Me gustó mucho

Love this scale! It was a cinch to assemble with pictorial instructions. Weight measurements were exact, to fractions of a pound and the price was great.

La báscula es de excelente calidad y el precio es muy bueno, lo único que hay que tomar muy en cuenta es que viene graduada en LIBRAS, si compran desde México no viene en kilogramos, por lo demás el envío llegó muy rápido y el producto es excelente

I finally have an accurate scale! It’s the real thing. My son put it together for me and said it wasn’t difficult. I read the previous reviews about the issues with height measure so I left that out. It’s a really nice solid big scale and yes it’s in American pounds not kilos. Canadians are expert at going back and forth between metric and imperial. For a savings of at least 50% I can tolerate the imperial.

El equipo llega bien protegido, es fácil de armar, estéticamente es muy bonita, me hubiera gustado que las unidades vinieran en el sistema métrico. Pero el precio es bastante competitivo.

Read through some of the previous reviews, which made me a little nervous before purchasing this scale. Turns out my fears were unfounded.Mine arrived well packaged in a factory box with no less than 13 steel packing staples holding the top closed. Inside, everything was neatly packed in the form fitting styrofoam, and sealed in plastic bags.Basic assembly uses 4 screws, and hook the rod over the platform lever underneath. Add 3 more screws if you want to attach the height rod as well. Took all of about 15 minutes, 5 of which was spent looking for the right screwdriver in my toolbox, and 5 was spent calibrating the height rod. The instructions were pretty clear to me. Written in several languages, but if you can assemble simple Ikea furniture, you can follow the pictograms as well. Once assembled, the unit is very sturdy.Weight calibration is simple with a screwdriver and a little patience: Put the scale where you're going to use it. Set the weights to zero. Make sure there's nothing on the scale/platform. Check if it's at zero. If not, use the coarse and fine adjustment points on the counterweight until it is. That's it. Height calibration is even easier: Set a height on the rod, use a tape-measure or other verifiable measuring source and check the reading versus what is set. Just make sure you're measuring from the platform to the bottom of the height "hat". Loosen the calibration screw, and adjust the rod up or down as necessary and re-tighten. Done. All of these instructions are in the manual as well.It's a big unit. You don't realize how big doctor's office scales are until it's sitting in your tiny bathroom. The wheels make it fairly easy to move around, but ideally you shouldn't be wheeling it all over the place anyway. It's not so heavy that you couldn't just pick it up and move it if you needed to.1/8 pound accuracy is a little ridiculous if you think about it. 2 ounces is not significant versus your overall weight. If you're trying to track down that far, you're losing sight of the big picture. I've compared it against the weight I get at the doctor's office, as well as the scale at the gym (which coincidentally is a Seca), and all three match up well. I suppose if you're weighing something like a cat or small dog, it would be very significant, but, then why are you using a human scale rated for up to 500lbs for weighing a cat? Even for children, 2 oz is not very significant.The balance is very sensitive, and if you shift around alot, it will never settle down. This is partially due to the 1/8 pound resolution, and also there's minimal dampening in the system. This increases accuracy since there's minimal friction to overcome, but it also means it moves alot. There are two easy ways to address this (besides not fidgeting). One: when you've got the weight set close to where your weight is, reach over to the indicator, and gently hold it at the level point for a second then let go. Two: If it's gently bouncing evenly around the level mark, then it's probably good. If it's bouncing below or above the line, you need to adjust until it's even.Overall I'm very pleased with this scale. It was a tad more expensive, but it's well built, seems very durable, and seems like it will last for a long time. Only time will tell, I guess, but so far so good.

The Seca 700 with 220 measuring rod is of high quality design and build, beautiful to look at, accurate and unerring in its measurements when properly assembled and calibrated. Like many other reviewers of this product, I am one to research extensively before making expensive purchases. This device is absolutely worth the money and it is fairly priced compared to competition. Its design is better (specifically the balance beam and stabilization loop) and it measures to finer increments than others in its class. Yet it is far less expensive than Detecto scales and appropriately priced above Health-O-Meter models that do not offer the same fine features.I was initially a little concerned about purchasing this scale based on the 1 star reviews indicating accuracy and other problems after assembly, but I'm glad I decided to give it a try for myself. This scale is NOT that hard to assemble if you are willing and able to concentrate for about 10 minutes and follow the diagrams provided carefully. I'm convinced that those complaining about difficulty of assembly and quality problems (with the exception of those who called CS and received a true defective diagnosis) simply failed to concentrate and properly assemble and calibrate the device correctly.For me, the device went together easily enough and with a tiny bit of head scratching I was able to figure out which screws belonged to each step of the process. The most tricky part was in attaching the height rod because the fixture that attaches to the column has a sliding mechanism inside it (this allows for post install calibration) that obscures the screw holes. But with a bit of fiddling I realized and corrected my errors.After this, I spent about 20 minutes carefully calibrating both the weight and height readings because I want the most precise and accurate measurements I can get as I work in the fitness and fat loss industry and I track my own weight and height carefully each day (yes, folks... height DOES matter; even for adults because it does fluctuate based on rest/hydration levels and your height is a major factor in determining the appropriate amount to eat for various purposes).The balance beam is easy to calibrate, but to get it absolutely perfect, you'll want to spend some care and attention. As others have noted, using your thumb and forefinger to stabilize the beam balance indicator by pinching it level with the stabilizing loop (on the far right of the beam mechanism) is the secret to a perfect calibration and more speedy and precise weight measurements each day. My scale came very close to perfect out of the box, but I wanted it to be dead-on so I spent extra time adjusting it. After making my adjustments with the scale zeroed out I also weighed several dumbbells and weight plates and found it to be precisely accurate with all.To calibrate the height rod, I set it to 60", extended the measuring slide (this is the top piece that fits over the user's head), and then used a high quality electrician's tape measure that has a magnetized tip (which attached itself firmly to the platform) and measured from the platform to the measuring slide to determine the delta between the current assembled measurement and a true measured 60". This provided great accuracy as the magnets attached firmly to the metal platform so I was able to get a perfectly straight up and down (vertical) measurement between the platform and the measuring slide. Note the difference (e.g. tape measure results in 60.25" so you know you must adjust the rod .25" lower to get a true 60" reading). From there, you unscrew the screw that holds the measuring rod to to the attachment fixture slightly, adjust up or down as appropriate and remeasure. Rinse and repeat until satisfied.I have been using this scale for a few days now and I'm finding my ability to weigh myself with precision is getting better and faster as I begin to get a feel for the behaviors of the balance beam and the most appropriate reactions to the feedback it gives; basically I am improving my technique at working with the scale.If you have a bit of patience for assembly, calibration and general learning curve and you're looking for high quality materials, precise accuracy and absolute repeatability, I highly recommend this scale. It is not only beautiful, but I have complete confidence in its outputs, accuracy over time (i.e., this scale won't get "friendlier" as the batteries wear down), and durability.
