Question: What does counter weights not included mean?  Is this an additional purchase to have a functioning scale?
Document: It is exactly like the scales doctor's use in their offices, though a smaller, home model. It is VERY accurate and easy to use. Just step on, slide the balance weights until the indicator hovers in the center, step off and read your weight in either pounds or kilograms.There is no guesswork on this instrument. When you first get it you have to bolt the top to the base, with the included wrench, and then adjust the balance to zero with a screwdriver.
(ha,ha)  We've both lost a few pounds since the purchase.
For the most part, I keep in in the same place so I sent the wheels back.I'm happy with my purchase.
This is just the ticket. If you've used digital or analog scales, you've probably always been confused by the varying weights indicated. On a digital scale, you have to step on, let the weight register, step off, let the indicator return to zero, and then step back on to get the true weight. Even then it may be inaccurate. All digital scales require this &#34;zero balance&#34; in order to function properly.
If you are serious about monitoring your weight, you need one of these (not those ridiculous floor scales). I felt this scale presented a great value and enables me to accurately monitor my weight. We've checked it several times with free weights and the thing is deadly accurate. I keep it on a flat slate floor, always in the same spot and therefore always know my precise weight. Highly recommended.
I had a little bit of trouble putting it together, pinched my finger! But I love, love, love this scale!! I've always hated the small scales that you have to look down at to see your weight. This scale is eye level and perfect! Just like at the doctors office. As someone who is struggling with their weight, I have the scale in my room and I can easily monitor my weight on just about a daily basis if I want to. Great purchase.
The unit is simple to assemble, just tighten four nuts to secure the vertical piece to the base. No adjustment was necessary to mine, it balanced perfectly when weights were all set at zero. The scale is very sensitive and will weigh consistently within an ounce or two. Only complaint is that the numbers are small on the top (most accurate) beam and if you are an old fart like me with close vision not so good, you wil need your glasses. Overall I am very pleased.
Well packed, easy to assemble and easy to use. Easy to read the weights. very portable. Thank you very much.
My husband and I both need to lose weight, and felt a scale would be an additional motivator. (We haven't had a bathroom scale for years.) My husband felt this type scale would be the most accurate and we had the room for it in an upstairs bathroom. Unfortunately, it arrived with the base damaged. Since the box and packing material weren't damaged, it must have happened at the manufacturer's. Fortunately, my husband is very handy and was able to make the necessary repair.
this was easy to assemble and accurate right out of the box. if you want an accurate scale do not hesitate, this is worth the money.
