Health O Meter Bathroom Scale Full View Large Oversize Dial 330LB

This is a reliable analogue scale. I've seen some reviews that mention having to frequently calibrate it, and I'm wondering if it's a lack of familiarity with this type. The needle will have some play with the starting position. This is normal, and has been the case with every cheap analogue scale I've ever had. It's also correctable without having to adjust the dial.How to use: Lay it flat and zero it with the dial. Tap the top a couple times. Rezero it. You're done. Now whenever you go to use it, look at the needle's position. If it isn't on zero, tap it with your foot. You'll only have to do it once it twice. When the needle lines up at zero, step on. Your readings will be consistent every time. Note: I find this adjustment is needed more often when you move it in between uses, but you still won't have to do a lot of manual calibration. The taps work fine.If you don't want to go through that, you're going to have to pay more or get a digital, but even with digital, many will suggest calibrating it with a short press before each use. I'd rather have the analogue, and save on batteries.

I went through 2 or 3 different digital scales. My uncle would stand on it and it would turn off immediately. It worked fine when I stood on it but turned off for him. The problem with the digital scales is you have to stand perfectly still for it to read and wait for it to post the weight. (I learned this through a review) My uncle however has neuropathy and shakes alot. He can't stand still long at all so the shakes were throwing the scale off. This scale is perfect for him. It has BIG numbers. The weight hand shakes with him on it but atleast he can get his weight or close to it and can look down and read it with ease. I hope this helps someone.

Works good so far. Easy to adjust, and light weight

I don't know about you guys but I've always preferred this sort of scale over the digital one. This is just like the traditional days and I'm glad they have this for sale.

Cheaply built and not very accurate.

I prefer these types of scales to the digital ones, as I’ve found too many times that I get different readings on those within a 5 minute period. These types of scales are more accurate when weighing myself one minute compared to a couple minutes later with no change.

Works as expected. Enjoy not having to worry about replacing batteries or any of the other hassles that go with electronic scales. Easy to clean and no assembly required.

I wanted a basic analog bathroom scale and this one was the right price point and had good reviews. The issue I have is that it is hard for me to see the display. It does seem consistent and I can see the numbers, but I feel like it’s hard to differentiate within 5 pound difference. The numbers are every 10 pounds (160-170-180), and any value in between is too small for me to read. I want to see the accurate number within .5 pounds - not have to guess.
