Taylor Digital Talking Glass Bathroom Scale: Accurately Measure Up to 440 Pounds

Lilith79: I should have gotten something like this years ago! The scale works wonderfully and it's quick. The digital scale this replaced was incredibly slow and sometimes couldn't even get my weight before turning off.
I would like to note that several reviewers have stated that this has a German accent, it's not German. It sounds Chinese to us.
I purchased a returned scale, it was supposed to be black and silver. It's not the one I wanted precisely but it was okay because it was a good price. I understand why it was returned now, the scale I got is clear and silver. It's actually what I wanted so it works out very well. I mentioned this because maybe it'll happen to somebody else too, consider this your heads up warning. One star removed for inaccurate color.

lovevintagejewels: Got this for my dad who needs to monitor his weight regularly for water retention. He has macular degeneration and glaucoma and is not able to read a regular scale. I have to mention he is also hard of hearing and very picky about any type of monitors, gadgets, etc. I looked at a lot of options and decided on this one based on reviews. Took it over and set it up for him and the the voice is clear and concise and he can hear it just fine. My dad went crazy over it and said he wished he had known about this years ago! Also, we know it's accurate because he goes to the doctor regularly and it's always a match.

Jackilyn Snair: This is a very nice scale and accurate. It is nice hear the number so you don't have to have light on to see the numbers.

Going to the (Rescue) Dogs (Adopt Don't Shop): I purchased this scale for my 92 YO father, but I haven't actually seen it used due to lockdown restrictions. My dad and his aide have provided the feedback included in this review.

My dad lives alone in an apartment within a senior continuum of care community, and he has lost quite a bit of weight since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent strictly-enforced quarantine requirements across his campus. His doctor there wants him to monitor his weight between visits to her, to make sure it doesn't drop significantly further.

However, poor vision plus decoding/processing abilities that have been compromised by Dementia interfere with my dad's ability to read the digital display on a standard scale.

As I scrolled through the many scales listed on Amazon that offer the features I was seeking-- i.e., both a large visual display and an audio announcement of the user's weight -- this scale emerged as one that was certainly likely to fit my dad's needs, for a price I considered to be reasonable. It has mostly delivered as promised so far.

SET-UP AND EASE-OF-USE:
My dad has an aide for two hours daily, and she completed the very few tasks...

LJ: It reads out in five languages BUT NOT FRENCH The English is in pounds weight only and the other languages are in Kg But there is no french language. We like to use KG however we did not return it as we can use the Spanish. The display is small and dark but we chose this model for the audio.
Having said that it works very well.

symbioticpeace: First, allow me to say that this scale is absolutely amazing and has helped me a great deal. I am partially/legally blind, and the talking feature of this scale prevents me from having to ask someone to read the scale for me. The voices that are used to speak the weight are very clear. This scale is very sturdy and nice-looking in any bathroom with its clear glass and metal surface. This scale will also read weight in 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, and German) and will read in kg or lbs. For me at least, this scale seems to be very accurate and mimics each weight that I have received all doctor's visits so far. For those that do need to read this scale, the numbers are large and very readable. Batteries are supplied with the scale (3 AAA) and the scale came well-packaged. I highly recommend this scale to anyone who is looking for a talking scale.

Update (August 3rd, 2014): I am updating this to make a few additions to my previous review but also to update on the effectiveness of this item after heavy use by a wide variety of people. As someone else pointed out, this scale reads very quickly. The voice is a bit more delayed, but it takes the data that scale...
