Salter Traditional Mechanical Bathroom Scale – Doctor’s Style Bodyweight Scale, Easy Read Dial, Weigh Up To 150kg / 23 st 7 lb, Instant Readings, Non-Slip, Extra Large Platform, No Batteries Needed

Looks great, well made. Good quality

Top quality product. Easy to read and reliable.

For the price they're well made and offer good value. They're consistent when used on a hard floor and ideal for general weight monitoring. The issue for me was that compared with calibrated medical scales there was a 2-3kg discrepancy. Due to a medical condition I require more accurate scales and had to pay the additional £50 for them.

I have always preferred the simplicity and reliability of mechanical scales. No need to faff about with 2032 cells every so often, no pseudoscientific pretense of body fat percentage analysis, no attempt to read your horoscopes. Simple and unpretentious, old-school, large dial, easy to read. The major irritation for me being that most scales like this in the UK have dual imperial/metric scales (needlessly cluttered if you're only going to weigh yourself in kilograms), with the imperial on the outer (bigger) ring -- making the metric more awkward to read. So in short, if you weigh yourself in kilograms, this is probably what you want.

We bought these scales on recommendation, we have always used salter products for a long time however these scales are way out when weighing , we have weighed on 3 separate scales but this one weight was no where near as the others was , very disappointed in salter , product itself well made and very stury ? if this is just a faulty item ??

Brilliant

I so wanted to like these scales.. I want to support british companies like Salter and they do look really great.. but this is an instance where I just can't accept form over function.. here's the problem.. It's mechanical measuring.. the springs and all the connected mechanism do not behave identically every time. I knew that if I didn't return them I would regret it when the return window closes. The problem is even if I zero the needle every time it still sometimes does not return to zero. When it goes up to the weight it still leaves room for confusion between the lines.., err is that a pound? or half a pound? (same in kilos). To the eye looking at a needle between unidentified lines can at best be an approximation. Moving even slightly causes such a fluctuation on the scale you cannot be sure which is the right reading.This could be massively improved by including a digital readout like some other manufacturers do, and there's plenty of room to do that on the big dial. In this format they're just not properly accurate so sorry..

still using it very sturdy and safe to use by a larger pwrson
