Health o meter 142KL () Professional Home Scale

I found the scale to be accurate. I purchased it because it is the same one in the doctors office . The markers between the larger increments are quite small but that’s not an issue when it comes to a healthy weight the larger markers will do it . My disappointment is the scale came damaged a large crack going across the plastic dome face with a smaller chunk of plastic in the bottom of the plastic bag as I removed the scale from the box . I contacted the seller with 2 photos of the damage , did not hear back , I contacted Amazon , same thing did not hear back. For the cost of the scale I wanted it to be in good condition when it arrived. I would have purchased it in a store if I could find one then chose a scale that wasn’t broken .

This is the same scale they have at my physical therapist. Between one eighty and two hundred is kind of difficult to read but not impossible.

I deliberated over 3 or 4 scales and was concerned that some previous reviewers indicated this scale was hard to zero or that they had to constantly re-set it. Ultimately the thing that sold me was the high % of reviewers who gave it a 5 rating, and I have had no problems zeroing it. I set it once and it is still fine. My only complaint is, while I like the 1-pound increments, the hash marks are difficult to read. I feel the numbers and hash-marks could be bigger or maybe they could incorporate a magnified window over the dial as I have had in other scales. The 5- and 10-pound hash-marks are easy enough to see so I can pretty ball-park what is in-between. I am confident of its accuracy. I bought this to replace a digital scale that I had only had for a few months and this reads the same weight as did the digital scale (I was buying batteries every 3-4 weeks and decided it was time to cut my losses). All in all I feel this was a good value and I am pleased with it.

When you’re standing on the scale, the numbers are pretty small and difficult to read so we’re returning it.

I replaced a still-working electronic scale because it varied as much as two pounds from one day to the next, and the variations made no sense. After a few initial weighings and easy adjustments, this HealthOMeter scale is much more consistent. I've had it and used it daily for over two weeks now, and it returns exactly to zero every time. I agree with some other reviewers that the per-pound lines are a little difficult to read, but even in dim light without my glasses, it's not hard to judge where the indicator lies between the five-pound lines and get my weight to the nearest pound. If you need more than one-pound precision, you will have to go for a digital scale. I would definitely buy this scale again, especially at the price it's going for now.
