I was looking scales easily locatable under my bathroom column, but not too small to easily balance it. Now it scales Salter is the only one I have found in this category. It measures 25 X 25 cm square and 25 mm thick and can also be stored vertically on its base, but I have not opted for this solution. His feet are rubber for use on hard ground, but are replaceable feet (included in the pack) specifically for the carpeting. It is important to read the user manual as it turns to vibration: you have to put his foot on the set of scales or downright ride it once to activate it, and then get off. The zero is displayed and can be traced back to weigh. The reading is clear and the display remains in a few seconds after going below. I conducted several successive weightings and I did not observe weight change, and the measure seemed accurate (my old scales was out for some time). For information, slippers us respectively 34, 35, 36 and 43 and we had no problem to take on this scales without tightrope !!! From an aesthetic point of view, it is discreet and refined with its clear glass top (to store after use if you have small children). I was afraid he would get dirty quickly, but that is not the case. This is a basic scales, without memory function or impedance (A version exists: Salter Impedance Meter Compact), but that's what I was looking, and it seemed good value for money with its 15 year warranty!
