Calling all fatties! Oops, that's me!
I was using a wide platform bathroom scales from Aldi - and it had a really nice white backlight which was easy to read, you step on, and step off, and the display stayed lit for a while so the lady of the house could read it. All good - except it sometimes decided I was 2 kilos heavier or 5 kilos lighter than I am. D'oh!
The lady has to watch her fluid intake because of kidney failure and to monitor her weight - thus the search was on for an easy to use, and read, scales.
I went for this one from Myer - it's a simple display with no body fat/water/bone readings to get in the way, it's similar step on and step off activation with the display staying lit for a while - and it stays the same weight when I get off and on again.
The bonus is that the display is very large and backlit (in blue) and I'd recommend it for anyone who has poor eyesight, though it's not the cheapest on the market. The Aldi one was $15 and this is a shade under $70
I bought one of these too - coz it looks cool and is not expensive at $30, but it's smaller and needs better agility to stand on while looking down at sharper angle at the display.
There is one from the same vendor in a larger squarer shape - but uses button cell batteries which will not last as long.
Unfortunately my scales all broke, and now they just show this

But -15 would be nicer.
