20 best floor scales

Body weight is one of the most important indicators of the normal functioning of the body, so for its control more than a century ago, floor scales were invented. Their help is resorted not only to people inclined to corpulence, but also to all those who carefully monitor their health. Such a measuring device will be an excellent gift for a future mother or athlete, as they regularly monitor their weight in order to take measures in time to normalize it.

Since the creation of this useful accessory has undergone many changes: accuracy has been improved, new options have been added, the appearance has been redesigned. Today, it is rather difficult to choose scales, given the variety of models on the market, and when buying them, you should first of all pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Type of. Scales can be either digital or mechanical. Electronic models are considered the most accurate, and are equipped with many additional features, such as measuring fat or muscle mass. Mechanics are much cheaper and simpler, but, unfortunately, during operation, it loses its accuracy.
• Weighing accuracy. For mechanical scales, the error can vary from 0.5 to 1 kg, therefore, for more accurate measurements, it is better to use an electronic device, since it can be mistaken only 100 grams.
• Material platform. The most common model with a glass platform, as they are relatively inexpensive, easy to take care of them, and they have good strength. In addition, there is a plastic surface design. Although such models are somewhat cheaper, still plastic is not so reliable as to make a choice in their favor. Metal platforms are not so popular because of unpleasant tactile sensations when weighing. There are also exclusive models of stone or wood.
• Display. It should be large, and the numbers clear and large. So that a person even with poor eyesight could easily see the testimony. If the floor scales electric luminous display, the batteries will have to change more often.
• Maximum load. Mechanical and electric floor scales can have a maximum load of 100 to 300 kg. Overweight people should choose a device with a load greater than 50 kg than their weight.
• Additional functions.They are equipped with most of the electric models, so that a person can fully control his weight and health, the devices are able to measure the proportion of fat, bone and muscle mass, as well as calculate BMI. For people involved in an individual program with a fitness instructor or nutritionist, developers offer models that can automatically transfer data to a smartphone using a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection.

So that you can understand the wide range of this product, we have compiled a rating of floor scales. It includes the best models according to buyers and reviews of athletes.

Best Cheap Electronic Bench Scales

This category contains budget options for electronic floor scales. Despite the pleasant price, all presented models are of high quality. Also in the ranking were inexpensive diagnostic scales that have many useful functions.

4 Lumme LU-1328

Among the disadvantages of electronic scales are usually mention the high cost and errors in weighing. But the model Lumme LU-1328 pleased us. To begin with, it stands as 3 shawarma (symbolic comparison, isn't it?). Despite the budget, the device looks very attractive in the interior of the house, and the buyer has a choice of 4 stylish colors with poetic names. The most popular is Frosty Morning.

Virtually every review mentions the accuracy and reliability of the scales. They were meticulously tested with several approaches and even gauge weights — each time the readings were accurate. The maximum weighing limit is 180 kg, which inspires confidence. However, in operation it is still necessary to take precautions, since there is a risk of losing balance on a smooth glass surface. But no settings are required, the scales themselves turn on, turn off and signal the need to replace the lithium battery.

3 Scarlett SC-BS33E060

Three rankings of the best low-cost electronic scales close the Scarlett SC-BS33E060. This is the most budget model, and, despite the fact that their functionality is a little less than competitors, they are not inferior in reliability and accuracy. The maximum load is 150 kg, and the error is only 100 grams. Scales have 2 indicators - overload and battery charge. The battery is a single CR2032, which does not require frequent replacement. The platform is made of tempered glass, and does not need much care. Mass determination is possible only in kilograms.

Users consider ease of operation, low cost and high accuracy to be considered as advantages of these scales. The successful design of the model determines its simplicity - they simply have nothing to break. The color of the platform can be different, everyone will find according to their taste. The weight of the model itself is small - only 1.2 kg. The disadvantages include sensitivity to the working surface and not always high-quality measurements due to sticking of the main sensor.

2 SUPRA BSS-7000

Spectacular matte plastic, huge 4-centimeter numbers in red and wavy surface – appearance of these floor scales immediately like their future owners. However, a noticeable design not only attracts attention and decorates the home interior - thanks to it, the weighing process is greatly facilitated. So, on a matte soft-touch coated surface it is very pleasant to become barefoot. The waviness provides a more stable position and massages the feet, and the huge dial does not allow even a myopic person to be mistaken in the results.

There are some complaints in the reviews that the measurements are not always accurate, but this is corrected by installing the device on a flat and hard floor. Also, someone lacks functions like measuring the percentage of fat or fluid, although for this type of scale they are not typical.With its direct responsibilities model copes perfectly well, and therefore deservedly takes its place in the top.

