A robust and reliable mechanical balance of a sober and harmonious design, with a wide and very stable plateau (a man of 44 footwear like to be comfortable without toes overflowing ...) and a giant screen to large highly visible figures (essential for myopic! need to put on his glasses to weigh). If we do not change location continuously, it is unnecessary to adjust the tare, very stable moreover. After years of electronic scales with leaking batteries or mechanisms that seize up because of the inherent moisture in a bathroom, I finally found my happiness! Excellent choice I recommend.
