The look of stainless steel has proven itself to be an ideal base color for the home because of its ability to live in harmony with so many other different colors and materials. One flaw with stainless steel is that it shows every smudge and print. The Taylor 7413 digital scale uses the look of stainless steel, adds a textured finish and oversized backlit display creating a digital scale unlike any other that won"t show smudges or fingerprints. The 7413 digital scale is made up of a 6 mm thick tempered glass platform covered by a textured stainless steel like layer. The Accu-Glo blue backlight brightly illuminates your weight measurement in a vibrant blue hue. The huge 4.23 inch by 2.3 inch LCD readout makes your weight measurement easily visible from every angle, even in dim light. The thin profile makes it ideal to store in the tightest of spaces. The 7413 proudly offers Taylor"s auto on function. This 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. Make sure your scale is sitting on a flat, level surface. As soon as you step on the scale, the strain gauge mechanisms engage to calculate and display your weight measurement in seconds. The scale turns off automatically too. The scale is calibrated to handle a large weight capacity of 400 pound or 180 kilograms. The scale weighs in 0.2 pound or 0.1 kg increments so you get a more precise reading. The scale has a 5 year warranty and runs on 2 AAA batteries (included).
