What is the size of the digital read-out? Most bathroom scales appear to be in the 1-1.5 inch. I would prefer larger if possible

Well the read out is definitely larger than what you expressed ...but more importantly it is the bluish background that makes it easy to read and the big bold numbers are easy to see..Without having measure the read out I would say that the read out is in the range of ( L X W ) 1.5" X 2-2.5 "

Not sure of the size but I was pleased with the size of the digits and have had no problem reading them.

I have measured it exactly but it is about 5x5 inches. Definitely a good size for everything I've weighed so far. The best feature is how clear and comprehensive all the display information is. Most scales don't have all the nutritional data and with a type 1 grandson I really need it. I hope this helps.

I don't know. I didn't register any weight on my bathroom digital scale... Less than 1 pound.

Sorry I'm so late, was out of town. This scale measures ounces from 246.90 to 0.05 - which means anything under 1/2 of an ounce reads 0.00. You can get 0.1; 0.2; 0.23; 0.46 etc. readings. The good thing is, if you need more accurate measures - you can just go to grams (which measures from 7000 to 1). I hope this answers your questions. By the way - I love this scale! Its the best I've ever had - I make soap; creams; lotions; perfume and anything else along those lines. It's really sturdy, accurate, versatile and easy to use.

We don't own it. We ordered it but the vendor never sent it so we had to make a claim for a refund. We then purchased the Detecto D1130. It has a very small foot bed and a men's size 10.5 does not fit on it. As such, it did not register properly for my husband. That one went back. We then ordered the Healthometer 160KLS Professional scale. The foot bed is very large as is the dial. We're very happy with it.

This is a common issue with digital electronic meters and digital anything. Say you have a clock that is accurate...it keeps perfect time. If your digital clock says it is 6:05 it could actually be anywhere between 6:05:00 and 6:05:59...the clock display has only one minute resolution. Which is fine if you are using it to avoid being late for work, but probably not good enough if you are trying to time a 13 second photographic exposure. For that you need something with better resolution. 0.2 lbs (~3 oz) is the resolution of this scale. The scale can display only .2 lb increments. 10.2 lbs means that if the scale were perfect, the actual weight would be somewhere between 10.10 and 10.30 pounds. (less it would read 10.0, more it would read 10.4) In truth most digital devices are only accurate to plus or minus one resolution step....IF your test weight is really exactly 10.000 lbs, then I would say the scale is working right if read 9.8 or 10.0, or 10.2 lbs. BUT, if you are using a 10# exercise weight then I wouldn't count on it being within better than 1/2 lb. If you really care, then there is probably an office of weights and measures locally that checks supermarket scales, gas pumps, etc that could check it with a traceable standard weight. TLDR version; 10.2 is a good result. It does NOT mean your scale is 2% off. Most likely if you had a 100# test weight it would read 99.8 or 100, or 100.2. It would also be perfectly normal for you to sometimes see readings +/- .2 lbs different each time you weigh yourself....If you weighed exactly 180.100000 lbs, then 180.0 and 180.2 are just as close to being correct, and depending on if you inhale or exhale you could see one or the other. Given that peoples weight fluctuates over more than a pound during a day, this resolution is more than adequate for keeping tabs on your weight.

The area displaying the numbers is 3/4" high by 1 1/2" wide. It's very readable. The surface area for measuring is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". As long as the item being weighed does not exceed that, i.e. a 9" dinner plate or such that would cover up the display, you should have no problem. I love this little scale!

There is a button on the bottom of the scale towards the front. Just push it until you get the desired unit if measurement. Hope this helps :)

I don't have a small digital scale but it's less than 2lbs. I'm sure if we were to google it we could probably come up with a more exact weight.

Jan,The minimum weight for most bathroom scales is around 5 lbs. The best thing you can do with small packages like this is to weigh yourself with the package and then without and subtract the difference.Best,The EatSmart Team

Keep in mind, bathroom scale: small: 5.6# large: 7.2# medium must be between

On the backside of the scale you'll see a small button. Simply depress and hold the button while viewing the display until the units of measure change.

There is plenty of room for your food without touching the digital buttons. You can also put a bowl or plate on it - it will weigh that item first and then subtract it from the food weight - I love this scale - glad I purchased it.

it is digital and does measure decimal points of weight, not sure on really extreemly light weights but we use it to weigh fish as low as 4-5lb and it seems to work ok.

I always have it in the same place, which is in the bathroom though some distance from the shower/tub. It's been extremely accurate for many years now, and it's also on only its second set of batteries. The only downside I can possibly see is that the white top can get slightly dark/dirty with extended use and is not particularly easy to clean. As an accurate, useful, long-lasting scale, I don't see how this could be beat.

Agree with V.B. My bathroom floor has small hexagonal tiles and the scale fluctuates. On the hall wood floor it takes a few seconds (and me keeping still) to display the weight. It does visually waver thru a few ounces each way before displaying the weight.
