March 2009. The Health o meter 402KL resembles the scales you see in medical offices and gyms. This model is a large, upright mechanical scale that gets very good reviews for accuracy and ease of use. Its 450-pound weight limit is unusually high. Reviewers say the Health o meter scale is easy to use and easy to read because the controls are at chest level. Measurements are in pounds and kilograms. But this scale is also very expensive compared with most bathroom scales, and it requires a lot of space. If you want a conventional home scale (that can also measure body fat), we found good reviews for the Tanita Body Fat/Body Water Monitor BF-680W (*est. $65).
Experts say if you want an accurate analog scale, go with a medical scale like the Health o meter 402KL. This medical scale gets about 75 reviews at Amazon.com, where its good overall ratings indicate customer satisfaction.
