After unpacking, we discover a wide plateau and fine, shiny appearance. The startup is intuitive, fortunately so, because the little booklet provided is succinct and written toddler. The connection with Android or Apple smartphone is easy. We then asked to create an account on Withings for monitoring weight. The connection to the wireless network is hardly more complicated since it merely requires the password entry. Small flat, I hastened to glue small feet provided to see me in a comment that they were designed to operate on carpet. They are merely sealed together by an adhesive pad and are therefore not repositionable over time. They do not bother me with wooden floors currently. The scale is accurate to about 100g and arrows to balance its weight on the pan to avoid errors of judgment and it is a very good idea. 4 AA Duracell batteries are provided, they will be replaced by rechargeable batteries. Only flat, black glass top is cold when it goes up and arch "prints" on it. Regular cleaning with glass cleaner will be needed to keep the beauty of the object.
Update April 2014: - An email telling me that my balance firmware has been updated, in case of risk of rain in the day, an umbrella appears at the end of weighing!
