Simple, it does not have superfluous: no memory (we all have and thus are able to remember our weight weighing to another ...) or analysis of the composition of your body ( fat percentage, weight dropsy, etc ...) that need to know how to draw useful conclusions! It gives weight "reliable" (successive weighed in exactly the same conditions give the same result) and that's all we ask! Sober, goes everywhere and lightweight, it can slip under furniture to be discreet. Each move requires resetting with a simple press of the foot on the board and takes only 10 seconds. Very easy to clean because no pits or grooves for storing dirt. Resistance level is usual time will tell. I do not regret my choice, good quality / price ratio.
