It had a needle
like the one on my grandma’s old bathroom scale, where it goes up until it
reaches your weight, except this one lights up. I remember the days
when the needle would only go up to 105 lbs.
Then it went up to 125 lbs. I
thought I was so fat. Then it went up to
135 lbs. I thought I was huge. Then it hit 145 lbs. I thought I was a hippopotamus. By then I was using my own digitally read
scale. Then it hit 155 lbs. That was a year ago. I was not a happy camper. When I
stepped on the new Ozeri Rev Digital Bathroom Scale with the fancy Electro-Mechanical Weight needle as well as a digital reading all lit up, I saw the
needle zoom up to 163.4 lbs. Yikes! I want to see less needle zoom and more
va-va-voom. So my motivating mental image
is that the needle only zooms up to 148 lbs. this summer! That will definitely be a step in the right
direction. Isn’t it funny that what
someone thinks is fat, is someone else’s skinny?
Some other features of the Ozeri Bathroom Scale are:
·
A synchronized electro-mechanical Dial and LCD automatically illuminate
and instantly point to your weight in lbs and kg, for easy-to read results in
all light conditions and from any angle.
·
Visually stunning design incorporates a huge 5.5 inch dial and
integrated digital display with stylish chrome accents to create a distinctive
retro look with the accuracy of modern technology.
·
Uses 4 high precision GX sensors that weigh up to 400 lbs (180 kg) in
0.2 lbs or 0.1 kg increments, with StepOn technology that captures precise
weight measurements upon contact.
·
Professional quality scale features and an oversized platform made of
impact-resistant tempered glass for ideal stability, and a new built-in alarm
that reminds you to measure your weight at the same time each day.
· Auto-calibrated and
automatically turns off to conserve battery life. Runs on 3 AAA batteries with
a Low Battery Indicator (batteries included). Satisfaction guaranteed.
I think my
favorite features are the 1) LCD lighting that makes it so easy to see anytime,
anyplace. 2) I also like how thin and
strong it is. The glass is unbelievably
strong for looking so dainty and decorative. 3) And
the fact that you don’t have to tap it before weighing. Just step on and get your weight reading.
True Story: We had 3
missionary friends over for dinner the other day. They have been away from home for various
lengths of time. We had put the scale in
the kitchen for the time-being and it caught their eye immediately. They loved the way it looked and so naturally
they all had to weigh! One of them is
from Hawaii and he was very concerned with how much he had gained since leaving
home. Apparently in this area, they are
well-fed! He got on the scale and we all
saw—he weighed 275 pounds. Big boy! The other two got on and we couldn’t believe
it. They each weighed the exact same,
215.4 lbs. Go figure. That never happens. It was really fun to see their reactions to
our scale!
I'm impressed with the company because they were originally marketed exclusively to high-end resorts, hotels and estates! Then through word of mouth, their products trickled down to the consumer. It saves the buyer money because their reputation goes before them through key touch-points throughout the industry so very little advertising is necessary, therefore saving advertising costs which is then passed down to the consumer.
The Ozari Rev
Digital Bathroom Scale is a great
addition to any household and the price is great! I found it for only $29.95 on Amazon!
