Whether you’re trying to shed a few pounds, record your weight for health reasons or just maintain your current physique, you need a reliable scale. Don’t fret: we found the perfect scale for you.
According to over 10,000 reviews, the Etekcity digital body bathroom scale is an absolute lifesaver. It has a near-perfect 4.5 star rating, and provides trustworthy results. Plus, at just $17 (originally $20), the scale is as affordable as it is attractive.
With four high-precision sensors that deliver results with 0.2 pound accuracy, plus sturdy eight-millimeter tempered glass, it’s a super-strong scale that will help you keep track of your weight for years to come. The Etekcity provides measurements in both pounds and kilograms, and the auto-calibrated platform is super easy to set up.
What makes the Etekcity different from any other scale? Its accuracy. Trying to shift your weight or trick the system? The scale will know — and it will give you the same number, regardless if you think leaning on your left leg makes you feel thinner.
“I've finally got a scale that isn't annoying,” one happy reviewer noted. “I've had several scales from various stores and they all invariably give a different weight almost every time I step on. I could step on and off four or five times in a row and get three or four different weights, and not just by a fraction but by a pound or more. This one is different! It weighs consistently every time. It came with little extra pads to level it, which seems like an indication that it is well made and so, likely to be more accurate. I like the look and it's a bit bigger than the chain store ones. And it did not cost any more than I've paid in those stores. Overall, I have to say this is the best scale, by far, that I've ever owned. I highly recommend it.”
One five-star reviewer said it best: “Attractive and accurate. Came nicely packaged and works great. Came with a fabric tape measure with a cool locking and retractable feature to get accurate measurements even in places you can't see before you move the tape. Unexpected and a pleasant surprise. My favorite thing about this scale is that you can see right through it to the floor beneath so it's very low profile - most people won't even notice it so it's not a glaring feature in my bathroom. Digital readout stabilizes and stays visible for several moments after you step off the scale so that you aren't fluctuating while you lean forward to read it. So happy with this purchase!”