1 Tanita HD-382

The first place ranking of the best low-cost electronic floor scales is headed by Tanita HD-382. This model with a glass platform is considered one of the most accurate on the market, with the maximum load of 150 kg, the error is only 0.1 kg. The scales automatically turn on when loading and turn off after a while, which makes their use as convenient as possible. As units of measurement, either kilograms or pounds can be used, the switching between which is realized mechanically. The display has a backlight, which is convenient when using the device in a darkened room.

Among the strengths of the model in the reviews, buyers call high accuracy, pleasant appearance and large display. Scales are powered independently from batteries or rechargeable batteries, which need not be changed too often. The platform is made of special tempered glass, which is easy to care for. The weak sides of these scales include problems with the inclusion on soft surfaces and brand platform.

The best diagnostic floor scales

Diagnostic (analytical) floor scales have broad functionality. Models determine not only the body mass index, but also the percentage of body fat, water, muscle and bone mass. Analysis of BMI is carried out using electrical impulses passing through the human body. Also, devices are able to calculate the daily calorie intake for each family member.

4 Bosch PPW3330

Electronic technologies have come to the aid of people who wish to track important indicators of their health at home at any convenient time. Especially for them, the company "Bosch" has developed an inexpensive floor scales, the multifunctionality of which allowed them to become a leader in the top sales. In addition to weight, they are able to determine the proportion of bone and muscle mass, the percentage of fat and fluid, body mass index, taking into account age, height and sex.

Higher muscle density of regularly trained athletes is taken into account by a special regime. Conveniently, measurements for 10 people can be memorized - they can use this data to regularly evaluate their success. Also, the model is able to memorize information from the last weighing. I would also like to note the magnificent design and the minimum thickness of the case - it is only 1.8 cm. But the device does not have the backlight and automatic switching on, which is why it lost several positions in our rating.

3 Tanita BC-601

Among the best diagnostic scales model Tanita BC-601 has the highest cost, however, and the widest functionality. Scales, in addition to the functions of determining the proportion of tissues that are standard for diagnostic models, can calculate the recommended daily ration in calories and provide data on the metabolic age and the content of visceral fat in the body. The device memory is enough to contain information about 4 different users. The model is equipped with a remote control unit that is easy to use while standing on the scales.

Among the strengths in the reviews, customers note the high accuracy of the readings, the correctness of the diagnostic measurements and the thoughtful design. The platform is made of special tempered glass, which is resistant to mechanical damage and is able to withstand heavy loads. Scales also independently calculate BMI, which helps determine the state of human body mass. The disadvantages include a fairly high cost and illogical system for displaying diagnostic information.

2 Xiaomi Mi Smart Scale

The second place ranking the best diagnostic weights goes to the Chinese model Xiaomi Mi Smart Scale. The device of a famous brand is famous, above all, for its high accuracy and the presence of many interesting features. Weighing limit is 150 kg, while the scales have the best accuracy - an error of only 50 grams. A smartphone can be connected to track diagnostic indicators using Bluetooth. The device is compatible with both iOS and Android, and works with the official Mi Fit app (similar to fitness bracelets). The appearance of the scales at height - nothing superfluous.

In reviews, the advantages of this model include the wide functionality (thanks to the application), high build quality and relatively low cost for such a device. To ensure stable operation, 4 AA batteries are required, which is slightly more than the competition. The dimensions of the scales are small, so they can be stored in any convenient place. The platform is made of tactilely pleasant tempered glass, which does not require much maintenance. Among the shortcomings - the rapid consumption of batteries and the absence of the Russian language in the application.

1 Omron BF508

By themselves, the weighing results are uninformative. For example, it is unclear what part of the weight is adipose tissue, and which part is muscular. This data is especially important when a person is on a diet. Using the Omron BF508 multifunctional device, you can identify unwanted muscle loss and correct the mode in time. The device with an accuracy of 100 g and 0.1% determines several important parameters: the total body weight (up to 150 kg), the percentage ratio of adipose tissue and visceral fat, body mass index.

Accuracy of measurements is provided by sensor technology, providing reading signals from the feet and palms. The result is displayed on a remote control unit, the presence of which eliminates the tedious slopes. Of the shortcomings in the reviews, the complexity of the settings and the scarcity in the regional stores are indicated, and of the merits is the unpretentiousness to the place of installation in the house, the scanning of the whole body, and the “vitality” of the complete batteries (ААх4).

The best bathroom scales with a maximum load of up to 200 kg

In order for the scales to last for a long time and to accurately show the result, it is important to pay attention to their maximum possible load when purchasing. Weight must be more than 10% of the maximum weight of a person weighed. This category contains scales for people weighing up to 180 kg.

