Always innacurate and now totally broken
This scale was always inaccurate as compared to all the other scales at my gym. It was 3-4lbs (or about 3%) off consistently. It then started to give totally different readouts each time I stepped on it, sometimes by more than 20lbs. Now it won't give readouts at all. I have to get another scale now, because this one is worthless.

Great scale
Great scale and at a great price. Not only was the scale on sale, but I believe the manufacturer was offering an additional discount through Amazaon at the time of purchase.The scall seems very accurate at displaying body weight. I can't tell how accruate the body composition (fat, water, bone, etc.) numbers are but it is a cool feature.One minor issue is that it is a little difficult to put the scale into the body composition analysis mode since you have to reach down an...

7th Review, 7th 5 star rating!! Great Scale
There may only be seven reviews for this scale, but there's a reason that all seven of us have rated this product with 5 stars; it is a marvelous machine. You get 5 numbers: weight, body fat, muscle mass, water percentage and bone mineral mass. There is an athletic setting and a regular setting. When I checked body fat (the most examined number) in both athletic and regular mode, the range of fat seemed consistent with a range for my height, weight and build. Obviously, each user will choose...

Works for me
I've been using this scale (Taylor 5599) for about 4 months and, so far, had no problems. I bought it new and the readings for weight and body fat seem to be about right. I would buy it again with no hesitation from my experience over the last few months. The scale was set up for myself and another user with ease. The manual is adequate but a little more information would be nice especially on the bone mass readings and their accuracy/usefulness particularly in (us) seniors. Cj

Great value
This scale measures body fat, weight, water content, muscle and bone mass. It is attractive and helpful in watching your health. It is also convenient with 4 different people settings.

Excellent Product
I recently started on the HCG protocol for weight loss. It requires that you weigh yourself everyday and needs accuracy so if something worked or didn't work the day before, you can adjust it the following day.I've have stepped on it 7 times in a row and only had one variation of .2lbs. I think you can trick it if you don't stand in the same spot every time (more towards the middle, more out to the side) and I can't guarantee by bathroom floor is perfectly level, so there you go.

Breaks after a month of regular use
After a month, it gave readings that varied by as much as 50 pounds between readings and a few minutes apart. After resetting the scale and feeding it fresh batteries - it did the same thing. It will now be weighing my garbage can from the inside. JUNK!!

accuracy and battery usage
This scale is awful. When I first got it, it said I weighed about 30 pounds more than I actually weigh. I tested it with other normal household goods. Still, it consistently overweighed them. So I returned it and got another one.The second one worked great-- for about two months. Then I noticed that the display was dim. Had it really drained the batteries in only two months? I replaced the batteries.The display was still dim. It was a defective scale --but now I could no...

I got a recording saying they had a heavy customer demand and that my call would be taken in order. I was given the option to leave my ph...

Broke after 2 weeks
Mine broke after 2 weeks. Won't turn on every time and weighs up to 75lb different in a 5 minute period. Save your money and get something else.
