The editors didn't like
Not the most accurate form of BMI measure
Costs more than a regular scale (obviously)
Sometimes acts flaky if you try to weigh several times in a row
Glass is streakprone and hard to clean (even with Windex!) Noticeably larger squarefootage than a lot of analog scales. Plastic feet bottoms look cheap and come with adhesive that's weaker than Harold Wormser (front middle). It's still 0
Mirror surface gets dirty quickly
Expensive
Hard to keep clean
Not recommended for people with pacemakers
Takes the reading a bit too fast
I’m not sure how many people will actually use the “social embarrassment” aspects of the device Every time you submit our site

Abstract: Now $160 for a scale. Okay, I get it. Kind of like paying $160 for a toaster, right? Well, suppose that toaster could keep track of your whole grains intake and tasty breakfast satisfaction on the web. Suppose that toaster could beam your whole wheat ...
The Withings WiFi Body Scale is a very cool scale that is accurate and measures just about everything you could need to track your weight loss goals. ...
Expensive, but worth it. How do we justify a $160 scale when normal scales are $20 at Target? Think about when the last time your parents replaced their bathroom scale. Was it before you were born? Was it never? $160 isn't too much when you spread it...

With modern good looks, the Withings Body Scale tracks weight, BMI, and body fat percentage over time. Data is stored in the cloud and the scale supports many third-party fitness solutions
Despite an inferior build quality, the Body Scale is more expensive than the Fitbit Aria. Its interface is not as intuitive, and Withings' online tools are basic
The $159 ultraflexible Withings Body Scale, once the pinnacle of home weight measurement, is losing its edge in the face of better competition....
Unexplained occasional weight variance, PC Range www.wifiscale.com.au, Rating 4.5
Withings has dragged the scale into the 21st century, and has done a very good job indeed. Not only does it work well, it does it with a minimum of effort from the user. The only negative is that it occasionally records a widely varying weight. I ‘lost...
Provides weight, BMI , Wi-Fi integration is easy , Website provides lots of information , iPhone compatible , Supports up to eight weight profiles
Can't delete Twitter accounts , Automatic user detection is a bit wonky , BMI is still a contested metric , Can't weigh pets or very small humans , Expensive for a set of scales
We can't fault the technical genius of the Withings WifiScale, but at the same time you do pay a lot of money for a lot of gimmicks in a bathroom scale....

Abstract: It's not often that the word "stylish" is used to describe a weight scale, but that characteristic is very appropriate in this case. The WiFi scale is a sleek and well-designed gadget, sporting a modern metallic combination of tempered glass atop electrod...
Abstract: You won't particularly notice this in the sense of there being a paucity of neat, glossy gadgets for me to tell you about in the months to come. But barring the Apple iPad , which, from what we know at the time of writing, isn't quite as “magical” as Stev...
Abstract: While these scales do tell your weight they also tell you your fat mass and even your body mass index. Unlike the only other device I have seen that did all this that cost into four figures this one only just creeps into three....
