I’m not someone who is obsessed with my weight, but I do like to monitor it as at present I am the correct weight for my height and I want it to stay that way. I have owned a couple of pairs of bathroom scales, but I have found that the cheaper scales don’t tend to give accurate readings. I prefer digital scales as I find they are more accurate and was brought a pair of Hanson HX5000 bathroom scales.

The majority of my home is modern, and although bathroom scales are only an accessory, I wanted them to be in keeping with the rest of my home as they are regularly on show. These scales are perfectly in keeping with my home as they have quite a stylish look as scales go. These scales are completely square and made of glass. They have a small digital oval panel at the top centre of the scales, but apart from that, these have quite a minimal but classy look to them.

Although made of glass, these are hard wearing and not at all flimsy or easily breakable. They take a maximum weight of 24st (150kg), so I would advise against these if your weight exceeds these limits. The required lithium battery is included in the box. Other features included on these scales are a low battery indicator and power saving auto-off.

Lets face it, there’s not too much you can say about bathroom scales. The main thing you want from them is for them to give an accurate weight reading consistently and not yo-yo as other scales have done in the past as this can be quite frustrating. That’s where these scales really excel themselves. I have owned these for a good few months now, and they have consistently given me constant weight readings which I know I can completely rely on.

So far, I have had no reliability issues with these scales and they have never failed to work first time when I have stepped on them. The digits are large, clear and easy to read too.

These scales aren’t cheap, but I was actually surprised that they are available at the price they are. I have found them on Amazon for £19.99, which I actually think makes them very good value for money. Hansons is a good quality manufacturer of scales and these certainly give Hansons a good name. They are sleek and stylish and most importantly, reliable. As they are made of glass, they are easy to wipe down and clean if they get a bit dusty and quite thin so tuck away nicely into a cupboard or corner of your bathroom if you don’t like them to be permanently on show.

In summary, if you are looking for a pair of digital bathroom scales, then I highly recommend you look at these. They really are great and I would happily purchase them again.
