A solid purchase without reservation
I liked the idea of a Wi-Fi scale and we have Fitbit devices so this was an easy sell. The setup is unlike anything I have set up. I was curious how it would be done. I wanted to live with the scale then write my review.<br /><br />The first person in the family who is setup on the scale becomes the primary person in charge of adding other family members. That first person then emails up to 7 additional family members and gives them permission and instructions via an auto-email from the Fitbit site. The scale gives you 3 letters to identify each member of the family (they pick and this can be changed easily). If a &#34;guest&#34; uses the scale it says &#34;Guest&#34; while weighing, gives the weight and then the light goes out.<br /><br />Each individual's weight is assigned to them. If you are within 8 pounds of another person the scale will display both of your ID's until it can decide who is the person on the scale. When your initials (or 3 letter name) shows step off the scale and you will be assigned that weight. A big check mark appears when the scale is finished. You can step off then.<br /><br />The real nice feature is you can step on the scale and simply wait for the light to go off. Once the light is off you step off the scale and go about your day. When you feel you can handle seeing the numbers you can check your Fitbit Dashboard online. So nothing to write down. No forgetting. Easy recall and graphs of your weight online. BMI (body mass index) is given on the scale too as the weight, BMI and 3 letter ID rotates on the display. BMI is also logged online along with the weight.<br /><br />Scale can be moved around for dusting under it, etc. Put it back or relocate keeping it within range of your Wi-Fi.<br />350 pound maximum weight and scale weighs to the nearest Tenth of a pound. Scale uses 4 AA batteries<br /><br />Each person sets up their own privacy settings for where and who sees their numbers. Family members will not see your weight unless you set it up that way. There are several setting for your weight alone. So everyone can be happy<br /><br />Two negatives. It takes longer to weigh than with a no frills scale. Can be 30 seconds or more if your Wi-Fi is weak or you are close to another family member in weight. This means it can get cold during those morning weighings.<br /><br />Second negative is setup is not easy, but it is straight forward. Just different that expected.
