I have only owned it a few days - but as far as I can tell it is a very nice scale. Seems to have a large footprint from what I am used to in simple dial type scales. I have nothing to test the accuracy - although I attempted to weigh a 5 lb. bag of flour and it would not register the weight. Not sure about that. The included tape measure is some sort of Rube Goldberg contraption with a hook on it to wrap around yourself and hook the tape measure onto itself... then what... for the life of me my wife and I can not figure this one out. What do you do with it at that point. Not like you can step out of the tape to view your reading, and besides, it has a locking mechanism to lock onto a number and then you can view it. Just seems like an afterthought. Ditch the Rube measure and include a much cheaper, simpler tape measure. Quality of the scale feels really sturdy - only time will tell. The display wakes quickly and responds quickly. All in all for the price I think it is a great scale.
