Customer Reviews of Weight Watchers WW34 Glass Precision Electronic Scale
Customer Review: Scale seems fine - manufacturer's stupidity drops score
Summary: 3 Stars
Just received this scale from Amazon. As in the online descriptions, the scale's packaging coos about the scale being "sleek," "elegant" and "contemporary."
It would look great - if the manufacturer had not pasted a huge, red, stop-sign shaped sticker right in the center of the glass scale. And not a nice, easy to remove vinyl sticker for those who apparently can't figure out how to activate the scale. No, this is a cheap, impossible to remove without the expense of Goo Gone sticker. Contacted the corporate office to mention this idiot move - zero interest; told me I was calling after hours. Eventually made it past the busy signals of the customer-service 800 number and left them a message.
So, I'm looking forward to using my new scale. Just as soon as I go the hardware store, buy Goo Gone, and scrub off the cheap sticker, that is.
Customer Review: very accurate, sigh
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally replaced my spring scale with this one. The WW34 is way way more accurate, repeatable, and all those things a scale should be.
Dang
Now I know how much way too many things weigh. I weighed myself a few times, it kept repeating the same measurement. That couldn't be true! Shoes. OK. A few repeats with and without holding the shoes. Sweatshirt, jeans ... maybe it's that cup of coffee, how much did I add there ...
You get the idea. It repeated all those measurements.
Now I can't blame the scale.
At least it looks good sitting there on the floor.
Customer Review: Great scale
Summary: 5 Stars
These scales were sold on promotional display at our grocery store a year or so ago and I purchased one for myself. Since that time everyone who visits our house wants to know where to get one of these scales. However, I haven't been able to find them locally again. I got two more as Christmas gifts for family members that really wanted one. The order arrived the next day even though I selected two day shipping. Pretty impressive. The scale has been great for me. It weighs to the tenth of a pound (or you can change it to kg).Customer Review: Accurate, consistent, clean looks, easy to read, weighs in 1/10 lb increments
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this digital scale to replace our analog scale thinking it would be easier to read and prettier to look at. It is both. It gives consistent readings to the tenth of a pound, meaning that it gives the exact same reading if I step off and back on a few minutes apart. I weighed our two cats (10.2 lbs and 10.7 lbs) and found that if weigh myself holding a cat, it displays the exact sum of our individual weights. My weight is consistent with our old scale, except that this scale gives a much more precise reading.
To use the scale, you must first tap it with your foot and wait two or three seconds for it to display 0.0. If you skip this part, it displays "Err" until you step off. This is of course different from a traditional scale, but it took only a few uses for it to become habit. It might be nicer if the toe tap wasn't required, and I deducted a star for that, but we wouldn't trade it back for an analog scale. Perhaps the tap is required to extend the battery life and/or to calibrate the scale to exact zero. There may be other digital scales that don't require the tap, but it really isn't that big of a deal for us.
Customer Review: This scale stinks.
Summary: 1 Stars
This "Tap on scale activator" is annoying! We've had to "tap" it numerous times for the scale to even come on (if it ever does). Sometimes I give up trying and decide not to weigh myself, which defeats the purpose of me buying this scale to be sure I am keeping up with my weight on a weekly basis. It doesn't make any sense and I just want my scale to work when I step on it.
