a nice handy scale January 25, 2010

I bought the scale soley for the plastic knobs attached. It aids one in following the direction of the weight.
 On Balance, an Excellent Product for the Price August 5, 2009

I've used the Taylor 1350J Mechanical Scale for almost three years, and have found it to be a reliable product and an excellent value. I only use mine on a hard, flat and level surface: either my tiled bathroom floor or the hardwood floor in my dressing area. I also weigh myself under the same conditions each time, so that my readings will always be comparable ... in other words, at the same time of day and wearing the same garments. A person's weight fluctuates day to day depending upon their fluid levels and other factors, so I'm unconcerned about whether I weigh exactly 188 pounds or 189 pounds. Using the colored indicator arrows at the top of the bezel, I just check to make sure that my weight is always within the same general range.
Of course it's important to make sure that the scale is balanced to zero before you step on it; I find the 1350J very easy to adjust, so that's not a problem. The only issue I have experienced with this product is the chrome frame, which after all these months is beginning to show little specks of rust from being exposured to moisture from the shower. This damage might have been avoided if I had not stored the scales in the bathroom and closed the door when showering, so I have to take the responsibility for the wear and tear I'm seeing.
I'm currently thinking of buying another scale and moving this one into the guest room, and have been looking at other brands and designs. However, my research has confirmed my perception of the Taylor 1350J as a superior scale in its price range, and so I'm definitely leaning toward choosing it again.

i found this scale to be very hard to read, even with the large dial, if you aren't right on one of the numerals, and very inaccurate. i just went to the doctor yesterday and found out that i weigh 7 lbs less than the taylor was telling me. if you get off and on several times you will see that it reads something different every time.
i wouldn't buy this if i were you. i see there are good and bad reviews. too iffy in my estimation.
amazon made me give it a star before it would accept my reveiw, otherwise i wouldn't even give it one. it's useless to me.
 Should you buy it? Depends May 17, 2008

For the needle on this scale to point to zero, it must be turned to a 45-degree angle. So, if you can stand at a 45-degree angle, this is the scale for you.
It is indeed a great mechanical scale. January 23, 2008

I was confused after reading the reviews. There were two extremes for this scale. Anyway, my wife wanted a mechanical scale and this one seems like fully filled her requirement, so I made the purchase. It is really a great buy with the $10 promotion and free shipping.
I found it to be quite accurate. I like its large readout scale and four markers in different colors. I have a family of four, so it turned out perfect. It is very important to put the scale on a flat surface and stand right in the center. If you tilted either side, you'll find the reading away off.
I was very happy with the purchase because my wife liked it. I'll never hear her yelling me to change batteries any more!
