I recently sent fancy expensive electronic scales to landfill. Normally I'd give unwanted stuff to a charity shop, but ...

I'd had them about 10 years & they measured weight, fat & water & as an earlier post noted could give different figures 5 minutes apart - SOMETIMES. The way I found this out was by seeing a huge weight gain (NO!!!) or huge loss (YA GOTTA BE JOKING!!!) & weighing myself again a few minutes later. Even tho the batteries were not low I replaced them & still got inconsistent readings - sometimes.

I eventually got fed up with this little feature (geek talk) or bug (normal person talk) & bought a new set that only measures weight & am now a happy little camper.

They are made by Soehnle & were the cheapest set in the electrical goods shop, tho I could have spent even less in a chain store. Prices ranged from $30 to several hundreds. Chain stores had very basic scales for around $10.

I hadn't realised Soehnle had so many styles & so many features - gosh, I must live in a different world to most of their clients, I could only tick off 2 options, digital personal & safety glass.

Scroll down the page to see the scale showing a sheep holding a sign saying "Ich hab schwere Wolle!" (I have heavy wool!) I wish my shop had this design, I'd have bought it cos I collect sheep, & also have heavy wool.
