This scale does one thing, and one thing only: it measures your weight accurately. I have been using this scale since June 2010 and am very happy with it. The scale looks great, has a big 3.5″ blue backlit display and, most importantly, is very accurate. I checked its accuracy with dumbbells and it’s right on the money. Every other digital scale I’ve owned would keep the last measured weight in memory, and the next time the scale was used it would show the memorized result if the new weight was not at least one pound higher or lower. Not so with the EatSmart scale: I weighed myself and then grabbed a water bottle with 8 oz of water in it, and it was dead-on.
