After unboxing these scales I could tell by the feel of them they were going to be rubbish.... anyway used them a couple of times and found that 1) They never returned to zero when ever you got off them, so you always had to recalibrate them. 2) Every time you got on them they would give you a different reading (not just a couple of pounds sometimes up to 7 pounds in difference at the same time)3)They don't feel sturdy and well made like the last pair of old salter scales I had, Which is pretty poor on salters behalf as they have made a good name for themselves but because these are so poor I shall be buying a pair of scales from a different manufacturer.. So all in all the only thing these are fit for is using as a door stop or putting in the dustbin :)

Avoid like the plague! Our old Salter bathroom scales were looking a tad manky so we liked the look of these. They went straight back to Amazon by return.
For a company that has cornered the market in bathroom scales you would imagine Salter would know by now how to make them -- or even actually have made some progress. These appear to have been churned out by the million from some Far East factory where the mantra is not quality but cheapness. The result? They don't even work. Or at least if they do, you have no confidence in the reading.
I was unconvinced by other reviews stating how impossible it is to set the pointer to zero -- but sadly it really is true. What happens is that you fiddle around with knob until the needle goes way below zero, then you have to press down on the scales and with a bit of luck the pointer will then flick back to something near nought. You step on the scales and the immediate sensation is that you are teetering on something dodgy. The needle slides round with a kind of lazy, sticky action that suggests wherever it lands up is going to be a best guess. You stare with shock at a reading half a stone off from whatever scales you have used previously. Then you step off -- and the needle fails to return to zero. So what was that all about? Do you deduct the half stone it appears to have added in the first place?
You go through the whole rigmarole again, resetting, stepping on, stepping off, the needle still not returning to where you set it -- ad infinatum.
We still need some new bathroom scales. But if this is the kind of ludicrous product Salter now makes, our custom is going to a rival manufacturer.

Wish I'd paid more attention to other reviews. These scales are useless. They vary so much. If I step on with my left foot first, I weigh in at something different than when I step on with my right foot first. If you move slightly, the weight changes. And, if you move them about the floor, the weight changes. I would not recommend these to anyone.

price-quality
Good quality for this price. A bit too big and thick, but it's OK. Sometimes shows +/- 1 kg repeating measurements.

Salter Speedo Mechanical Scale
Just what I needed, accurate scales, though could be too accurate, it seems I need to go on a diet. I'm at least two stone heavier than I thought I was.
