Salter Smart Scale – Personal Body Weight Scale, 180kg Capacity, 17 Body Metrics, Salter Health App, Black, SA00656FEU6

Salter, as a brand, is a favourite of mine and has been for a long time. Especially if you're looking for high quality items at a good price. These scales are no exception. They are sturdy, easy to read and capable of a heavy weight.

This smart bathroom scale offers great quality and comes from a trusted, well-established brand.Keep in mind that it must be placed on a solid, level surface to ensure accurate readings—uneven ground can significantly affect the results.You can use these scales in two ways: as a straightforward weighing scale, featuring an easy-to-read, backlit LED display, or by connecting them to the Salter app on your smartphone. The app allows you to track up to 17 different body metrics and observe changes over time. It's compatible with both Android and iOS devices, and you can set up profiles for as many as 8 users.The scales boast a sophisticated design, combining sleek black glass with brushed metal strips, making them a stylish addition to any bathroom. They look fantastic!

Got this brand new just a week ago but it's giving me false readings. I've removed and replaced the batteries a few times but to no avail. Does it require calibration despite being new?

Fantastic quality scales with a good accuracy. Ideal for weights up to 180kg so highly versatile and functional. Price is reasonable given the smart features and app.

These scales are quite slimline and sleek in appearance with their black tempered glass construction and simple silver sensors down each side.Power comes from two AAA batteries that are included. There's a small push button on the bottom that can set the Units.The scales power on when you step on them and quickly show a reading for weight. If you want to see any of the more advanced metrics, you need to download the App and register and account.The App is straightforward to install and once running you can add your device and it added without any problems. From then on, when you take a reading, all of the metrics are loaded into the app and stored and you get the facility to see changes, graphs, set goals, sync to other Apps like Apple health and so on.It all works very well and is an easy to use attractive item. What I'm not sure on is the accuracy. I also have some Tanita Scales that are getting on a bit, but cost around three times the price of these when new and don't even have any connectivity. When I took measurements one after the other comparing the two devices, there was a discrepancy of about 500g in my weight, 3% in my body fat and about 200kJ in my BMR. None of the readings were particularly close. Which one's the most accurate? I've no idea.I guess in the long run it doesn't matter that much as consistency and trends should be the main consideration and having the app to store all the readings is a real help. The scales don't cost the earth given the rich functionality and recognised brand, especially compared to some other brands. I'd like to think my Tanita scales are more accurate given the price, which wopuld make these less accurate, but in fairness I just don't know.

This scale is lovely. Looks stylish and is compact. Easy to set-up and seems very accurate. Not set up the app yet but it has been nice to be able to quickly check weight as trying to get healthier. Feels nicely made. Large clear display makes it easy to read. Simple to use and the built-in tracking will be very useful - great that lots of people can use it.
