Frieling Personal Scales

Bought mine as a store discounted item without paperwork, so it was a little confusing to figure out. After getting your first weight you have to step off scales until display goes blank. Then, you get on the scales and it counts your weight down and the scale reads zero, then you get off the scales and it displays your weight. This scale was designed so that you do not have to bend over to try and read the scales while your on it. Great for fat older people like me with failing eye sight on a wet glass-top scale! Leave it to the Germans to figure that out. Also, this scale has a high quality rare-earth magnet speaker that is as small as a good quality high-output laptop speaker. So, the sound is clear and dynamic; however, the amplification is not loud enough to over power my rattling noisy bathroom ceiling fan. It takes time to figure out how to program, but if you managed to figure out how to program your VCR without directions in the 70's when electronic gadgets first started to need decoding to figure out, then you will enjoy working with this.