4 UNIT UBS 2080 BN

The model is massive, with an increased margin of safety and a large (390x300 mm) area for setting the legs, with an enlarged display, on which figures from human height can be easily read. And at the same time, the scales are accurately weighed (within the allowable limits of ± 100 g) without weighing the slightest irregularities. Of course, they are quite heavy (almost 3 kg) and a place should be allocated for them in advance so as not to stumble and not carry weight over the house once again.

The platform is made of tempered glass. By the way, you need to be careful with him - judging by one of the reviews, when falling from a small height (15‒20 cm), the device did not pass the crash test, and the glass shattered to smithereens. The author of the review paid tribute to the fact that the glass fragments were without a single sharp edge, and therefore could not cause injury. In all other questions, floor scales work flawlessly, and they also proved to be quite economical - the CR2032 tablet batteries usually last for 6–8 months.

3 Medisana PS 460 XL

It is difficult for people with a corpulent physique to stoop to press the button to turn on the floor scales or to view the result. To eliminate any difficulties with weighing, Medisana, a company specializing in the production of medical equipment, has developed the PS 460 XL model for more than 30 years.Among other devices, it is distinguished by an increased area of ​​the platform, which makes it comfortable to stand on it in shoes of 48 обуви49 size.

The materials of the product are selected according to the loads - good stainless steel and strong plastic. The assembly is of high quality, it is felt that it is designed for a long service life of at least 3 years. It is commendable that the designers have fully worked out the safety of the device: the surface does not slide, the scales are stable, turn on automatically when walking, at any level of illumination they clearly show the final result of measurements. Definitely, this is one of the favorites of our top.

2 Caso body energy

Model Caso Body Energy converts kinetic energy into electrical energy using a special button. Thanks to this feature, the device does not affect the environment, because it lacks batteries. Scales are made of high-strength glass and equipped with a large display with built-in indication of energy conversion.

In the positive reviews of this model, customers highlight the high accuracy, reliability and insensitivity to the surface as strengths. The device automatically turns on and off, which greatly simplifies its operation. Among the disadvantages are the severity of the device and the lack of additional functions.

1 Tanita BC-587

In the first place in the ranking of the best floor scales in terms of price and quality are located Tanita BC-587. This model boasts a maximum permissible load of 200 kg, and the measurement error will be only 100 grams. Scales are diagnostic, and are able to measure not only the proportion of adipose, muscle or bone tissue, but also the amount of water. The device memory is designed for 4 people. The display has a backlight, thanks to which it is convenient to take readings even in darkened rooms.

The advantages of this model in the reviews, customers include excellent functionality, stylish design and a large screen unit. In addition, the scales independently determine the biological age in the range from 12 to 50 years and the physical type. The tempered glass platform does not require much maintenance. Among the weaknesses of this model is called a large variation of values ​​with multiple measurements of weight and the display of readings in percent.

The best mechanical floor scales

The simplest and most budgetary option is mechanical floor scales. The principle of their operation is quite simple. A person influences his weight on a spring, which is twisted to a certain indicator, and this data is recorded on a scale. Mechanical devices have an error of 1 kg and are not able to weigh a person weighing more than 160 kg.

4 Energy ENM-408

The trademark "Energy" belongs to the Russian company Skrap, formed over 20 years ago. This fact removes possible suspicions that the product no name accidentally fell into our top. Its household appliances can be seen both in small hardware stores, and in federal retail chains - Auchan, Eldorado, Technosila, etc.

Their design is very simple, unlike electronic models, mechanical devices almost never break. It is difficult to say how accurate they are, since the reviews about them are very contradictory. We think that for these weights it is only necessary to find the smoothest surface in the house, and then the question will be solved with precision by itself. But most users have no complaints about reliability, some even used the product for other purposes, weighing food and even scrap metal. And nothing, the device has served for almost 5 years. Beautiful, inexpensive and high-quality - here they are, the scales of "Energy".

3 Irit IR-7312

Unlike most electronic devices, mechanical scales are very affordable. The model of the Russian-Chinese company Irit is almost the cheapest representative of the economy segment. Unfortunately, we cannot assert that its quality is higher than the cost - rather, they fully correspond to each other. Particularly accurate device can not be called, however, an error of 1 kg is quite typical for this scale.

The product is offered in 4 design solutions, each of which attracts its own category of buyers: for romantic natures and connoisseurs of Japanese culture, there are colors with circles on the water, butterflies and sakura branches, and for those who need motivation for playing sports - an image with corresponding drawings and inscriptions . In the reviews there are complaints about errors in weighing, but this defect is easily eliminated by adjusting the special wheel and setting the arrow to zero.

