Horrid
(1 out of 5) by Sunny on Sep 17, 2006 (Maryland)The only thing more horrible then the quality of this scale is the quality of HoMedics customer service. When this scale broke after less then a month of (inaccurate) usage, I requested a simple replacement part be sent. They refused, stating that if I sent the scale back to them, they *might* send me a replacement one -- but only IF I paid the S&H both ways. Uh, NO! It would've cost me a small fortune to ship that terrible scale both ways (when all that was needed was a tiny little piece to reconnect their crappy wiring).
The scale went into the trash -- and HoMedics lost a customer for life.

VERY inaccurate
(1 out of 5) by Dennis P. O'Neill on Sep 2, 2006 (Brook Park, OH United States)It worked well for a few months then started weighing light by a larger and larger amount as time passed. As of last week I weighed 225 lb at my doctors office and the SC-403 showed that I weighed 173 lb!
Clear read, sleek design
(5 out of 5) by M. Potter on May 3, 2008 (DC)Easy to use. Some variation in weight reading. I get on the scale three times and take the average.
It's attractive, but inaccurate
(1 out of 5) by Amanda J. Ford on Apr 20, 2008 (Colorado)I bought this scale in Jan. coinciding with a New Year's resolution for wt loss. It is attractive and worked well at first. All of a sudden, overnight, I gained 15 lbs. Had my husband step on and it was the same thing. So, for the price, 4 months of usage is not worth it. I am EXTREMELY disappointed and will be purchasing another scale - as you can imagine, nothing from Homedics. What a dud!
nice design, seems accurate
(4 out of 5) by C#min14 on Feb 29, 2008 (Maryland, USA)I bought this scale in Aug, 2007, because I found its looks very appealing. Also like the large, easy-to-read digits and that you can change the pounds (switch on the back) to kilograms.
I was surprised at the other reviewers' comments about its inaccuracy. My experience is the opposite. Now that I'm pregnant, I have a reason to weigh myself regularly, and it seems to have been correct. No matter how many times or how many different ways I try to step on it, it gives the same results. Just tested it with some dumbells: 3+4+5 lbs. I weighed them (together) several times, always showed 12.2 lbs. Well, at least it's consistent. I don't really care about a smaller than 1.5 lbs variance, anyway - I can easily gain/lose that much with dinner/exercise :) I update my review when I get to be heavier (vs 104)... to see if it's still accurate.
The reasons I gave it 4 stars: it was a bit pricey for one. Second, I don't know who dropped what on this, but it got scratched up a little bit in that middle metal part. Just have to be a bit careful around it.
