★☆☆☆☆
my particular scale was defective
Once I got the scale, I discovered there is a "key" on the bottom that must first be removed before the scale will operate. This didn't seem to be referenced in the directions.
Then I tried testing the scale with gym weights.
A 10 lb plate weighed 4 lbs.
A 15 lb dumbbell weighed 8 lbs.
A 20 lb dummbell weighed 15 lbs.
My own weight (based on recent doctor's scale) was off in the reverse direction by 25%.
The scale has been returned as defective.