2 Momert 5200

Momert is especially popular in Hungary, where it has been manufacturing small appliances for the home since 1967. Here are still stationed its factory, warehouses and offices. Its range is large enough, but in Russia, the most popular product, again judging by the reviews, are electronic scales for accurate weighing of babies. We paid attention to the mechanical floor model, visually similar to the leader of this category of our top. It is also made in retrostyle, it has compact dimensions, but at the same time it is distinguished by an increased measurement limit up to 160 kg.

The case is completely plastic, but this did not prevent the manufacturer to provide customers with a 2-year warranty - for 12 months immediately and another 12 after registration on the official website. In this case, the company in case of premature breakdowns offers to file a complaint directly, without returning the product to the store. She also admits the possibility of service after the warranty period.

1 Medisana 40461 PSD

One of the reasons why they buy floor scales with the mechanical principle of weighing is the unwillingness to constantly buy electronic batteries. But the developers of Medisana provided the model 40461 PSD with a few more advantages: thanks to its compact width (28.5 cm) it takes up very little space, the large dial provides excellent visibility, a 3-year warranty and reliability of the brand testify to high-quality assembly.

To the smallest details, safety is thought out. For example, the foot pad is covered with a rubber-like plastic with a structured surface, so that you can safely become on the structure, without fear of slipping or losing balance. As for the mechanics, the scales are fairly accurate, although not everyone is satisfied with an error of ± 500 g. The vintage design in black and white gamut fits perfectly with the interior style of the house corresponding in style. We think this is an excellent option for the whole family, including for people in the "golden" age and full.

The best bathroom scales with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Wireless communication with the desktop greatly expands the capabilities of the device. In addition to weighing, he will be able to track the results day after day, evaluate the dynamics, keep a journal of records and provide the results of the assessment in the form of visual graphs and reports. The chances of achieving goals with such a device increase significantly. However, be careful - the use of smart weights is recommended for children and people with pacemakers.

4 REDMOND SkyBalance 740S

Fans of household appliances "Redmond" can rejoice - in the series Ready for Sky has added a shelf. The range of expanded electronic scales with built-in computer, one design which motivates immediate exercise and the transition to a healthy diet. After almost instantaneous determination of the data on the exact weight, the percentage of muscle, bone and adipose tissue, they are transferred to the same application in the smartphone, where they are subjected to careful analysis.

The user is invited to a graph of achievements, the calculation of the individual norm of calories depending on the tasks and personal advice on their solution. Built-in memory is enough for 8 profiles, so that the same device helps to monitor the health of a large and friendly family. Additional bonuses - a separate mode for athletes, great design, touch control and a solid platform of glass and metal.

3 Nokia WBS06

It turns out that the ex-leader in the smartphone market does not lose time in vain and develops a no less promising niche - the production of smart scales WBS06. They are a thin platform measuring 32.7x2.3x32.7 cm in black or white. There are no buttons on their surface; the entire control cycle is carried out automatically after setting up the Withings Health Mate application. In addition to the standard weighing function, the gadget notes in memory the changes in body weight and BMI, the new weight and the percentage of fat.

At the same time, 8 people can monitor their health. The profile of each of them is determined without their participation, and the graphic assistant does not allow to accept the wrong position. Thus, the weight is recorded accurately, with an error of up to 100 g. On the basis of the information obtained, a graphic chart is constructed, and the user receives recommendations on adjusting the diet or selecting the optimal physical activity. Conveniently, the package includes 4 AA batteries, which are enough for about 1.5 years.

2 Qardio Qardiobase 2

These bathroom scales are the most titled of the entire top. In 2016, they were named “Best Product of the Year” by the PC Magazine IT magazine, and in 2017 Forbes included QardioBase in the list of 15 recommended innovations in the field of wellness technology. The secret of their success lies in the balance of functionality, design and technology. Thus, in order to fully monitor health, the manufacturer provides for synchronization with the QardioArm tonometer and an electrocardiograph for the QardioCore house.

The measurements are quite accurate - users have checked this with professional medical equipment. They also confirm the ease of use of the application and are pleased that it is in version 2 that the battery is used as the battery. Scales are useful to all family members without exception, including people with a pacemaker and pregnant women - there are special modes for them. As for the shortcomings, they are uncritical. For example, users are advised to choose a model in black - on a dark screen, LED indicators read better.

1 Picooc s3

Judging by the enthusiastic reviews and the number of products sold worldwide (3 million units over 5 years), the Chinese company Picooc succeeded in producing smart electronic scales.
