This bathroom scale is well designed, works reliably, and is pleasant to look at. It shows weight in increments of 0.2 pounds and is probably much more precise than that because I found it to be 100% repeatable. I believe it to be about ten times more precise and more repeatable than older spring-type scales. And the weight reading does not fluctuate when one shifts one’s weight around while standing on the scale. That is a huge advantage over the spring-type models – some of which would show several pounds of deviation when one shifted weight while standing on the scale. Once you have seen the EatSmart Precision Digital scale in operation, you will want to own one.

I find it interesting to measure body weight with 0.2 lbs precision and to observe changes in weight over days or weeks, and even at different hours of the same day. That helps follow one’s weight control regimen. Amazingly, it even motivates me to control my weight because I can see the effects promptly and conveniently. This newer model does not require “tapping” the scale before a measurement – as the older model did. Instead, there is nothing to prepare – just step on it and the weight shows up within seconds.

It seems that this scale does more than measure and display weight digitally instead of mechanically as the older style scales did. Rather, the amazing stability of the reading – regardless of how one shifts one’s weight around while standing on the scale – suggests that the designers measure the weight at several points – probably four – and display the sum of the readings from the different measuring points. I do not know if that is precisely how they do it – but it is clear that their approach is sensible and, most importantly, performs outstandingly.

In some: 5 stars for design, 5 stars for performance, and 5 stars for appearance of the scale.
The seller, too, gets 5 stars for packaging, shipping, and timeliness.

I received the apple Macbook Pro on August 10, which is later than the initial predicted time it was supposed to arrive. When the computer arrived, the outer box was torn and crumpled in and had a foot print on it. The tape was broken and dirt all over the box, mainly on one side. The inner box was crumpled in and had water stains. Apparently, the box was out in the rain or got soaked in water, and was damaged when transporting.
Thankfully, there was no apparent damage with the computer.

This extreme abuse in shipping should be known to all when you order this item or other from Amazon. Sure you can send items back, but that doesn’t guarantee the next item would be treated the same way. I am very reluctant to purchase anything from Amazon, since I don’t know if I am going to receive the items on time or in good condition.

I spent over 2000.00 on a the computer, and I expected it to not be banged around or shipped in the rain and kicked and torn.

Instead of sending the item back, I would even prefer to get some credit, in order for Amazon to try to, at least, keep my business.

We also have a Prius. This has worked perfectly for us. We store it in the compartment between the seats along w/ the cord. No complaints. Sturdy.
