After the last two scales have given up the ghost with us in a relatively short time, we opted for this model of Soehnle. Both predecessors with us had body fat indicator functions. Nice reminder, but no one with us has used this durable. Rather, we had the impression that these additional functions have the scales finally carried off. When Soehnle was important to us that this is a brand product. Furthermore, the scale has a simple timeless design and a large, easy to read display. In addition, the operation comes with "normal" batteries that can be purchased cheaply at any supermarket or most anyway be available in the household. All these arguments speak for this Sohnle balance that we have now for a few weeks in operation. Some getting used to is the "antipfreie" immediate display of the weight. So you immediately arises on the scale, the display jumps to and immediately shows the weight. In older models had always only be switched on and then enter. Here in this new technology you get the feeling that zeroing is not adjusted and the weight could be measured differently. However, this is not so far, there are no major differences in a plurality of weighing operations in succession. Therefore, 5 stars for this rock-solid balance.
