The maker lists a 400 lb weight capacity, which covers a wide range of users.', 'It is on the heavier side at about 6.5 pounds, which fits its sturdier build rather than a thin, portable design. The clear glass finish keeps the look simple and easy to wipe down.', 'At over 400 dollars it costs far more than most home scales, which reflects the brand and the heavier duty construction rather than added smart features. Any body composition figures it shows are general estimates, so treat them as informational and talk with a healthcare professional about what they mean for you.']

Performance notes
Health o meter lists an LCD that reads in pounds, a tempered glass platform, and a 400 lb maximum capacity. The scale weighs about 6.5 pounds, which suits its heavier duty build rather than a slim, portable design. No accuracy figure or power source is listed, so any body composition figures should be treated as general estimates.
What buyers say
With a 4.5 rating from about 44 reviews, feedback is positive though the sample is fairly small. That suggests most buyers were satisfied with the build and capacity, but the limited count means the score is less settled than a larger pool would be.
