Customer Review

Before I bought this scale, I had read and found that there is seemingly no scale with 4-sensor technology that did not get very different reviews many reviews. I have therefore thought that these products have an enormous variation in quality in manufacturing. But after I've tested this level detail now, I have come to the conclusion that the negative reviews are due in this product on the bad instruction manual. The manual consists namely of only a few multi-lingual keywords and number of pictures. Among other things, a picture indicates that the balance should not be placed on uneven ground. But that is much too imprecise. Here is my review and simultaneously the manual, which should complement the manufacturer:

Due to the 4-sensor technology, the weight is determined by summing the measured values ​​of the four sensors in the feet of the scale. (Have also been stressed as some other Rezensoren) This requires that the scale on a hard and level surface absolutely must be installed. On carpeting, especially on soft or deep carpet, the feet of the scale are so shaky that with reliable measured values ​​can not be calculated. On carpeting actually comes in almost every measure out another value of around 2 to 3 kg is also often too high. The balance needs tiles, parquet or hard plastic as a support surface. In addition, it must be ensured that the balance wobbles no little (!!!). Also hard floors are often not precisely enough. The notes you, by tapping on the corners of the foot rest. If the balance is shaking or while rattling, it is not correct. It must then be postponed until a completely steady position is found. The feet are all exactly to the floor down to the tenth of a millimeter. Otherwise come about wrong and changing measurement results. If the balance is however exactly flat and not shaking, then one can expect repeatable and thus largely correct results. More than 1kg usually too high - If you change the place of installation, the first measurement is even with correct installation usually wrong. It was not until the second measurement after the position change, the results are constant. This is probably due to that the balance has not been correctly detected by the change in position of the zero value, which apparently moves through the adjustment. But then arise again and again the same value, no matter how you step on the scale. Uneven weight distribution provides the same readings. This is so despite the limitations of the technology a very good result. According to the manufacturer FAQ measurement accuracy is about three times the display accuracy of his scales. In this model, there are therefore 300 g. So you can not expect that you get exactly 200 g disappears, after drinking a glass of water. This can sometimes be the case, and sometimes not.

So much for accuracy. My copy thus in line with expectations, if you set it up properly. However, the strong dependence on the correct installation location is a handicap, for which I have given star deduction, because who wants to change his balance because of lack of space again, or store it in a closet, will take one minute at each setting up until a steady position is found. That's somewhat annoying.

As for the color, I have to agree with the previous speakers: the balance is bright-turquoise, do not know. This is probably because the white paint is under the glass, and makes the glass for the turquoise glow. But it has the advantage that the surface is actually glass, and not paint, and therefore less sensitive during cleaning. The device is easy to clean, because the indicator is below the glass. There is no upper slots or edges where dirt accumulates, which is difficult to remove.

The non-illuminated display is easy to read adequately in normal room lighting. When the scale but with only artificial light is on the wall and the shadow of the body falls on the display during weighing, it is just difficult to read. The display remains after leaving the balance for a few seconds standing, so that they can be read afterwards. One sees only while it is not know if she has already reported by flashing the completion of the measurement process. Only the box will remain available namely, if one assigns. If this is too annoying, you should rather choose a model with lighting. These devices need, however due to the higher power consumption of the lighting more batteries.
