Customer Reviews

Great design, doomed by poor electronics assembly
Pros: Classy, understated appearance. Low profile. Very accurate when it works right.

It worked great for perhaps 2 weeks, then occasionally would get stuck in a mode where it added about 30 pounds. New battery made no difference. After a few months, it failed completely.

I did not keep the packaging or receipts (will next time), so I had to toss it out. But first, being an electrical engineer, I took it apart. The soldering on the circuit board was horrendous, a typical result of cost-cutting outsourcing. This little circuit board would normally be assembled by machine, but was instead was manually soldered by someone with obviously little training and/or care (who was likely being paid next to nothing).

To see the classy product of talented designers doomed by clueless cost-cutting is all too common.

Very Disappointed
Every time we used this scale it gave a drastically different weight. We returned it to Amazon, probably the first time we've ever had to do that. For the price it should at least work. Also, in only the 4 days we had it a large chip came off the corner. It earns two stars for looking great. I would not recommend it.

Nice design... but that's it.
I purchased this scale and it worked great and was very accurate. It also looked fabulous! Then about 6 weeks after purchase it started weighing about 30 lbs extra. We replaced the battery but that didn't help. It had been over 30 days so Amazon wouldn't let me return it. I found the Soehnle website and they let me return it and sent a replacement since it was under warranty. Of course, I had to pay to ship it to them. Well the new one worked for about 6 months then it started doing the same thing as before, weighing about 30 lbs too much. If I keep returning the scale to the Soehnle people I can get a replacement as long as the warranty is in place but when you have to pay $10-$12 each time you ship it, it gets to be a very expensive scale. We decided to just cut our losses and find another one. Don't waste your money on this scale. I gave it one star because it is a very nice looking scale.
