EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale Review
With over 15,000 reviews on Amazon, and being a best seller for 5 years running, you would think that this would be the best mid-range bathroom scale to buy. Unfortunately, EatSmart appear to have been taking everyone for fools!
The Good
Looks wise, the EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale looks great. It will fit right into any bathroom made within the last couple of decades, unlike some Home Basics Digital Bath Scale, Essence Onyx
other scales. The automatic-on function is great. Unlike other scales where you need to tap your toe to get started, you just need to stand on the EatSmart Precision Digital and it’s ready to go. The display is large enough to easily read, and the blue glow helps in low-light conditions (or if you’re half asleep in the morning like I am!). Also included with the package is a tape measure to watch your waistline, which is a nice addition.
The Bad
Unfortunately, the most important part of devices job, it does HORRIBLE wrong! At first glance, the accuracy seems very reliable, with very little change day-to-day. On closer inspection, it appears that there is some trickery going on here. The measured weight seems to “snap” to a recent weight that is “near enough” to what it measures. While this means you will see consistent results, it prevents tracking results any closer than around 250g (1/2 lb). This has also been observed by multiple customers on Amazon, so it does not appear to be a defect.
Conclusion
Overall – I cannot recommend the EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale. Any measuring device which fiddles with the numbers is, in my book, a bad product. Those of you who are wanting to closely monitor your weight are just not going to be able to use this scale. And, well, those of you who don’t care as much about close monitoring? Well.. Why would you want a bad product anyway? There are many other bathrooms scales around which are more accurate, so stay clear of this one.

6.5Pros
- Easy to use
- Good looks
Cons
- Accuracy is terrible
This isn’t true with my scale. It works great. The customer service is second-to-none also. I had to replace mine back when it malfunctioned after having it for about nine months they replaced it no questions asked and didn’t even have me send my old scales back to them. In spite of your review, I believe that I will remain loyal to this brand.
