Bathroom scales (Walkers Heath B38)

Salter MaxView, 30cm square, 3cm deep, for solid floor. Batteries included (well, it is nearly Christmas).

Display in kg or old money, up to 200kg. Screen has some dirt ingress (see picture) but still readable.

Curiously, I have noticed that, consistently over several years, the first weighing is significantly greater than the second, carried out immediately the screen has gone blank after the first weighing, but third and subsequent weighings are all identical to the second. Irrespective of new batteries. I have therefore got used to relying on the second reading.

I have compared them with some cheaper scales from B&M bargains. Today B&M scales read 0.2 kg more than Salters, and yesterday they read 0.1 kg less. I guess they are both reliable to around about 0.5kg, and very reliable indicators of trend (subject to battery status).

I don't have Freegle or email on my phone. The quickest way to ask is to speak with me (don't text) on my Freegle-only number: 07440 324044. We can then agree a date and time, and I can provide an address.
