Clean, simple, elegant -- all words that describe this scale perfectly. With its minimalist design, the scale looks perfect in any bathroom environment. Quality is built throughout this scale. The tempered glass platform is 8mm thick. The four load cell sensors are attached to the glass with UV glue allowing the spun aluminum disks to show through. Coupled with the glass platform, the aluminum disks catch the light to shine and glisten. (Taylor does not use paint to adhere glass platforms to the sensor disks, it detracts from the design of the scale). The 1.0 readout is highlighted by bright chrome, making it easy to read. The scale is pound/kilogram capable with a 300 lb/136 kg capacity. Includes a long life lithium battery that lasts and lasts, month after month. 5 year warranty.

Part of any responsible weight loss or fitness program should involve picking out an accurate scale to monitor results. This model from Taylor guarantees precise weight readings and runs on a lithium battery--which is not likely to die or weaken during the lifetime of the scale. The scale’s attractive tempered-glass top mounts on an industrial-style chrome base, and measures 12-3/4 inches across, offering a spacious platform to stand on. The scale turns on with a quick step onto the glass platform. A large 1-inch LCD display makes it easy to see readings without bending down. Weight readings lock and display for 5 seconds before the unit shuts off to conserve battery power. The scale holds up to 300 pounds, and is covered by Taylor under a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
