HoMedics® 531 HealthStation® Body Fat Bathroom Scale

After reading several bad reviews, I thought I’d share my story. Maybe I just lucked out and got one that works (76%) properly, but I’ve had very few issues with this scale. I’ve had it for probably about 4 years now, and it has been a bit glitchy, (mainly an issue where if you step on it wrong it’ll beep every 30 seconds indefinitely, solved simply by popping a battery out and back in) bit for the most part works properly. I generally use it either daily or not at all, and the batteries seem to last a reasonable length of time. My only criticisms of this scale would be that I’m not sure how accurate it is, and what appears to be “hidden features”. There are spaces on the LCD screen that aren’t used; ‘BONE’, ‘MUS’, and I’m not sure what the symbols at the very bottom mean.

Other than it’s appearance, I can’t say much good about this scale. It goes through expensive batteries very quickly. This adds approximately $10+ per year onto the cost of this scale. By the time I had it set up, the batteries we’re almost dead. Each use, I only used the scale long enough to get my weight in order to keep the battery usage to a minimum. But even with that, the batteries needed to be replaced twice yearly. Then it started lighting up in the middle of the night by itself. By the time I got it to stop, the batteries were almost dead again. I would not recommend this scale.

I bought this scale in 2020 and it's still working. It's been helpful in my weight journey. I highly recommend it. The only thing I can't seem to figure out is how to store my weight info, i e , recall information. Happy still.

This scale really has everything if you want to track BMI, calories etc. Really easy to set up too. We have two profiles but you can have more. Very good price for the features you get.

not a good product for seniors unless you have someone who can make all the setting you need to do at the beginning. to say nothing of the ones needed each morning. i sent this product back

I almost returned it. Had to a mild hit with my heel to work with all readings. Weight readings are close to other scale I have. Other readings appear good. Nice appearance.

I almost returned it. I had to finally do a hard foot hit to get the 4 measurements to work. One has to make 3-4 attempts to get a correct measurement but that aside, it works sort of OK now other than the several attempts each time to get a correct weight. I have another good digital scale to check this one.

I purchased this scale last year and it didn’t even last 6mths, the tabs on the bottom of the scale broke and every time you would step on it the numbers would go bonkers.
