Unknown ability to change tare weight
This scale is incredibly easy to set up and use, and is exactly what I was looking for. Why doesn't it get 5 stars then? Well, I'm a little mystified, but perhaps this will help someone. After having it for just a week, my kids got a hold of it (which I was expecting). It's such a simple device, I didn't think there'd be any problem. Unfortunately, whatever they did to it made it weigh off by around 5 pounds. If I hadn't bought this to participate in a weight loss competition I might not have noticed, but I definitely knew I didn't weigh what it was telling me. I took the batteries out, replaced them (same batteries), and it was back to weighing what I thought I should be seeing. I didn't see any instructions on changing the base weight, so I have no idea what my kids (both very young) did to it, but it made me remove the batteries to make it right again. That's the only problem I've had with it, but with something so simple, that makes me feel a tad more uncomfortable with it.
