HealthOMeter 349KLX Digital Medical Scale

We wanted a very accurate and consistant scale for home use. Our first attempt was the Tanita HD 372 (reviewed and given one star) that was returned to Amazon.

We bought 349KLX as a much less expensive alternative to the Tanita BWB model which also has an easy to read, wall-mountable display.

The 349KLX runs on one standard 9v battery and has a lit display. We recommend velcro tape rather than the included metal mount to put the display at eye level. The 349KLX is accurate and consistant and weighs to within 2/10ths of a pound. If, for any reason, the display doesn't show "0" when turned on, it has a tare to reset the balance zero. There is also an automatic shutoff to save the battery.

Unlike some scales that lock your weight after a few seconds, this unit continues to adjust until it reaches an equilibrium.

We cannot evaluate this scale for heavy (doctor's office) usage but it is excellent for home use.
