Etekcity Digital Body Weight Bathroom Scale, Large Blue LCD Backlight Display, High Precision Measurements,6mm Tempered Glass, 400 Pounds by Etekcity

We have been using this Etekcity digital scale for a year now in our our home are very pleased with the scale so far. We had purchased this scale to replace our previous Sunbeam manual , Spring loaded bathroom scale which was horribly inaccurate and deliberated for a considerable amount of time between this scale and the FitBit Aria smart scale . In the end because of the huge price difference and very positive reviews on this scale made us go with this one

Design, Construction & Build
————————————-
– The scale is feels heavy for its size mainly due to the thick, monolithic glass sheet stepping surface of the scale
– All our fears or cracked or broken glass due to stepping on it frequently, bumping or dropping it were unfounded in the past year ( we did all of them !) , so its definitely sturdy and well built
– The two tone black-sliver finish on the scale looks ultra modern and chic
– The digital readouts are large and backlit in a pleasant not-too-strong blue which is visible both in light and complete darkness. I often check my weight on the scale during midnight bathroom visits.

Long Term Accuracy
—————————
– When we initially purchased this scale i used a 10 lb Rice bag to measure its accuracy and it was always within 0.2 lb of 10 lb with repeated tests, which is very accurate for a digital scale and well suited for measuring body weight
– Another pointer to the accuracy of this scale is that the weight that we got for our toddler son from his pediatrician using a professional balance scale matches the results we got from this scale

I tried the same accuracy test today after a whole year of use & abuse:
10 lb Basmati Rice Bag : Scale Measured = 10.4 lb
6lb Dumbbells : Scale Measured = 5.8 lb

As you can see that even after one year the scale is fairly accurate , for all I know it might be 100% accurate as well as I have no way of certifying that the 10lb rice bag or the dumbbells are infact their true stated weights.

Battery Life
—————-
– The scale is still using the two original AAA that came with the package even after a year of frequent, daily use so I’d say its great!

Cons
———-
– About the only con about this scale is that the glass surface, being glass, needs frequent cleaning as it shows water stains. we usually wipe it with a damp cloth once every week so its not too bad. If you are going worry about keeping it spotless always then you’ll going to have a hard time 🙂

Overall we are very pleased with our purchase and couple of our family friends have also purchased it after seeing it in our home and can highly recommend this scale if your are looking for a good looking , inexpensive and accurate digital scale.

I do really like this scale! I feel like between it and the Hume body pod this one is a much more reasonable price and still really accurate. I actually compared it to the super expensive one at my doctor’s office and it’s dialed in right like the one in my doctor’s office. It’s a good size and it connects super easily to my Wi-Fi so I don’t have any issues with that and it tracks everything really nicely for me in the app. Overall I would say if you were looking for a cheaper scale than the human body pod this one is the way to go.

This glass scale is sturdy yet easy to use.
It reads the weight in both pounds and kilograms.
It helps me watch for fluctuations in my weight.
Because it is glass, it can be hard to see in a shadow. I keep mine out of the foot path and in a lighted area for safety.

Using it about 2 weeeks. Nice improvement over our old bath scale. Very easy to read. Very eye appealing. Scale is accurate to 0.1 pounds.

Very reliable scales. Gives consistent results and does not jump all over the place. Very happy.
