Amazon.com Product Description
The Health o Meter HDL820KD-18 Digital Scale with LCD provides the perfect way to track your weight goals, thanks to its fast, accurate measurement capability. Just step on the scale, and in seconds you'll have the information you need for your weight loss or weight maintenance program. Easier to read than old-fashioned dial scales, this scale takes the guesswork out of reading your weight by clearly displaying your information on a large LCD.

Battery: CR2032 Lithium-Ion battery
Display: 1.3-inch LCD display
Increments: 0.2 lb / 0.1 kg
Max. weight: 330 lb / 150 kg
Warranty: 5 years
Functional, Streamlined Design Simplifies Your Life
Unlike old dial scales with tiny, difficult to decipher indexes, the HDL820KD has a 1.3-inch LCD and clear digital numerals that make reading your weight easy.

The scale itself has a slim design with a silver-tone platform and elegant transparent glass accents. Complementing any home decor, the scale is both striking and conveniently sized. It measures 13.4 x 12.7 x 2.7 inches and weighs 4.2 pounds, meaning that unlike bulky, unsightly dial scales, you will never need to store it away. With your scale in view, you will be more likely to measure your progress and reach your weight goals.

This unit runs on one long-life lithium battery (included). Replacing the battery is easy, and a digital readout lets you know when your battery life is low. And for peace of mind, the HDL820KD is covered by a five-year limited warranty.

Precise Measuring Capability for Accurate Results
The Health o Meter Digital Scale accurately measures weight in .2-pound increments up to 330 pounds. Such precise measurement makes reaching your weight goals easier, because it means you can learn to understand your weight variation patterns and track how your body responds to different foods, habits, and exercise.

When setting weight objectives for yourself, it is important to have an accurate starting point so you can correctly measure your results. Older bathroom scales featuring a spring action can become inaccurate as the mechanism wears out, meaning that your weight may be off by several pounds each time you step on the scale. The HDL820KD eliminates this problem by "zeroing out"--calibrating itself to begin precisely at zero for better accuracy and, ultimately, better weight control.

Before each weighing, use your foot to gently tap on the lower corner of the scale to calibrate. Once the scale has zeroed out, step on--your weight will be displayed in a matter of seconds. Your weight will continue to be visible for a short time until the LCD turns off automatically.

The Importance of Regular Weight Monitoring to a Healthy Lifestyle
Research has shown that people who regularly weigh themselves lose more weight and prevent more weight gain than people who weigh themselves infrequently. This is because weighing yourself more often can help you recognize your body's patterns of weight gain and loss and can help you modify your lifestyle before your weight becomes difficult to control.

Regular weight monitoring will help you learn about how your body responds to different foods, eating habits, and exercise. That means you can learn to understand your weight variation patterns so you won't get discouraged and halt your weight management progress. Also, frequent weighing will fuel your motivation for reaching your weight goals, keeping you on track and encouraged along the way.

4 out of 5 stars Logo was on upside down...or glass was on backwards   November 26, 2009
R. Soronen (Michigan, USA)
I have not used this scale much, but so far everything seems to be working well. I wanted to write a review to let everyone know that when I received my scale, the "Healthometer" logo was on backwards. Or, perhaps, they put the glass on upside down. I emailed Healthometer about this, and never received a response. I didn't want to pay to ship it back, so I just tried to remove the logo myself, and found that Acetone works very well. I used 100%, but perhaps nail polish remover would also work. I hope that if you also have this problem this info is useful to you. :)


4 out of 5 stars Great and good value   November 19, 2009
David Hogben
This bathroom scale is much better than the Thinner scale which I bought four or five years ago, gives weight in 0.1 lb increments instead of 0.5 increments, has a replaceable battery, and is cheaper. If I had my druthers I wouldn't have to tap before weighing myself and the scale would be a little bigger so I could get on it and not worry about whether I was situated properly.


3 out of 5 stars Scale for use on hard surfaces only   November 19, 2009
Beverly Kingsbury (Pacifica, Ca USA)
All my scales have said to use on hard surfaces only but I could use them on capets anyway with a small difference in the weight. This can not be used on carpet, the weight different is off by 20%. Nice design, I just could not us it.


4 out of 5 stars Pretty good   November 9, 2009
Julia Millar (Atlanta, GA, USA)
I've had this scale since July 2008. It's been working good, no complaints. It doesn't match the scale at the
doctors office at all, but I assume it's because I weigh myself in the morning at home (before breakfast and with no clothes on), and after food and with clothing in the middle of the day at the doctor's office. At least, I hope that's the reason.

I discovered a problem the other day, however. And I hope that somebody here can help me out with this. I tried using it a couple of days ago, and the display showed nothing. If the battery is dead (where do I even get a new one???) - there was no warning whatsoever of a low battery. Has anybody had any experience with that?

I emailed the manufacturer. Waiting on response.



5 out of 5 stars great scale, especially for price   November 4, 2009
TEG (Madison, WI)
After four months of use can say this scale is consistent and seems pretty accurate.
