Scales -- Ozeri? EatSmart? Other? - care to wiegh in?
I did do a search on the site about scales -- but thought I would reach out to Ontario group for fresh feedback. I am shopping for new kitchen and bathroom scales - my kitchen counter and bathroom floor space are small so don't want scales that will overwhelm. Wary of small scales being easy to read - despite just having had cataract surgery (thought I was too young for that, but I digress). Also want easy clean.
Bathroom scales - anyone tried either Ozeri or EatSmart? Just $2 difference between the two, look identical! Other options? Don't want to go too high tech - and certainly nothing that talks to me!
Kitchen scales - I expect the flat ones take up the least amount of space as they could be slid in on side beside my knife block. Thoughts?
Here's how old school I am:
Bathroom scale: Up until about a year ago I used the same bathroom scale I received as a wedding shower gift 26 years ago. Thaaaaat's right... give the fat girl a freakin' scale as a gift. Very nice. Recently I bought a Weigh****chers scale at Giant Tiger of all places for $15. It's extremely accurate, looks nice, cleans up well. It came with inspirational stickers to apply, or you could write your own. (Yes, I wrote my own because it makes me laugh every morning - "Don't. Eat. **** And have a nice day." ;)
Kitchen scale: I used my old Weigh****chers scale from MANY years ago. Still works. lol

I have stuck to my old mechanical scales forever, no dead battery issues, easy clean. When my eyesight took a nose dive a couple of years ago -- bending down to take a closer look at those fuzzy numbers was a no go. Time to go digital but not obsessively so.
Stickers??? May I be so bold as to suggest that if you still have that wedding gift, wrap it beautifully (over-the-top) with a "Return to Sender" sticker on it and send it back to the well intentioned soul who gifted it to you. Doubt you will do this -- but fun to imagine!
You don't know me very well yet - if I still had that scale, I would have gladly hand-delivered it to my very snotty (and now very overweight) ex- sister in law. LOL

My bathroom scale is a Beurer. It's supposed to calculate your hydration and body fat. My athlete friends use it, I just haven't set mine up yet. Plus, I figure it will scream, "are you f'ing serious?" When it gets to the percent body fat.
i use an ouzeri for my kitchen scale. I used. To have a weigh****chers scale, but it was lost when I moved and this seems easier to clean. Very thin profile.

Weigh****chers is good. My WW scale calculates body fat and water percentages, BMI, weight, and some other numbers. I use a Starfrit glass scale in the kitchen it works great, shuts off on it's own, you can change from ounces to grams, and it was on sale at Canadian Tire.
