    Oh man! Just bought a $30 one in the ebay sales! Doh!

      You have effectively lowered your cost per unit to $19.50 per unit. To get to the point of buying at cheaper than ordinary $15, you need to buy another 3 from this deal. Will then make $57 for 4. It will be $14.25 per unit. You have saved 75 cents for buying another 2 when you read this =)

    Were $15-18 @HN when I picked up a $6 Lavazza coffee machine over a week ago.

    But I find these type of scales don't last long. A $12 DealDirect one stopped after 6 months of infrequent use (refunded), a $10 Aldi lasted beyond just its warranty. Display starts flashing sequence, or segments fail to display - poorly made.

    Have been waiting for a name brand like Salter with 15 year warranty but it's $30 @HN.

    Will buy 1 more time…

    • aec on 16/09/2014 - 12:20

      mine from dealdirect still works very well after more than one year. i think the "trick" is not to leave it in your bathroom. moisture ruins everything.

      • INFIDEL on 16/09/2014 - 12:37
        +1

        I wasn't even in the country - it failed stored in its box in the cupboard. But water is it's greatest enemy.

        There were many different models. DealsDirect weren't surprised it failed.

        I dismantled last 2 - some parts were taped in position, conductive element between circuit board & LCD was loose - hence display elements faulty, poor soldering, shoddy wiring. With all that potential to fail in these cheap units, just a bump may knock them out.

        Gone back to ancient analog scale - not as easy to read (only used about 6 times a year so no issue), does not appear as accurate as only shows kg not grams (that's only the perception of precision), but reliable.

        Of course it's free to check your weight on scales at chemist or doctors. Don't really see need for personal one.

      • cannedhams on 16/09/2014 - 12:58

        My dealsdirect one works okay too (the bamboo one). Only prob is that it depends on the floor being perfectly level in order to work.

      Have been waiting for a name brand like Salter with 15 year warranty but it's $30 @HN.

      as per your link to my deal it's $19.95 @ Harris Scarfe - price match at HN :)

      • INFIDEL on 18/09/2014 - 05:19

        Tonester - thanks so much :-)
        And 5c cheaper than that deal I missed. A much better scale than this deal. Pity the new Brisbane suburban store a short walk from me is yet to open - the only 1 is on the other side of Brissie. I'll give HS a call to see if it's same price in store to avoid $10 delivery.

    Measures and withstands up to 180kg total weight

    That's good to know. I wouldn't want it to tell me I weighed 170 kg and then immediately break.

    • syousef on 16/09/2014 - 12:34
      +2

      If you hover around or over 120kg it can be quite frustrating because that's where a lot of scales top out. Don't know what it's like now but it use to be rare to find one that works over 150kg. Even the Wii balance board isn't rated over that.

      You can calculate bmi manually if you know your height. Just google bmi calculator.

  • MrSpec on 17/09/2014 - 11:49

    just bought one at Rothwell normal price was $19.95. not sure if it does anything but tell you what you weigh, body mass etc looks unlikely :(

    Looks like deal is still available but you have to manually go to the "hot deals" page on the HN site, current link doesn't let you add to your cart.

    • INFIDEL on 17/09/2014 - 20:29

      Can confirm that. Allows me to order pickup in Brisbane.

    • Skinnerr on 17/09/2014 - 21:58

      I did this, still cant add to cart :(
      Oh well, ill make a trip down there tomorrow.

      • INFIDEL on 18/09/2014 - 06:08

        Still works for me in Brisbane - click deal link (no Add To Cart), go to Hot Deals link, click add to cart from there, go to cart, select store.

        • Skinnerr on 22/09/2014 - 20:37

          Tried every which way, didnt work. Went down there and scored myself 3, and there was a few left at coburg store (vic).

    Can't understand why OzBargainers are so excited for this deal? Around $10 is a pretty regular sale price for this type of cheap basic scale. Could it be this time of year when people uncover more?

    None of these deals got the response this did.
    $2 limited availability (41+)
    $5 limited availability (14+)
    $10 Aldi (12+)
    $10 Deals Direct (free shipping) (60+)

    Have picked up more featured body fat analysis scales from Aldi for $10.

    For those still wanting bathroom scales Harris Scarfe may still have stock of $5 digital bathroom scales or $10 bamboo ones in store, sold out online. Or the better $19.95 Salter ones posted by tonester above with 15 year warranty - try in store to avoid delivery, as in this deal.

    Whirlpool advice is to look out for good HS sales on bathroom scales.

      Thanks Bruce - just got the $5 HS one put on hold to buy later. Last one in store!

    • Skinnerr on 22/09/2014 - 20:38

      Not everyone is on ozbargain all the time or catches every deal. Ive been after a cheaper digital scale for a while and have always missed out, till now.

      • INFIDEL on 22/09/2014 - 21:00
        +1

        Still doesn't explain why this basic scale got 172 + against other similar or better scales at about same price with almost no votes??

        I gave the example that this scale is 80% dearer than the similar HS unit. These cheap prices are quite common, so I would not have even thought about posting the $5 scales.

        As I posted at the start of the deal, these type of scales are poorly manufactured, having taken a couple apart after failing. When I saw piles of these in HN before this deal, I thought who would be foolish enough to buy them ;-)

  • carrie810 on 24/09/2014 - 12:54

    I think my order is cancelled too. But email only saying delay …

  • anonymoususer on 28/10/2014 - 19:45

    Not even worth of $9. Lucky those who missed out.
    Scale don't show consistent result. Anyone with same observation?
