Here are out top tips worth thinking about when buying weighing scales. Thinking about buying a new set of weighing scales? Confused by all the choice out there? Never fear! Here's the top three things to think about before making a purchase: The Type of Scales Most scales can be put into one of two categories: either digital/ electronic bathroom scales, or traditional mechanical ones. Electronic scales are usually more accurate, as they can measure and present your weight with digital precision, and can even be programmed with advanced functions that can remember and monitor your weight. The downside is that these models need batteries to run – if you’re the kind of person who’ll forget to change them once they’ve run out, you might want to opt for the cheaper and more basic mechanical model, which display your weight using a simple analogue dial. Also pay attention to the range that each weighing scales display, as some will not show weights above a certain point. Choose a Size and Style Weighing scales don’t have to be an eyesore in your household if you shop around for a set that come in a style that suits the room you’re planning to put it in. Scales come in a variety of sizes and styles, ranging from sleek, modern and futuristic to twee with an old-fashioned charm, so keep an eye out and don’t just buy any old set! Alternatively, choose scales that are small and can be easily put away, so that they don’t clutter up the room when not in use. It also pays to consider the type of floor surface that you’re planning to put your scales on, as many scales will only work effectively on a hard, flat floor (such as you find in most bathrooms). If you’re wanting to put your scales somewhere where’s their soft flooring or even carpet, make sure you buy a set that are designed for this – they do exist, but will be marked as such. Think About Ease of Use Some are easier to use than others; for example, some mechanical scales can be fiddly to reset as they require periodic readjusting using a dial to maintain accuracy, whilst electronic scales rely on fresh batteries every once in a while. Also check before buying a set how they work: whether they need to be switched off and on, or set up in a certain way. Also pay attention to the size of the display – the weight should be easy to read, so if your eyesight isn’t strong then opt for a larger size. Remember that you will have to read your weight from a standing position! Make your selection with One Weigh.
