Wonderful scale and is ok for heavier folks. We don't use the body fat, water stuff, but still love the scale.

Purchased this scale from amazon after reading and researching tons of different scales. I was looking for somthing that not only looked good, but worked well also. With the high star reviews for this scale, I decided this was the one. I am dieting and liked the idea that it told you your body fat also, plus, with it's glass design and round shape, it fits very nicely in my bathroom. I ordered this on Thursday, Feb. 26th and received it Friday, Feb. 27th, great job Amazon!
When it first arrived, i set it up as instructed. I programmmed it for 2 users, myself and my husband. We put it on a tile floor in our bathroom and only stepped on it with bare feet. It worked fine for the first 2 days, told us weight and body fat, water weight, etc.. Then, on Sunday, when I would step on it using my profile, it would only tell me my weight, not my body fat. When it got to the body fat area, I was getting a message that said "Err2", over and over again. After reading the paper that came with it (you can't call that thing a manual!!!), it didn't give any tips as to what to do about that.
I called Escali myself today and all they could tell me was to send it back. No apology for their equipment not working right, no explanation as to what could have gone wrong (one girl said it could be that the load cell broke??? WTF is that? Neither my husband nor I are extremely heavy, he is 185 and I am 180, how did we break a scale that is supposed to have a 440 lb. capacity??). Horrible customer service from Escali, horrible!!! They offered no advice, no apologies, nothing, first thing out of their mouths was that I should call amazon to find out how to return it! I will never buy another thing from this company again! Since when should a $50 scale (higher priced IMO for a home scale), break after only 2 or 3 days?????
Luckily, Amazon is wonderful to work with and are taking it back.
Hate this scale, don't buy it, stay away from this company!!!!!
Misadvertised maximum weight capacity. March 1, 2010

This scale has 4 sensors at each of the feet which hook into the main computer; it averages the weights of these scales to determine the users weight however the rigid glass construction does not allow for even distribution of weight among the sensors which causes one or more of them to go over-weight and error out. Below 380 pounds the scale is accurate but over that it craps out. Unless you are perfectly balanced you will not get an accurate reading.
I purchased this model to replace a Tanita HD351 which worked up to 460 pounds; I have gone from 550 down to near 400 and have weighted myself on everything from Gym scales to the industrial kind you find in a warehouse to doctors office scales. What makes the Tanita work is the large platform; you place your feet near the center and the metal top distributes the weight evenly amongst the 4 sensors; it's the difference between balancing on a metal ball and a balloon.
 Belive the low reviews February 26, 2010
Marshall Curtis (Baraboo, WI USA)
When I purchased this scale about 9 months ago I looked at all of the reviews and given the overwhelming majority in the positive I purchased it. It worked flawlessly for about the first 4 months. Since then it has been consuming more and more batteries, I am now lucky to get 10 days from a set. It also has been getting progressivley more and more difficult to get it to turn on and to zero. I do use the body fat reading but often do without because it won't reset to 0.0 after starting the program. It just sits at ---- and then turns off. Now I am generally luck to just get the thing to wake up at all. This morning it too new batteries and 15 minutes of fussing before I got it on and past the ----. It wasn't even my profile that worked in the end it was my wifes so I still did have a fat%.
I am chucking this thing out the second story window and watching shatter on the pavement with great joy!!! I figure that with what I have spent on batteries in the last 6 months I can buy a pretty nice wizbang unit!. I have truly never been so thourghly dissappointed with a purchas in my life, especially considering how good it seem to be at the start. I feel like I have been defrauded.
Save yourself a headache and carefully consider the few negative reviews about this product. I suspect that many of the positive review come in that first few weeks of bliss when this is what it proports but there is no follow-up when it crashes and burns. All of the negative review are coming from people who have owned the product for more than a few weeks. I wish I had been more attentive to them... se la vie.

I am using it for around a month now and so far I dont have any problems with it. I like the feature to switch between kilograms and pounds.
