We've tested analog scales for years, and found that accuracy and readability are of chief importance to bathroom scale users so we gathered our findings in the creation of this scale, whose oversize dial (just under 712" in diameter) and 5/8"-tall numbers are easy to read. Precise and consistent, this scale has a rack-and-pinion mechanism with a built-in shock absorber to help assure that the scale will remain accurate for years. The generous platform comfortably accommodates a mans size 12 shoe, and the scale measures weight in 1-lb. increments up to a total of 400 lbs. 6" H x 15" W x 20" D. (10 1/2 lbs.)
