The scale just sits there and works. That's all I ask of a scale. Unfortunately, all too many digital scales don't. Oh, they look nice. But they don't work reliably. This one does. It's too simple to not work. And you don't have to worry about batteries.Sometimes, the analog old ways are best.

I bought this scale in 2009 because I was tired of the inconsistencies of electronic scales. I could weigh myself on an electronic scale, step off, then step back on immediately and get a different weight or get a different weight by shifting my feet slightly. Doing the same with the Healthometer gives me the same weight every time and isn't affected if I shift my feet. I've had it now for 15 years and it still works perfectly. In that time, I adjusted the counter balance once to get it re-calibrated. Its only negative is its size, but for me, it's worth putting up with that to get a 100% reliable and accurate scale. I keep it in our guest bathroom and move it out when we have company.

For me, there really is no substitute for a medical scale. I already had one at home, but I'm staying at our family cabin in a remote area of British Columbia, and found myself having a "conversation" with the spring-style scale every morning: stepping on and off to see if I could get consistent results. Since I had recently lost some weight, I did not want to have a plus or minus factor of 3 pounds or so. Now I have this scale and can track my weight effectively. Hats off to the vendor for getting this delivered to me in Egmont, BC. The scale shows both metric weight and pounds.

I just received the Health O Meter Physician's Balance Beam Scale ($157 including shipping) yesterday. It required very little assembly (four nuts and one hook) that took less than 5 minutes once I read the instructions. There is a tool included that looks like a bracket that fits the nuts. The scale was well packed and arrived in good condition and it was delivered from Amazon in three days, which was quicker than I expected.Once set up the scale was off zero about a 1/4 of a pound. There is a simple screw adjustment on the left side that took about 15 seconds to zero the scale out.So far the scale is accurate and reliable. I can get off and on the scale and it weights me the same each time. I put known weights on the scale and it correctly weighted them.I was actually hoping for a little heavier construction, but for normal home use this should hold up several decades or longer. Also you need to put it on a solid floor, not carpet. Mine is on carpet which was not a solid enough base so I put a heavy wood board down on top of the carpet to form a hard surface base for it which took care of making it a solid base on which to rest.Overall I am very pleased with this scale for this price and I would recommend it to anyone needing an accurate home scale. For a medical office, or for very heavy usage, I would go with a balance beam scale that is a little heavier construction, but which of course will cost substantially more.I have been using or trying to use a very expensive digital bathroom scale for years and it would give almost random reading in a range sometimes as much as 20 pounds of variance on my weight from one minute to the next and only occasionally would it be accurate. It gave general information but nothing of value to someone dieting. The old spring style bathroom scales I grew up using were more reliable than that digital scale. After those scales, this medical scale is a real joy to use. I think a simple (non-digital) balance beam scale is the only way to go if you want accurate and consistent weight readings.Also at age 65 and after two major spinal surgeries it was nice to find out I only lost 1/2" in height from my youth.

This scale is very easy to put together, it is very accurate, and it is 100% consistent. It is a heavyweight - just like the scale the doctors use - not some flimsy imitation.I had a standard bathroom scale that wasn't inexpensive, but you could step onto it 3 times in a row and get 3 different readings that would vary by up to six pounds. When you are trying to figure out if you have lost or gained weight in a given week, that level of accuracy is useless. If you get on this scale 100 times in a row, it gives you the exact same, accurate weight every time. I can't overstate how important this is to staying motivated.I should note one more thing, because this confused me when I was trying to make a purchasing decision. I research things extensively (maybe obsessively) and I had noticed that some scales by this maker, seemingly of the same model, seemed to have a silver colored balance beam, and others seemed to have a black colored balance beam. When I got the scale I realized that the balance beam is reversible, with one side being in pounds and the other side being in kilos. The two sides are different colors, so when you are looking at various pictures that do not show model numbers please understand that a different colored balance beam does not necessarily indicate a different model of scale. This is important because if you research these types of scales you will find that some sites that rate these types of scales have brought in experts to test the various scales under scientific conditions, and the Health o Meter came out on top. These sites don't give model numbers, but the Health o Meter scale they show looks just like this one, but for the fact that a different side of the balance beam is showing, and but for the fact that it is way more expensive than Amazon sells it for.
