No matter how much you clean and try to keep your house safe for your family, your environment, especially your bathroom, is always susceptible to mold and bacteria. Taylor has developed a way to combat one source of germs from your house, the 7048 digital scale with an antimicrobial platform. The 7048 digital scale by Taylor provides an attractive, generously sized scale with an antimicrobial substance built right into the platform. This special additive inhibits the growth of bacterial odor and mold protecting your family. The built in handle makes it easy to pick up the scale and transport it to any location in your house. The 12 inch by 12.4 inch platform size provides plenty of room for your feet to stand comfortably and has a textured finish to reduce slipping. The no slip feet protect floors and keep the scale level and safe. The easy to use auto on function means the scale is working the second you put your foot on the scale. No more pressing buttons or tapping on the platform and waiting for the scale to activate anymore. As soon as you step on the scale, the strain gauge mechanisms are working to calculate your weight reading. The scale has a capacity of 350 pound. Weight can be displayed in either LB or KG. The scale weighs in 0.2 pound or 0.1 kg increments so you get a more precise reading. Your weight is shown in an easy to read LCD with 1 inch tall digits framed with a silver accent. The black digits on a gray background are easily visible from every angle, even in dim light. The scale has a 5 year warranty and runs on 2 AAA batteries (included). The 7048 digital bath scale from Taylor does its part to keep your family safe from harmful mold and odors.
