How hard is it to review a scale you might ask? Actually, these days it is harder than you might think. I was once sent a scale which had an app for you to sync your phone with the scale to track your weight changes. I refused to install the app as it required way too many permissions. You don't need to record from the microphone when weighing yourself.
Back to the Ozeri scale. The scale functions as a typical digital bathroom scale. We have one of those already, why might we change? Bigger display. We're all getting older. If you're having trouble reading the display, the display on this is larger than most digital scales I've seen. The digits are 1¼" tall. It comes with StepOn technology, which means you don't have to tap the scale to wake it up before getting on the scale. It has weight change detection technology. After weighing yourself, the display will show the difference from the last time you used the scale, green for weight loss and red for gains.
The weight change technology is a great feature of the scale, with one exception. What if multiple people share the scale? This indirectly tells you the weight of the other person if you wait to see how much your weight changed. What does "nocn" stand for? I guess "no change" but when I first saw that I started to wonder if the top of the lowercase h was missing on the last letter.
As the scale is digital, it comes auto-calibrated. You don't need to adjust it like you did an older scale that relied on springs which wore out over time to give you a bad weight eventually when things stretched too much. I had a slight issue here, or at least I wasn't sure of a few things. First, if you see the red/green images above, that was for picking up and putting down the second box for the scale. It didn't always increase / decrease by the same amount when the difference should have been the same. Secondly, I weighed myself on our old scale and this new one. It was consistently different by two tenths of a pound (.2). I don't know which scale is actually correct, but they were different. I preferred the one that is lower but it still was different. Short of getting a third scale and going with the weight that was the same on two of them... I just can't say which was right.
The scale goes up to 440 pounds / 200 kilograms. I personally don't need a scale that goes that high, however, the extra space is available. The scale is on the wider side, too, and can give your weight in stones even, if you happen to be in Australia, Great Britain, or Ireland and use the unit of measurement. As a point of comparison 11 stone 4 (11 stone - 4 pounds) equals approximately 72 kilograms or 158 pounds.
In addition to the scale, you also get a tape measure and body fat caliper. If you've never used a caliper, there are some videos on YouTube you can watch to learn how to use properly.
The scale runs on two AAA batteries. Thankfully, these come with the scale. I can't say how long these will last. I do have to say they took me a little while to find them. They were buried in the Styrofoam that protected the scale. I thought they would have been included with the caliper and tape measure.
The batteries go in a door on the base of the scale. It is protected by this cover with a small tip you press in to help open the cover. This snapped off on the first usage. Oops. If I ever need to change the batteries, I might need a screwdriver to pry the cover open.
Overall, I like the scale, you just kinda need his and hers ones. Given our current digital bathroom scale, the new features of this one wouldn't encourage me to upgrade. However, if you have an older spring based one, this is a definite improvement.

I like the weight change technology. We used to have a scale that did that and it was able to tell who was on the scale, so it could store multiple peoples weights. This one may be the same!
