Popularity1.5/5
146 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The Taylor 702940133 keeps things simple. It is a plastic-platform digital scale with an LCD readout, a manufacturer-listed resolution of 0.2 pounds, and a stated capacity of 330 pounds. At roughly $24, it sits firmly in budget territory and aims at people who just want to step on and read a number.', 'Taylor lists the scale at about 2.1 pounds, so it is light enough to slide under a cabinet or move between rooms. The feature notes from the maker call out high accuracy and high capacity for the class, and the display reads in pounds.', 'The catch is the feedback. With a 3.8 rating across 146 reviews, opinion is more divided than on many competing scales, so it reads as a functional pick rather than a standout. As with any home scale, treat the readout as a general trend tool and consult a healthcare professional for any health decisions.']

Performance notes
Taylor lists an LCD display and a measurement resolution of 0.2 pounds, with a 330 pound maximum capacity. The maker describes it as high accuracy and high capacity for its class and notes the readout is in pounds. These are the manufacturer's specifications, not figures from hands-on testing. For repeatable readings, place any scale on a hard, flat floor rather than carpet.
What buyers say
Across 146 reviews the scale holds a 3.8 rating, which is positive but more mixed than the 4.4 and higher scores common among competing digital scales. That spread suggests it satisfies many buyers looking for a basic weigh-in while leaving others wanting more polish or consistency.
