Tanita lists a measurement resolution of 0.2 pounds and a 330 pound capacity, putting it in line with most everyday home scales.', 'At about $50 it costs more than the cheapest no-name scales, and the trade is a recognized brand name and a backlit display.

Performance notes
Tanita lists a backlit LCD display, a 0.2 pound measurement resolution, and a 330 pound maximum capacity, with a glass platform and a pounds readout. These figures come from the manufacturer rather than hands-on testing. The backlight should help readability in a dimly lit bathroom. For consistent readings, set the scale on a hard, flat surface and weigh at the same time of day.
What buyers say
With a 4.4 rating across 215 reviews, the HD-662-BK earns broadly positive, consistent feedback. That review base is large enough to read as dependable for a basic scale, even if it is smaller than the tens of thousands behind some bestseller rivals.
