Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My review is for the Taylor mechanical scale with raised dial, chrome finish, and 360 pound limit/accuracy. It is the same build as model 938, but with a limit of 360 pounds rather than 300.
The scale is durable and functional, but the accuracy is variable. Their box states "accurate to 360 pounds" however, they are confusing accuracy with precision. Precision is zero to 360 pounds. Accuracy is within TEN pounds.
I find the following procedures help increase accuracy to within 1-2 pounds.
A) Set on flat surface.
B) Calibrate dial
C) put your full weight on the scale.
D) Step off
E) Wait 2-3 seconds for the scale to settle.
F) recalibrate dial
G) repeat from C
2-3 repetitions are required. It is possible that after a while, the spring will work in and stabilize, but for now, it tends to drift. I don't think this is suitable for lighter people or people who are very emotionally sensitive about their weight. This is suitable for a "pretty close" estimation.
If true accuracy is required, spend the $200+ for a professional grade scale.
