The Health o Meter HDL820KD-18 Digital Scale with LCD provides the perfect way to track your weight goals, thanks to its fast, accurate measurement capability. Just step on the scale, and in seconds you'll have the information you need for your weight loss or weight maintenance program. Easier to read than old-fashioned dial scales, this scale takes the guesswork out of reading your weight by clearly displaying your information on a large LCD.

Display: 1.3-inch LCD display
Increments: 0.2 lb / 0.1 kg
Max. weight: 330 lb / 150 kg
Warranty: 5 years
Functional, Streamlined Design Simplifies Your Life
Unlike old dial scales with tiny, difficult to decipher indexes, the HDL820KD has a 1.3-inch LCD and clear digital numerals that make reading your weight easy.

The scale itself has a slim design with a silver-tone platform and elegant transparent glass accents. Complementing any home decor, the scale is both striking and conveniently sized. It measures 13.4 x 12.7 x 2.7 inches and weighs 4.2 pounds, meaning that unlike bulky, unsightly dial scales, you will never need to store it away. With your scale in view, you will be more likely to measure your progress and reach your weight goals.

This unit runs on one long-life lithium battery (included). Replacing the battery is easy, and a digital readout lets you know when your battery life is low. And for peace of mind, the HDL820KD is covered by a five-year limited warranty.

Precise Measuring Capability for Accurate Results
The Health o Meter Digital Scale accurately measures weight in .2-pound increments up to 330 pounds. Such precise measurement makes reaching your weight goals easier, because it means you can learn to understand your weight variation patterns and track how your body responds to different foods, habits, and exercise.

When setting weight objectives for yourself, it is important to have an accurate starting point so you can correctly measure your results. Older bathroom scales featuring a spring action can become inaccurate as the mechanism wears out, meaning that your weight may be off by several pounds each time you step on the scale. The HDL820KD eliminates this problem by "zeroing out"--calibrating itself to begin precisely at zero for better accuracy and, ultimately, better weight control.

Before each weighing, use your foot to gently tap on the lower corner of the scale to calibrate. Once the scale has zeroed out, step on--your weight will be displayed in a matter of seconds. Your weight will continue to be visible for a short time until the LCD turns off automatically.

The Importance of Regular Weight Monitoring to a Healthy Lifestyle
Research has shown that people who regularly weigh themselves lose more weight and prevent more weight gain than people who weigh themselves infrequently. This is because weighing yourself more often can help you recognize your body's patterns of weight gain and loss and can help you modify your lifestyle before your weight becomes difficult to control.

Regular weight monitoring will help you learn about how your body responds to different foods, eating habits, and exercise. That means you can learn to understand your weight variation patterns so you won't get discouraged and halt your weight management progress. Also, frequent weighing will fuel your motivation for reaching your weight goals, keeping you on track and encouraged along the way.

It told me I'm fatter than I though ;-)

I have had this scale for a little more than a month and so far I am quite pleased...except for the lack of deniability. Not that the scale is inaccurate mind you, the fluctuations are consistent with what you should expect your body to do throughout the day. I have weighed myself repeatedly with an accuracy of less than a pound of fluctuation which can also be expected depending on where your center of gravity is in relation to your standing position on the scale.
Overall I find the scale to be very consistent and accurate (and my wife agrees, just don't tell her I said so) and would recommend purchasing this scale. However, the display has large, clear, bold numbers so if you are in denial, like me, and don't want a scale that reaches out and slaps you with a number you didn't want to see...get a scale you can't read!

It broke after a year and a half.

I loved this scale. It was accurate, easy to use, good looking. It worked fine for about 18 months .... now its gives me a reading of 116.8 pounds (Yes! I lost 15 pounds!), then immediately after are reading of 156.2 (GASP! I've never broken 150, not even at the doctor's after lunch). Then goes into E mode. I took the battery out and had it tested and the battery was perfect! So I put it back in (its been about 3 hours) and it read 158.6 .... and now I'm looking for a new scale. I weight about 133-134 every day until today and today I think I'll use my first weight of 116 and try to gain back......or do I use my last weight and go on a severe diet? I guess I'll see what the WII says.....

(This scale says it has a 4 year warranty, but of course I don't have the original packing information .... I know when it was purchased because it's in my Amazon history, but that doesn't help!)

Accurate and Consistent

While there was quite a range in the reviews for this product, overall they looked positive, so I took the plunge and bought this scale. I have been very happy with my purchase. I can step on and off several times in a row and get a very consistent reading (within 0.2lbs each time). It's a sleek looking scale, seems accurate and is very consistent. My only recommendation for improvement would be a backlight for the screen, as the readout can be a little hard to read if the room isn't brightly lit or the screen falls in my shadow.

Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and recommend this as an economical scale that meets the basic needs.

So far so good.

Easy to read and pretty consistent. As to durability I cannot comment. The biggest problem for me was getting it out of the box it comes in.
