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 Etekcity EB4074C keeps things basic. It uses an LCD readout and a tempered glass platform, and the manufacturer lists a weight capacity of up to 400 pounds with accuracy stated at 0.2 pounds. There is no body fat estimate or connected app here, just a weight number.', 'At around 16.88 dollars it sits at the very low end of the category, and the scale itself is light at roughly 1.68 pounds, so it is easy to slide under a cabinet or shelf between uses.', 'If you only weigh yourself and want a tool that turns on, shows a number and turns off, this fits that brief. Remember that a home scale is for general tracking, not a medical reading, so talk with a healthcare professional about any results that concern you.']
