Does this scale weigh from the feet of the scale (like the ozeri touch pro), or are the sensors under the weighing platform?

There must be sensors under the platform because the only "feet" are tiny felt pads to protect the counter. (PS Love this scale!)

I would say not as well as it does on a flat surface. When I weighed myself with this scale being on a thick carpet, it was not the same as when I'd had my weight taken at my physician's office. I waited an hour or so and then weighed myself with the scale on a flat, hard surface. It was then the same weight as it was in the doctor's office. I was told, then, by the nurse that it is always best to weigh yourself - on ANY scale - on a FLAT EVEN surface. I believe this to be accurate information. But I wouldn't worry about a difference of 1-2 pounds!!

There is a small know like thing next to the battery. If you switch it the scale should be updated to KG.

Behind the scale it has a unit button , press it once that converts to lbs , also when you change batteries you will have to set it again.

The directions said not to but to give you an accurate assessment, I just weighed myself in the bathroom where it is usually kept and it gave me accurate readings. Then I placed it on my somewhat flat carpet and the first time it said I weighed 14 lbs. It wouldn't even give me the other readings. I placed it back in the bathroom, stepped on it and then placed it back on the carpet and it wouldn't even come on the second time. So I guess my answer would confirm that it would only give accurate readings on flat surfaces where the weigh can't be distributed under the scale to give a false reading. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear. However, I love it and love the features of it. It was well worth the money spent. I also purchased their food scale and love it. Now I want to cook just to weight my food. I am not disappointed by either one and enjoy the nice dcor it adds to my bathroom and kitchen.

Hello Rebecca,Your answer is no, unfortunately. It's only in pounds. You need to convert the fraction of the pound to ounces if you need it. But it is a quality scale, otherwise.Phil.

There is a hold weight function, if you set the scale on the edge of a counter you can reach under the box push the hold button and remove the box to see the weight. The scale pad also sits high enough that if you are level with the scale you can easily read the display.

The weighing platform is a glass plate and should clean easily. The base is relatively smooth and closed all over except for the switch openings and the opening for the platform pedestal. The switch buttons penetrate the base top and appear to sit on a rubber membrane. I would expect liquid entry in the event of a spill that runs over the edge of the plate. The weighing platform is a glass rectangle elevated perhaps 5mm above the base. Below the glass, the top of the base is a flat surface extending back under the plate perhaps 18mm all around. The glass plate appears to sit on a pedestal projecting thru a rectangular opening in the top of the base. There is a raised "dam" of material perhaps 1.5mm high cast into the base top surrounding the opening. A significant spill might fall on the flat top of the base and run back under the plate to the dam or over it. That would be inaccessible and difficult to clean. My use is all dry (not in the kitchen) so I have not exposed it to any liquid hazard. It is a nice scale but seems vulnerable for typical kitchen use to me. The manual makes no claims re. resistance to liquids. Only caution is "do not immerse".

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

There's no way. It's supposed to be auto calibrated. Mine was always off by 20 to 30 pounds. Never the same amount, though. Worst scale ever.

When i step on my scales, it automatically gives weight. I do not have on/off button. just make sure you have batteries in place hope this helps

Like most scales, this scale IS NOT accurate on carpet. I brought the scale out to a fairly low pile carpet and weighed myself. It said I weighed 78 pounds. I weigh almost twice that number.

Not quite sure what you mean but if you pull on the scale it will weigh more than when you release it and let whatever your weighing sit there. For the money it worked well for me.

No I do not believe so. When you step on it the weight doesnt change (and I purposely moved the scale to see if I stood on it different or if I moved it around with my feet-) seemed to stay the same with no change.

No it does not. As soon as you remove the box or whatever you're weighing the scale resets back to 0.

Hi. I already shipped the scale back to Amazon due to the defective digital display. From my recollection, the platform is very small, about 6 inch x 6 inch. Though the scale is rated to weigh items up to 75 lbs, I personally don't think its construction is sturdy enough to weigh large-size items. I hope that helps..

Yes, just be sure the scale is on a hard flat surface and don't move it in between weigh ins.
