The die-cast beam is dual reading, so it can be easily read from either side, and measures in both pounds and kilograms. Detecto continues to set the pace in the clinical scale industry, backed by over a century of leadership. Detecto physician scale features a time-honored reputation for rigid construction and precision engineering. This assures an unbeatably rugged product that guarantees accuracy and durability. Detecto scales are tested with weights traceable to the U.S. Bureau of Standards.

Review: A classic. - This is an old-fashioned mechanical weight scale. It doesn't plug into the wall or use a battery. Nor does it have a memory to store your readings. It won't connect via Bluetooth to your computer or a mobile device. And you won't need to download an "app" to make it work. Sorry, but it's not voice activated either. Believe it or not, you make it work by using your own hands (imagine that). My unit arrived well packaged and without any sort of damage. Assembly is easy and only takes a few minutes. Using a Philips screwdriver, attach the column to the base with six (6) screws Once assembled, use a level to make sure the platform is level. If not, use a self-stick pad or some type of shim to level it as needed, (Detecto really should have designed this scale with some adjustable levelers). Once leveled, use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn a screw to calibrate zero. That's it. To weigh yourself, simply step on the scale and slide the weights until it balances. I find the readings to be very repeatable. But while being weighed you need to stand still. If you start waving your arms about or rocking from side to side it'll take forever to stabilize. I offer no scientific evidence, but I believe this scale is accurate to within about 1/4 pound. So what's the real appeal of this "antiquated" scale? I've owned several digital weight scales. After a few years they quit working and I threw them in the trash. And then I bought another one, etc. Unless you abuse it, this Detecto scale should last a long time. Spare parts are available if needed. And it looks pretty cool too. And while it costs more than a cheap digital scale, I think the price is quite reasonable for what you get; especially when you consider that it was made in the USA.
Review: Fine Scale. Very Happy! - Product was shipped in a timely manner, all parts included. Instructions were easy to follow and what minimal assembly there was, I completed in 10 minutes to include unboxing. I see no reason this product wouldn't last a lifetime of daily in home use (my intended purpose.) The test-retest reliability of the scale is an impressively narrow margin - perhaps less than 1/10th of a pound. This scale must be placed on a hard, flat, and level surface. I chose the concrete slab in my basement and used a level to find a good place. If you are not using a level to determine a suitable location for your scale, you are simply not going to get the accuracy and precision that this scale is capable of displaying, and this is true for every scale, in my understanding. US Made, of sound construction, and delivered free of defects. I saw some reviews claiming similar products were inadequately packaged to prevent shipping damages. I didn't find that to be an issue. This scale is replacing a digital scale which gave weight data that was obviously a product of some sort of formulaic modification - it never gave a straight answer. This scale only tells you your weight, and doesn't fudge the numbers based on electrical impedance, previous scale weight, activity levels, etc. Just the correct weight, both precise and accurate, and right every time. Sometimes, old fashioned isn't old fashioned, it's tried and true.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the height rod measure total inches? Not feet and inches. Eg. 61 inches vs 5 feet 1 inch.**
A: Not the one I have. The height rod measures in centimeters and in feet and inches, not just inches. Measures 5' 1", not 61".

**Q: what is the weight capacity of the scale?**
A: Does scale show weight in kilos

**Q: Will using this in wood or laminate give inaccurate readings?**
A: No. It should work fine as long as all corners of the platform sit flat and level on the floor.

**Q: Can you buy extra weights to go higher then 400 pounds?**
A: There is not a counterweight to increase the capacity on the 339 which is the dual reading scale. The counterweight will only work on the pounds only model with a capacity of 400 pounds.  If you have an older style 339 with a top capacity of 350 pounds they do have a counterweight to increase the capacity to 450 pounds.
