Customer Rating: Summary: Weighing in on Salter 9180 Comment: This is a great product and it's very easy to set up and use. It stores your profile information but not your previous weigh-in sessions (which is thought to be a great thing by some members of the household) Very easy to use and large numbers are easy to see. More attractive than most scales with this set of features. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Accurate Scale Comment: I needed a scale that measured consistently and accurately to monitor a medically prescribed diet plan. This scale has worked great. It's dead one every day. If you get on it 4 different times in a 4 minute span, it will measure the same every time. I don't know whether the body fat thing is accurate but it seems to work fine and was easy to set up. Customer Rating: Summary: wait and weight and wait Comment: I purchased this scale to measure weight only. I don't care about the other functions and therefore am not reviewing them. This scale is absolutely consistent. You step on it ten times in succession and you will receive the same reading each time. The other scales I've owned or tried are never consistent.
The aesthetics alone almost make it worth the purchase price.
The only negative is the delay (4-5 seconds)from the time you tap it with your foot (to turn it on and for it to calibrate)until you can step on the scale.
I'd give it a fifth star if not for that. Of all the other scales I've seen, tried and read reviews of, this would be my Only choice. Customer Rating: Summary: Good looks, Poor performance Comment: The Salter 9180 has great looks and works great as a scale, but the body fat analyser on two units failed after a short time of use. Both of them displayed an "ERR" message when trying to calculate body fat and water percentage. Amazon was fantastic on exchanging the first unit and then issuing a refund on the second unit - a no hassle experience. That was not the case when I tried to contact Salter's U.S. office for techincal assistance - on hold with voice recording or busy signal for hours. Never did get through. Customer Rating: Summary: Good, but not perfect Comment: The Good - Feel like I am getting a good reading/measurement everytime
The Bad - You have to bend down (like the above poster says) to be able to select the user to see BMI and water levels...
The Ugly - The corners probably should of been more rounded. I havn't got hurt or anything, but I think someone stumbling around at night could possible get hurt if they jam there foot into the corner of the scale...
