[Electronics-Talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: Bathroom scale

[Baracco, Andrew W]

I still have one of those AFB scales that I bought over 30 years ago, and you'll have to pry it away from my cold dead fingers.

I have never had much luck with talking scales. I emphasize that this has been my own personal experience and should not be taken as a general rule or warning. David Andrews use advice is excellent.
Many years ago, the American Foundation for the Blind had a scale with a waist-high touch dial and I found it quite satisfactory. I don't believe it's made anymore.

I got one like that from Amazon.  I boxed it up, sent it back,  and got a refund.  I also ordered another one.  It is one that will tell you the body fat percentage too.   I am not at home, so I can't say exactly which one it is, but I can look when I get home.  I just wanted to let you know I had a similar experience with that glass one.

Before you trash your talking scale, and buy a new one, try replacing the battery.

Subject: [Electronics-Talk] Bathroom scale

I have a talking bathroom scale I got at Amazon.  It looks like a flat piece of glass with feet.

This morning, I weighed myself, and the answer didn't sound right, so I did it again to see if I got something similar.  I weighed myself 5 times before I got 2 similar numbers, and the range was about 10 pounds between 1 minute and the next.  So this scale is pretty much useless.

Can anyone recommend a talking scale that's reasonably accurate?

Thanks.

Tracy
