can one use this scale if they have titanium rods fused to their spine?

The scale uses a very tiny electric current passed through the body in order to measure the water, fat, muscle, and bone.

Not that I am aware of, but very importantly the scale must be on a hard floor - not a carpet or even vinyl tile otherwise it will display lower weight.

Do not depend on this scale. It is not accurate and you could end up paying overweight charges. I wanted to return it but by the time I was ready to use it for travel it was past the date allowed for returns.

Hi to zero scale use the little wheel under the round Dial. adjust it every time u use it if u need accurate daily weights

Yes. You put whatever container you've got on it, then tap the button on the right to zero the scale.

I do not have a scale but it is heavy. I used it on my 87-year-old father. He wouldn't have been able to handle it with the weight and his inability to use his shoulders at this point. He has become frail and I'm afraid the vibration at this point would hurt him, so I no longer use it on him. Great for a younger person though who can handle it on their own.

I would not trust a bath scales with precision weighing. Jewelry or postal scales would be far more accurate for these fine differences of weight.

The rod will interfere with the support rails. You could cut a notch for the rod in the support rails if you were so inclined. Or if the rod is removable you could drill a hole in the support rails at the proper point then reinsert the rod. Good luck.

I don't believe there is a scales on the market that will! I have a brace on my right leg and below the kneeamputation on my left leg so I hold unto a grab bar. Do you have a walker you could hold unto? For the Nuance, Fred/Margie "Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear".--Mark Twain

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

I'm pretty sure there's no way to recalibrate it. If there is, it isn't mentioned in the manual. Basically, Escali is saying that some of their scales have a calibration feature (I don't think this model does though). For the scales without a calibration feature, you could buy a reference weight to see how accurate the scale is (that's a weight that is guaranteed to weigh a certain amount, within a specified tolerance), but after you figured that out, there's no way to calibrate the scale to correct for the discrepancy. (For the record, mine has been plenty accurate for anything I've used it for. I haven't used a reference weight to check its accuracy or anything, but I haven't ran into any recipes that needed a super-high degree of accuracy anyway.)

Don't know if this will help in your case, but the batteries that came with my scale were so weak that the scale was inoperable.

Yes, absolutely. The scale can be switched between kilograms and pounds, quite easily.

Yes you can weigh your meat and then raise the pressing plate. You'll find the measurements on the stem.

Not likely, that's very tiny. The scale on this is about 1/2 inch to 1 foot, or 1/24.

The short answer is "yes." You simply put the measuring container (plate, cup, jar, whatever) on the scale and press the On/Off button. It immediately zeros the scale. You can then add the item to be weighed to the measuring container and the readout will display the weight of that item without having to subtract the weight of the container. Easy peasy! Apparently not everyone is aware of the tare function of this device -- hence some of the confusing answers.

Yes. The scale display can be set to either Metric or English Standard for weight, and the body electrochemical analysis will report ineither modes as well.
