Built with a heavy gauge steel base and platform, the 420KL provides professional accuracy. The professional "silent slide" height rod delivers smooth, quiet operation and measures from 30-78 inches. Rotating poise bars allow for dual reading in both pounds and kilograms, and with a lock-in function these bars provide error-free operation. Lastly, the poise bars feature permanent, engraved numbers for long-lasting readability. This scale accurately measures weight up to 450 pounds in 0.25-pound increments.

 Great Scale and Improved Height Bar August 22, 2008
soycap (NJ)
The scale is super accurate. It will be nice to know my actual weight as opposed to "about" how much I weigh by stepping on and off of my old scale 5 or 6 times.
The height bar on mine is steel (arrived today 8/22/2008), so maybe all of the new ones will be steel.
One problem mine did have is that the top cap on the height bar was broken off, which made the height bar unusable (the bar assembly would just slide out of the rail.) The cap was put on with rivets that must have snapped in shipment, as the part was loose in the box. I was able to cut down some small bolts to reattach the cap and we are all good now, but this could have been a problem for someone who would not be willing or able to do a repair like that and really wanted the height function. I would assume this was an isolated problem unless more people are having it in the future.
Even with that I still give the scale a 5, as the scale is a great value and I would have taken it with no height bar at all anyway.
High quality tool! August 15, 2008
R. A. Head (Laplata, Mo United States)
We bought this instead of yet another typical bathroom scale. Let's see the kids pull the sticker off of this! This is a NICE piece of gear, assembled by my son, and accurate out of the box. I can see the difference before/after a glass of water. It's well built, and should last a lifetime. Just like the doctor's scale, so there's no more surprises going into the clinic. No wonder people's blood pressure is higher at the Dr's office. Sudden Instant Weight Gain Syndrome! SIWGS!
Buy this, you'll be glad you did.
 Consistent & accurate August 3, 2008
Eddie Fresh
This product arrived as expected. Instructions were easy to follow, although there was a minor inconsistency. Also, had a little trouble locating the tool needed to tighten the screws (comes with the scale). The scale works as advertised. I use it every day (sometimes twice). Much more accurate (or should I say consistent) than the standard bathroom scales. I would weigh myself on the strain-gauge bathroom scale and there was just too much variance.
 Disappointed with Condition after shipping July 13, 2008

Regarding the product itself, it is all that I expected it to be. It works fine (Except that it indicates that Im too short for my weight! LOL)
However, on a serious note, I was disappointed with the condition of it when it arrived. The shipping box had no visible signs of damage, and the packing material inside the box that forms around the product was intact and undamaged. Regardless, there was a dent in the column half way up and one of the mounting bolts that attach the column to the base was bent in such a fashion that I could not attach it.
For practical purposes, I simply repaired the displaced bolt with a pair of plyers. The dent half way up the column is a cosmetic thing I will have to live with. It is annoying to purchase something new and have it arrive blemished.
Seems to provide an accurate weight. June 4, 2008
Doris J. Layes
We have tried several other bathroom scales and the displayed weight would vary up to 5 pounds, each time you stepped on. This is stable on the hard floor and seems fairly accurate for a wide range of weights, from our 4 year old grandson to our weight. Matched up very closely with the scale at the doctor's office yesterday.
