I bought mine on sale at Sears...it was still 79$ canadian but down from 129$ so that seemed like a bargoon. I was okay with the weight, but it also calculates BMI, and I find it hard to believe that at 5.85' and 231 I am 52% BMI index. Every other index calculator I use online puts me more in the 34% range..still high but 52%? I emailed Tanita requesting an explanation but haven't heard back.
