I purchased the Taylor Superbrite Digital Scale a couple of years ago at Wal-Mart. I paid sixteen or seventeen dollars for this scale at that time. The price is not listed here on Epinions, but it appears that this scale is available through other internet websites for under thirty dollars, which seems to be on the high side.
Accuracy
I will talk about the accuracy first, because this can be very important if you need a precise measurement. This scale is digital, so it provides a readout in whole numbers. There are scales that provide tenths of a pound measurements, but this one does not. Furthermore, you can step on the scale, weigh yourself, step off, and weigh yourself a second time and get a different reading. I'm not sure why this scale does that, but it does. Normally the readings are only within a pound, which could be a minor fluctuation in the way the scale is round your weight up or down to the nearest whole pound. However, it has fluctuated as many as three pounds before. If you are weighing yourself as part of a long-term goal, then this scale is fine, because weight fluctuates from day to day, and you cannot allow minor changes in weight to affect your goals. Ultimately you should be measuring your weight loss in longer increments (weeks, months). The daily readings are only a gauge. So, for this reason, the accuracy of this scale is not much of a factor for me, as long as I am getting a close reading on my weight.
Readability
This unit displays your weight in a visually appealing (the appeal may depend on the number it is showing) manner. The old needle style scales can be very difficult to read, especially if you are trying to discern the tick marks between the ten pound increments that are normally displayed. The bright red LED display on this scale makes it extremely easy to read the numbers.
