Naked Scale Review

Product: Zenith home scale
Purchased: Zellers
Price: aprox. $25.00

I optimistically purchased this product a couple months ago. I saw results right away after developing enthusiastic plans for getting the best results from my new purchase. I initially felt encouraged by how good the scale worked.

It measures 11.25" x 11.25", has a sturdy platform to stand on, is a nice shade of black and it's digital numbers are large and easy to read.

The surface is dimpled, like a golf ball, which made it comfortable to stand on. It was easy to step on to and easy to step off (though I always didn't feel very good after stepping off after it's reading). The pocked surface provided good grip, and the reviewer didn't note any slipping while standing on it.

However, the more I used the scale, and the less enthusiastic I felt towards my plan to use to advantageously and the more I became dismayed at the products reliability and accuracy. Over time, the 'modulation' and scale feedback left me doubting it. I tried to bring it back to the store where I bought it, explaining to a sales associate it's flaws. He assured me it was "user error" and wouldn't refund my money.

I really wanted to like this product, but found it wouldn't give me the feedback that I wanted to see. It really let me down. Here's the readout from today:

(that's pounds - lbs)

no need for rectangles

I am hoping that after a break-in period the scale will begin to show the results that I hoped for, and saw, when I first bought it.
