Customer Reviews of Taylor 5599 440 Pound Tempered Glass Body Fat-Body Water Scale
Customer Review: poor/cheap design takes away from otherwise good scale
Summary: 3 Stars
On the box/picture, this is a nice-looking scale with great features. Out of the box, it has a lot of cheap plastic in key places and the design of the digital interface is lacking. I tried it for a week and returned it. First, the plastic sticks out in a curve around the bottom of the scale, and you quickly realize somebody is eventually going to step there accidentally and break it. The buttons at the top are the same plastic and the whole top flexes down considerably when you press a button (and you have to press fairly hard for the buttons to engage). That leads to the digital interface where the buttons almost always seemed to need two presses before they would function, occasionally it'd work on the first press, but it was nearly always two. To the right of the LCD is a list of parameters (body fat, body muscle, body water and bone mass) that it cycles through after it takes a reading, but for some unknown reason, it doesn't cycle through them in the order printed on the plastic (which makes them more difficult to remember since it goes through them quickly and doesn't save them with the individual's profile).
I initially tried it on a carpet, and the readings were clearly off (my analog scale works fine on the carpet). I moved it to a solid floor. Once moved, it seemed very accurate, and I got consistent readings from it. The included manual was useless. It offers little/no description of the body parameters returned by the scale (and their website doesn't either). Also the setup instructions are not particularly good, there's a tiny icon on the LCD to differentiate male/female which isn't even mentioned in the manual (I assume I correctly guessed the one with the triangle was female, as the male one made no sense). The manual didn't show any pictures of the setup screens, and relied mostly on how many times to press the buttons (not particularly useful when you have to press more than once to get it to register).
I expected more from a $40 scale that is made to look nice on the package. Taylor, minimally, needs to hide the plastic at the bottom under the glass, strengthen the backing behind the buttons, fix their software to show items in the order presented, and drastically improve their manual. All in all, it's a pretty good scale if you just care about the numbers and not how it's built/works.
Description of Taylor 5599 440 Pound Tempered Glass Body Fat-Body Water Scale
A body fat and body water scale that is actually attractive! This body fat scale estimates body fat and body water (to the precise 0.1%). A Low/Normal/Moderate/High status bar shows where you rank with your body fat and body water percentages. The oversized platform is high tempered glass with brushed stainless steel accents for a sleek, contemporary look. The dual line readout is a large 1.8' in total height. The capacity is an ultra-high 440 lb, yet reads in precise 0.2 lb increments. A built in carrying handle allows the scale to be moved easily. In addition, this scale is also a simple weight only scale - just step on the scale to get your weight measurement. Another quality product from Taylor Precision Products, the market leader in the bath scale market. 1 long life Lithium battery supplied. 5 year scale warranty.Health, Care, Beauty Products
