About how long do you have to get both feet onto scale before it registers? My elderly father is slow getting both feet planted on the scale.

It starts once pressure is applied. I'd say he has about 5 seconds. I stepped on it with one foot then placed my second foot on using the wall for balance. It readjusted the digital readout. Maybe you could call a medical supply company for a suggestion. I hope this was a bit helpful.

Tap the scale with your foot just enough so that the display lights up, then take your foot off and wait until the display goes blank. That should do it.

This morning I stepped on it and it told me my weight. (down six pounds) I understand your confusion, some scales do require a "tap" This one does not. I will check tomorrow to be sure.

My husband uses it moe frequently than I do and it seems to wait for him to settle. We use the talking mode. Basically we tap with one foot, the voice prompts "ok, ready " then there is time to step on slowly, a wait time of a few more seconds to settle, then a voice reading of current weight, and once off she says "good-bye"... I think it would be an excellent scale for someone slowed by age.

I stand on the heels of my bare feet and keep my toes pointed forward so no part of my foot is touching the ground. I'm a 250 pound man with 4E width feet and horrible balance...it just takes a little practice. Keep in mind that if you are weighing yourself at different times of the day, your weight may fluctuate just like your blood pressure and glucose levels. If your weight is fluctuating wildly, you might not be on a level surface. Hope this helps.

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.

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

I thought I like the scale but it is seeming to be inaccurate. I step on in the morning same time get one number. I try a few minutes later different number..third try is really ridiculous

I discovered after I had the same issue that I needed to press the scale quickly and let it "set". When you see the zero's on the display, you can then step on the scale and it will calibrate your weight. Hope this helps.

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.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

Scale stays on and repeats your results three time, so I would guess about a minute. The scale is sensitive but as long as you do not shift your weight between feet it reads you eight accurately. Very happy with this scale.

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer. I have only had the scale for 3 or 4 months and have not needed to reset it yet. If I can find my instruction book, I will look in there and will try to find the answer for you.

I just step on it and it reads in a regular, digital display...I first thought maybe I had to activate it with my foot first and wait for it to go to zero, like previous digital scales...but this one just needs to be stepped onto like a regular scale... hope that helps

Hi. I'm not familiar with the requirements of the WW scales. But anytime you want an accurate reading, getting on barefoot is the best option. I would imagine this is why the instructions insist that you don't get on with wet feet. The scale bed is glass and slippery when wet.

Make sure to first tap it strongly with your toe and wait to see a "0.0" on the scale before stepping onto it fully. After 1-2 seconds from the tap, the zero should appear. Step fully into the scale and within 2-3 second the number will stabilize on your weight. Additional lesson learned: Make sure your balls of your feet are fully on the scale or it'll read a little lighter than you actually are.

I cant really say how long. I can only say that I bought for both my Mom and my aunt and both takes a bit to step on and don't seem to have any issue with error messages or shutting off on them. I highly recommend these for elderly people, who need a walker or such to hel p support them until they can step on to them. for low to ground and wide base so they feel safer to step onto them. I am a former home health nurse and very impressed with these scales.
