patented mode that allows you to maintain your actual weight in privacy from other household members. By selecting this mode, your actual weight is not displayed; instead you only see your progress. All other features from the classic mode continue to be displayed.
- Weight Only Mode is a scale setting that makes the HD340 function like a regular bathroom scale -- just tap the middle of the scale to turn it on. It includes a recall function which displays the past 12 readings by date to help monitor your progress.
On the bottom of the scale is a quick reference card for fast and easy set-up. The scale has a 400-pound weight capacity with high accuracy four-load cell technology, a large, super-bright-blue-backlight LCD display, and is powered by four long-life, digital lithium batteries and a separate alkaline batter for the display (all batteries included). The HD340 is great for families because it can support four individual users in its memory and recall up to 12 previous weight readings with calendar date. 
The HD340 has a large backlit LCD (2.5 by 6.5 inches) that makes it easy to view your results in one of the three modes. | Achieve Success and Insure your Goals Jenny Craig is more than just a name attached to this robust product -- the company is committed to helping you achieve your weight management goals, even after you step off the scale. The HD340 comes equipped with Jenny Craig Success Tools, including 24/7 access to Jenny Craig's online e-tools for basic diet information, a weight tracking chart, message boards, and other weight loss motivational tools.
