The 7568 glass digital scale by Taylor is a rare combination of beauty and brawn. The delicate curved lines of the silver base are reminiscent of a butterfly drifting from flower to flower. The huge backlit display and ability to handle 440 pounds would make any monster truck jealous. Never has beauty and the beast been one and the same. The 7568 digital scale is made up of an 8 mm thick tempered glass platform in an over sized elliptical shape. The silver metallic base compliments the spun aluminum sensors. Your weight measurement is shown in a gigantic 3.75 inch by 2.5 inch LCD illuminated by Accu-Glo blue backlight. Your weight measurement is easily visible from every angle, even in dim light. The Taylor 7568 digital scale uses 4 spun aluminum sensors to measure your weight. Not only do these add to the beauty of the scale design, they are one of best materials used for electrodes for accuracy. A special UV glue is used to attach the sensors to the glass platform using an extreme heating process locking the 2 materials together in a super strong bond. The 7568 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 an amazing weight capacity of 440 pound or 200 kilograms. The scale weighs in 0.2 pound or 0.1 kg increments so you get a more precise reading. Everyone in the family, from school age children to adults can use the scale to achieve their fitness goals and stay healthy.
