Customer Reviews of Taylor 7322 Lithium Scale
Customer Review: Cheap JUNK! Plastic broke.....
Summary: 1 Stars
The good: Bought this scale at Target for around $25 on sale 2 years ago, and I still have it, and it still sort of works. You might think that rates more than 1 star.
The bad: Now dieting and want to track progress, instead of have a "token bathroom scale in residence." Because this cheap junk is unreliable, and inaccurate, I now have to spend another $30 on another scale. Not happy, and it won't be another Taylor, EVER!
The plastic cracked in the back after a few months, after I lost the receipt. My husband was all embarrassed about that. Saw another review here, same problem! Not his weight at 200#.
It often gives ERR message, when it works at all. It often doesn't work AT ALL! For months it sat in the corner dead. Now it is mysteriously working again, as well as it can I guess. If I get on it 3 times I get 3 different readings. Sometimes the display goes blank. In spite of all the flaws it is within 5 pounds of the Dr. scale, but it doesn't rate more than 1 star and has caused way way too much annoyance!
I missed the bit about the lifetime warranty, but upon consideration, I hate this thing so much I don't want another one even if it was free, I would be on edge expecting more problems.
Customer Review: Ridiculously bad
Summary: 1 Stars
I can step off, step right back on, and get a FIFTEEN POUND variance. This isn't your five pound a day, morning vs night argument. Half the time, when I stand on it, it won't give any reading - the numbers will run back and forth, and then it will go blank. Flat floor, carpet, wood, tile, doesn't matter. We have tried everything we can to get this to give a consistent reading - as in, at least within 3 pounds the same in five minutes - and no go. I have no idea if I've gained 20 pounds from when I bought it two months ago or lost 10, or if I'm the same weight! Absolutely useless. I'm finally writing this report because today was the last straw when it gave me a reading that was 22 pounds different immediately after standing on it. It's time for a new scale and a new brand.Customer Review: Platform cracked after 4 months
Summary: 1 Stars
I only weigh 180, but the plastic cracked right in the middle on the rear of the platform after just 4 months of daily use. I always step on it gently, and stand on the gray foot pads. After it cracked, I soon realized that standing on the gray pads isn't centering your weight on the unit, and does indeed put more pressure on the plastic frame in the back, since there is nothing to support it there. I can still use it, sort of, if I stand directly in the middle of the unit (ignoring the gray pads, and leaving my toes on the white part by the digital readout), but I get less accurate readings this way. I see no point in taking advantage of the lifetime warranty, because the new one would probably break again just as easily -- why bother with the hassle?Customer Review: VERY Inconsistent. Don't waste your money!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this scale a few years ago thinking that it was good. I would always step on the gray rectangles and get different readings each time. I just did it about 3 times and never thought anything of it. Now that I'm serious about my weight loss (p90x) program I am noticing more and more that this scale is inconsistent. I can barely step on the gray rectangles and I would weigh heavier than I am. If I ignore the rectangles and put both feet near the middle I weigh less. I'm one month into my program and there is NO way that I only lost 2 pounds. Not when I can actually see I've been losing inches. So it's time to spend another $20-$30 dollars on a non-taylor scale. Yay! NotCustomer Review: Functional at Best!
Summary: 2 Stars
Compared to the other consumers who have written terrible reviews, my experience hasn't been quite as bad. My scale works(worked), but it does give out different readings one after the other. Usually if you stand on it about three times in a row you can get a good idea of your weight which is good enough for my purposes.
I noticed in the description that it suggests the battery may last forever, but my battery lasted about a year and a half. I came to this site trying to find out it it gave any indication of where to buy replacement batteries because I would hate to buy the wrong kind. After reading the other reviews I may just replace my scale.
