I can't really say what's a good scale to buy, but I think I can say what to avoid!

I bought a Taylor brand, with this absolutely HUGE face on it--supposed to be easier to read, you know. I paid $30 for it at WalMart, figured it would be a halfway decent scale. If I still had the box I would take it back!

It's a dial scale, not an electronic. The needle never sets straight on zero--just won't stay there. When I get up in the morning I can't hardly even see the lines between the numbers to figure out how much I weigh--it's a pain. I have to rub my eyes, get on the scale, try to read the number, rub my eyes some more, etc., etc.

I know Health-o-Meter used to be a really good brand, and I think that's the brand Potatofree's new scales are. My mom had a Health-o-Meter set she bought back in the 60s and those scales still work perfectly today!
