Homedics SC-540 LCD 400 lb/180 kg Capacity Bath Scale with Body Composition Scanner

We chose this scale because of the variety of metrics and the larger capacity, since my husband was 335 lbs and I was 270 lbs. Unfortunately, the scale would only measure weight, not anything else! It kept giving us error messages, regardless of how long we stood on the scale. We followed the troubleshooting directions to no avail. Thinking we just got a faulty machine, we returned the product and ordered a replacement (Amazon was great!) but the replacement has the same exact problem. The only difference is that it has worked twice in the past 4 weeks, depending on how lucky you are that day. The other problem we've had is that even though it does measure weight, the scale is so wobbly that you can get up to a 5 pound variation within minutes just depending on how still you stand. It is on a hard-surface, so the instability cannot be attributed to that.Overall, we are very unhappy with the product. We have chosen a  TANITA BF-625 Duo Memory Body Fat Analyzer / Scale  that performs much better!

** You purchased this item on December 15, 2008. **Guess what. It's still working and I would still recommend it to anyone. It does everything it should do and the battery life is awesome.People getting "Err" are like my boyfriend most likely. You have to keep standing there for a few seconds after your weight pops up before the other stats will appear. It doesn't even take that long. He's just impatient.

Bought this is a gift for someone and they couldn't be happier with it. As the purchaser I thought it was a great price!

I thought this would be a good item with the Homedics brand. I was wrong. Here it is, less than a year later and this doesn't work...at all.When you step on the scale, it has the dots going across the bottom, then says Error every time. I know this wasn't expensive, but I didexpect better than this.

I just got this scale today and it is very cheap looking. i.. Accuracy is not consistent. I will be returning, i don't like it.

This scale won't even tell me my weight! I would really like to return it. Somebody please tell me how.

This item is a replacement for the one that stop working after four years of use. I like the accuracy, that it goes to 400 pounds ( I am a little big ) and that is not expensive.

Product keeps giving me an error message which the instruction booklet doesn't address at all. It doesn't stay lit up long enough to comprehend all the data it gives. I hate it, but it only cost $20 and wouldn't be worth returning after I pay for shipping.
