We finally decided to order a new scale and phase out our old (DDR) level, although they still worked well. To live on the amount of time, we decided for a digital scale. After endless research regarding a reliable scale we ended at this scale. It may certainly be a matter of opinion, which one buys ultimately. For us it was crucial that it weighs quite accurately. On frills we could therefore dispense (eg. Body fat measurement) We have found that it is not so easy to find a reliable accurate measuring scales, because most have the problem, indicate different values after repeated weighing. To be honest, it makes this scale also, but to a relatively small degree (+/- 1kg). In my opinion, this is normal, since the common scale is not precisely calibrated. What can the scale: Cradles Storage systems of the measured values on 4 different locations - "Talk" (the nice lady says the values so loud that they each also understands in the next room.) -Large display with large luminous numbers Switching is done by touching the surface. Off after a few seconds automatically. Conclusion: Starting from the value for money, certainly recommended.
