Health o meter HDL050DQ-05 Digital Scale

I've had thisscale for years and it works like a champ. I've had to replace the battery once, but other than that, no problems. I like the fact it holds two weights in the memory. This way I can view my weight in the morning as well as the evening. It really helps me keep on track.

This scale worked for a day or two, then it locked up displaying the last reading that it took. No amount of stepping on and off fixed it, and two days later the battery was dead. At this point I got the scale that it was to replace back out of the trash. I was only replacing it because I didn't want to be bothered finding the right battery for it. Fortunately the batteries were not that hard to find and only $3 for a pair. Since the same battery fit the new scale as well, I went ahead and placed it in there, and the new scale was now working, and has been working for several weeks now. Last night I decided to run an experiment. I stepped on and off the new scale several times and compared the readings. The numbers varied over a range of more than four pounds. This makes this scale almost useless to me.

I'm really not sure how accurate the scale is. I can weigh myself a few times and it comes in within a pound, I think that's pretty good. BUT it's a cheap scale. I had mine less than 2 weeks and I dropped my hair dryer on it. What 3 foot fall.. And it has a giant hole. I had a model of this scale I bought in the store years ago and loved it. I should of stuck with one from the store they are a thicker plastic.

Very lightweight easy to use scale. I basically bought this to keep track of my sick cat's weight. It works pretty well, but doesn't have the capability to keep track of 2 people's weights as the description claimed. But I don't need that option so it doesn't really matter to me.

The scale is very sleek-looking, but doesn't seem to be the most durable model I've seen. I like that it measures in tenths, by .2's (.2, .4, .6, .8) and that it is easy to use ('kick' corner, wait, step). I got the black one which seems to show dust, but our last one was white which collected dirt in the raised bumps. I'd probably get the black one again.
