Overview
A digital floor scale from Health o meter with a wireless remote display, so the readout sits at eye level instead of at your feet. Weighs in pounds or kilograms up to 220 lb, with BMI calculation built in.
The remote display is the point here: rather than bending down to read a screen on the platform, the number shows on a separate handheld unit. Stainless steel platform, black finish, and a listed accuracy of 0.2 lb, closer to clinical precision than most bathroom scales offer.
- Wireless remote display unit
- 220 lb weight capacity
- 0.2 lb accuracy
- Stainless steel platform
Who it's for
Fits home users who want a scale that reads like the ones used in a doctor's office, and anyone who finds a floor-level display hard to see or reach. Not built for commercial or multi-patient settings, since a 220 lb capacity rules out heavier users.
Pros and cons
- Remote display avoids bending to read the number
- 0.2 lb increments for finer tracking
- Built-in BMI calculation
- 220 lb weight capacity limits who can use it
- No listed features beyond weight and BMI
Performance notes
Accuracy is rated to 0.2 lb increments, and BMI is calculated automatically once height is entered, aimed at home tracking rather than diagnosis.
