What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives capacity as 400 lb in the title and 400 lb/180 kg/28 st in the description, but the details table states 181.44 kg. It also lists 0.05lb (0.02kg) readout accuracy while the description gives different increment ranges by load, and gives item weight as both 1.22 kg and 1.23 kg. Confirm the selected listing's capacity, precision and weight details. The stated 13 biometrics are not individually enumerated, and the low-weight mode, app links and warranty terms are listing claims.
