Digital Bathroom Scale - Heavy Duty Electric Body Weight Measuring Device - Home Bath Scale, Easy to Read, Backlit Display - Accurate Dietary Weighing (Black)

When our scale died, I spent some time researching Consumer Reports and Amazon to find a replacement. We wanted a simple digital scale whereby we could just step onto the scale, and a correct weight would appear and if we did that multiple times in a row, it delivered the same weight. My complaint about our previous scale is we had to touch the scale to get it to turn on, wait for the 0.00 to appear, then step on. If we wanted to double-check for accuracy, we had to "wait" several seconds, touch it again and sometimes have to wait a few more seconds before the 0.00 appeared. Oftentimes the weight wasn't the same. Vive delivers. It is sleek, lightweight. Step on, get your weight, step off. Wanna check again. Step on, get your weight (won't vary from previous 30 second), step off. Simple and accurate. And it wasn't even on Consumer Report's Top Ten List (what does Consumer Reports know?). No, it doesn't talk to me, doesn't calculate BMI, or fat percentages (highly dubious at best) or give me the weather report . It does what I need it to do: project an accurate weight at a given moment in time. I LOVE and HIGHLY recommend this little marvel of engineering!

Got my scale a few days ago, and so far so good!Out of the box I set it to LBS rather than KG, and it weighed correctly. Looks great, easy to read without my glasses on, and large enough for my size 12 feet. Time will tell and I'll update my rating in the future. I hope for another success story for an Amazon purchase!!I appreciate all the reviews people put in "Good & Bad" to help my buying decision!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update after 2-weeks.... This scale works great and seems to be very accurate.I normally weigh myself 3-times just to check for discrepancies and so far no issues at all! My old scale would vary quite a bit so the Vive scale has resolved that issue. I take my weight readings very seriously as I’ve been on a diet since September 2014 and lost 35lbs, tracking my progress and writing it down daily keeps me honest with myself.If you are looking for a scale I ”highly recommend this one”! It is stylish with large bright numbers, has a very good size platform, and most of all accurate.

The VIVE scale was quick to unpack; just had to pull the plastic slip out of the battery compartment to activate the batteries and then change the display to pounds (super quick adjustment). Our weights as measured by the scale were consistent with our other bathroom scale and our doctors' scales. Weight display remains consistent if you get back on the scale again soon after weighing. The bright display is nice for us nearsighted folks. I cannot say enough about the striking appearance of the scale. We've recently downsized and now need to have a scale in a bathroom that is used daily by us as well as our guests. For this reason, we were reluctant to place a scales in this bathroom. However, the scale actually blends in somewhat with the variegated shades-of-brown tile. At the same time, the high-tech look lends a modern edge. The scale certainly lives up to the other great reviews we read on Amazon before ordering.

Several of the 1-star and 2-star reviewers are correct in that this is a terrible "bathroom" scale. Load-cell technology doesn't work well in high humidity environments. Glass is slippery, so you shouldn't use this with wet feet. Glass is fragile, so care must be taken when moving. This scale has squared-off corners, so stubbing bare toes against the corners could be painful. Probably not the ideal scale in a household with children.I don't have any free weights, so I can't measure accuracy. But based on comparisons with the scale in my doctor's office - which is less than ideal - accuracy seems to be as advertised: plus or minus 0.9 lbs at 200 lbs. Repeatability seems very good: a worst-case 0.2 lb across multiple tests at the same ambient temperature. Load cells are temperature sensitive - roughly a 1% difference across 30 degrees F. - which is easily possible during the summer months. Make certain to weigh yourself at the same time each day.I like the clean appearance of the black-finished glass - which is why I selected this scale. The size of the digital display is as advertised and works fine for me, but some users may prefer a larger display. I don't use this scale in a bathroom, so the environmental limitations aren't a concern for me. For my specific needs, this is a 5-star scale, but I deducted a star since this is advertised as a "bathroom" scale.

So far I have zero problems with this scale. It is very elegant and well made and I cannot find anything truly wrong with it. Weight could be a pound or so off from I guess what you might call a perfect scale but that doesn't bother me much. This is a consistent scale. I can get on and off the scale and it does not register different weights like the claims of some reviewers here. At least for me. The blue LED is perfect. The scale requires no tapping and is a no-nonsense type of scale with a beautiful glass finish. It's decently heavy but thin and has some padded feet for hard surfaces. You can switch pounds out for kilograms if you need. I can't give it less than 5 stars because so far it has done nothing wrong. I'll update with battery life at some point.

Looks great, but the scale doesn’t seem 100% accurate. If I weigh myself several times in a row the weight displayed varies by up to .5 lbs.
