Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)On the bottom of this scale, down below the battery compartment cover that clearly does not fit and wouldn't stay on the product, let alone stay closed, it says something to the effect of "Made To Our Exact Specifications In China." That should tip you off about this product to begin with (pun intended).
First, it is white, and not black, as shown in the Amazon listing picture. So, if you order it in red, expect green...or if your order in blue, expect yellow. I dunno...maybe I'm jimping ahead and predicting the pattern. Let me know what color you get if you decide to buy this scale and we'll see if we can work out what color you would need order to end up with the color you want.
Second, and most important o fits faults...it doesn't work! It states clearly in the Amazon listing and on th eproduct box that this sclae weighs up to 440 lbs, but that is a lie. It will weigh up to a certain amount (different on each attempt) but will not weigh past about 380 lbs (again, the max weight capacity varied, but never weighed past 383 lbs.), which is about 60 lbs less than the product listing on Amazon and the side of the box states. I determined this after doing some testing with varying weights added to a person weighing 310 lbs. The other couple of functions seemed to work ok, but, who knows if they were actually working accurately considering that the scale doesn't even perform it's most basic function of weighing people.
I did a lot of research before buying this scale. The low price finally sold me on it. I figured that, if what many others said about Taylor scales in general were true...that Taylor scales tend to stop working after three to eighteen months...I could buy three or four of these for the price of a similar higher end brand. I've already ordered a higher end brand, and I recommend that you do, too. Now, say it with me to help me remember: "you get what you pay for, you get what you pay for, you get what you pay for..."
I don't watch the Biggest Loser show. I couldn't care less about the Biggest Loser endorsement. I'm sure fans of the show will be dissapointed by this product. I'm not sure what to think of any product that actually advertizes that it is made in China to "our specifications." I made sure not to allow any children to chew on it or lick it before returning it. I won't buy another Taylor product.
I gave it one star...because it is, as a matter of fact, a bathroom scale, as advertised. I guess it has that going for it.
Caveat Emptor.
