Originally disappointed, now impressed . . . . see update!,
 Â
. . . . in light of all the glowing reviews read, and based on other purchasers’ experience I purchased this product. Looks good, very wide – as advertised, but disappointingly inconsistent. Followed all instructions, to the letter, but never managed to get it to weigh the same twice. Both my husband and I tried, and both got varying weights. Not helpful when embarking on a weight reduction regime, so it is unfortunately having to go back. Thank goodness Amazon’s return system is so user-friendly.
Update August 1st 2010
I was somewhat surprised to receive an email response from the Vice President of EatSmart Products within about 20 minutes of the posting the above. He assured me I must have received a lemon (his words), which apparently happens from time to time. He also went on to say, and I quote, “I was hoping to get you a replacement immediately under our warranty program. Its the least we can do after putting a defective product in your hands.”
I was duly impressed and told him so in my responding email. However, to date I have not received a replacement, nor do I now expect/want one to arrive. Having re-read other reviews of this and other EatSmart models, I believe this model is, in fact, a lemon. Other models seem to be consistently accurate, whereas, it appears, this particular model is not.
I am now looking elsewhere for a consistent and accurate scale.
Further update August 4th 2010
Today I received an unexpected package via FedEx. I had duly returned my ‘lemon’ and received a refund. I thought that was the end of the story. Not so! A new scale from EatSmart Products, with a letter from the Vice President, apologizing for the lemon and enclosing a new scale, which, he informed me, has been thoroughly tested for accuracy.
This accuracy I can confirm. Both my husband and I tested, and re-tested, and there was never a variation. I even tested it with one of my cats – spot on each time.
EatSmart clearly stand by their products, recognise there are ocassional flaws, and quickly correct the situation. I am a very impressed and happy customer. Obviously a company which values their name and reputation, and rightly so.

|Perfect for my whole family. Finally confident in my weights.,
 Â
I have anxiously awaited the release of this scale for some time and now that I finally have it I am even happier than I thought I could be. Everybody in my family is big. I am 6’4″, 375 pounds, so the need for a scale that could handle my weight was actually relatively tough to find. After talking to the folks at EatSmart, they convinced me to hold out for this one and I am glad I did.
The platform itself is the biggest individual selling point for me. Its probably a good five inches wider than the last scale I had. It gives me piece of mind that I am being properly weighed and I don’t have to worry about turning an ankle or worse because my feet are hanging off. The 440 lb capacity was also a must for me, and so far I have found it very accurate. It was within .2 lbs of the scale in my gym, so I am finally confident that I am loosing some weight. The backlit display is nice, but frankly unless you live in a cave I don’t think you need it as the display is so big to start with.
The fact that this company also seems to stand behind their products is big for me. At 350+ lbs I have gone through a few scales over the years, and after talking with the owners at Eatsmart I would not hesitate to buy from them again. Probably the best purchase of my young Amazon career.
