Can I put this scale in the bathroom? Im concerned the humidity from hot showers will damage it.

yes, it will damage it. There is no seal at all and parts are exposed to moisture. I've had 2 of these now and both failed for the same reason. The 1st one was in the bathroom and rusted after 6 months and the 2nd replacement stored outside the bathroom lasted just over a year and the company refused to assist/support. I'm not buying anymore withings products

I have a similar Withings scale and it's been in my bathroom for over a year without problem.

That's where I keep mine. I've kept it under the sink for years. no other damage except water spots since I use it after my shower in the morning. Still works like new.

It could not be any easier to clean. Depending on the food you placed on the scale, you can use a dry paper towel or with an anti bacterial spray or even a damped sponge with soap and just wipe if off. You will have no issues at all with cleaning. If you plan on weighing something like raw meat you might wish to place it in a bowl and take advantage of the TIER feature which is wonderful!!

Yes, you should be able to. I would just be careful because the front of the scale is actually glass.

Hi Susan!My suggestion to you is to go to your local Target and see what they have. I got the one I use from there and it has worked well.I also have a basic, non digital scale in my bathroom which works well too.The good thing about your local stores is that you can return them if you don't like them and try something new!As for brands they are pretty much all the same.Good luck!

In only use mine in the bathroom where I set it on the counter. I would assume since heat, therefore moisture rises, it word be best to place it higher.

John,It does not come off to clean it, At least not that I know of. However, I have wax paper I put down on top of the scale before I put anything on it to weigh it. Makes cleaning up easier =)

I received my scale with no problems, I even dropped the display and it still works! (I finally decided to hang it on the wall so I would not keep dropping it) But I don't see where I had to wet my feet and it still works fine with dry feet... I have another Fat Analyzer scale and they are within .01% of each other, so I think they are pretty accurate. Maybe you got a lemon one... mine only takes a few seconds.

I think it is best to keep it level all the time, because of its sensitivity and calibration. But you could I guess, just don't put pressure on the top of the scale when you store it on its side. That might damage its accuracy.

Hi, yes it really must be refrigerated. I would not store any food stuffs in your bathroom because of possible air borne contaminants anyway. Hope this helps. Jodie

Mine I keep indoors... if its only humidity you are worried about than I think it would be okay. I was really impressed overall with the quality of the table.

Yes, that is what I found. I have a small bathroom and don't have the room to leave the scale out; so it is stored on edge next to the cabinet. With the Tap-to-zero scale this replaced, this was never as issue and weighing took 15-20 secs. With the MIRA Instant On I have to:-step on and wait until the scale settles and flashes-step off and wait until the display is off-then re-weigh myself.I consistently see a 1-6 lb difference between the two readings. The scale is consistent after that...until it is stored back on edge. Perhaps not what it was designed to do, and the reason why I didn't return it. I don't know your application and I have not tested moving it from one flat place to another. Good luck. Yes, that is what I found.

I spray some "green" cleaner on a cloth and wipe the scale off. However I do get allow mine to get grubby. If you are weighing those type of things place a paper towel ( or foil) on it ( note the weight) and deduct that amount from your total after you weigh your product. You can even cover the scale with saran wrap.

Yes it will still remain accurate. I do the same every morning when I get up I take it in the bathroom with me. But you have to use the bathroom before you weigh yourself. But just to make sure its accurate because of me having to pick it up every morning I weigh myself twice. But just remember to handle it with care since you're picking it up every morning.

That's where we keep our scale. The surface seems to be tempered glass, and impervious to a few drops of water or steam.

I have my Scale on a wood floor. I have not tried it on any other floor type.

Opinion only. Yes, but or maybe. Rug would be fine. Is there a pad underneath and how deep and soft would that be? My scale is on an old wood floor with flexible boards. With my scale there is a slight [10th of a pound] variance if I rock back and forth. Basically nothing. The balance mechanism is all internal, nothing to do with the floor. When you put this scale in any place, there is an adjusting screw on the left of the balance, so you zero the scale to fit its existing environment, temperature, et cet. That's why it's so accurate. Also it has no springs - which vary depending on temperature, and even vary when you step on a bathroom scale more than once. This is the exact same scale. make and model, as in my doctors' offices in Kaiser Permanente - if that's a recommendation.

I always have it in the same place, which is in the bathroom though some distance from the shower/tub. It's been extremely accurate for many years now, and it's also on only its second set of batteries. The only downside I can possibly see is that the white top can get slightly dark/dirty with extended use and is not particularly easy to clean. As an accurate, useful, long-lasting scale, I don't see how this could be beat.
