• Environments where battery-operated devices are not desired

When it may not be suitable

This scale may not be ideal for users who require high-precision measurements with small increments, as the accuracy is limited to 1000 g. It is also not suitable for individuals who need digital features such as body fat analysis, memory functions, or smartphone connectivity.

Key specifications

• Maximum weight capacity: 136 kg
• Measurement accuracy: 1000 g
• Display type: Analog dial
• Power source: None required

How to use

Place the scale on a hard, flat, and level surface to ensure accurate readings. Avoid placing it on carpets or uneven flooring, as this can affect the internal mechanism. To use, simply step onto the center of the platform with both feet, standing still until the needle stabilizes on the dial. Once the measurement is complete, step off the scale. If the needle does not point to zero when no one is on the scale, use the adjustment knob typically located on the side or bottom of the device to calibrate it.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the scale is placed on a solid, non-carpeted floor
• Verify that the 1000 g accuracy meets your personal tracking needs
• Check that the maximum capacity of 136 kg is sufficient for your requirements

Usage recommendations

For the most consistent results, weigh yourself at the same time of day, preferably in the morning before eating or drinking, and always wear similar clothing.
