I have struggled to find bathroom scales that are accurate, reliable and of good quality. While not being cost-prohibitive. In the past I have used electronic scales, but the readings were all over the place. I had no confidence that the scale reported was accurate. Always too much weight! This time, I bought a Salter Speedo Dial Mechanical Bathroom Scale. I am not a swimmer. But, by the time I have finished showering my bathroom floor is akin to a swimming pool, only deeper. Unfortunately, the scale still fell short of my expectations. It didn't even receive a bronze medal. The Good + The black numbers leapt off the white background. And, the red needle provided an excellent contrast when showing the current weight. + The large dial made reading the current weight easy. + The texture of the foot pad safely gripped feet wet or dry. The Bad - The build quality is average. When held or carried it felt cheaper than it looked. - I weighed myself on multiple floor surfaces: wood, tiles and thin carpet. I was not confident that the readings were accurate. Having weighed myself at Boots, the readings were not even close in comparison. - I noticed that every time I had finished weighing in, I needed to recalibrate the scale. I did this via a small dial. It allowed me to set the red indicator bang on 0… momentarily. Yet, as soon as I stepped off the scale, the needle became unaligned, if not immediately, then later. I had to return these scales. I find if I don’t use accurate and reliable scales; it defeats the point of owning them. Am I in denial? Can I not admit the truth? Yet, I have not been shovelling in pork pies. I work out so much and thus burn calories. I eat so little and thus consume fewer calories. And so, I would expect my weight to move in a downward direction, not a spiral or the shape of a pork pie. I will go back to electronic scales. I have an eye on a specific model. It would double the money I spend, yet again. But, I am going to opt for the scales to have at least four sensors. I hope you found this review useful and it helped you to make an informed buying decision. Good luck with whatever your weight goals are for the year ahead and may you find the best scales for your needs.

This is an old fashioned-mechanical scale that has none of the bells and whistles of digital scales. A Which? recommendation I seem to remember.

Good quality, but very difficult to see weight, stones ok but pounds very small. Probably would not buy these again

Great scales in lbs and ounces

Weighing scales is cheap looking and not vaccinate. Will give you different weight reading every time you stand on it !.

The scales are as described they look good and are battery-free like the old scales. As for weighing accuracy, you have to periodically zero the scale, as the pointer also has a hysteresis (i.e., as it goes back to 0, depending on the previous weighing process). However, this is the case for all scales of this type. It is easy to read your weight in stones but a little more difficult in kilos and easy to stand on. Overall a good product.

Very good

Sehr schöne genaue Körber-Waage, von mir eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung.

Parece un buen producto pero no bien de precisión
