Somewhat mystified at the raves. This scale acts exactly like every other cheap digital scale I’ve owned: it is inconsistent, and also gets “stuck” at certain weights. Try this experiment: keep a five pound weight near the scale. Weigh yourself once normally, then again with the weight, and then a final time without. The last weight will often be different from the first. Just getting on and off several times in a row isn’t the same, because it also gets stuck.

If you weigh exactly the same to the tenth of a pound for several days in a row, it’s probably stuck. try the weight trick above and it seems to reset it–I’ve seen differences up to 2 lbs over or under after a reset with something a bit heavier. I’ve also had some extremely frustrating diet attempts in the past with digital scales, because I’d actually lost weight but the scale was stuck.

I have been using the Omron HJ 112 Digital Pocket Pedometer for a few weeks now and I am very happy with it. It easily slips into a pocket or clips to a waistband. It is easy to set up and easy to read. I like the way it resets itself to zero everyday. The instructions say you can put it in your purse. I haven’t done that because I am more active than my purse. The only improvement I would make is a back light so you could read it after evening walks.

The bottom locking pin does not pass through the holes in the rack as the two pieces of the rack are not fully aligned. It took me some time to install the hitch and by the time I installed the rack, it had been past 30 days. Have sent an e-mail to the seller but have not heard back in the last 3 days. As far as I am concerned, I cannot use the product with its design flaw. I wish I had paid some more and gone for a much easier to use, more robust quality rack from other brands which have a quick release feature. I would not recommend buying this product if this is a common quality problem.
