Beurer BY80 Digital Baby Scale, Infant Scale for Weighing in Pounds, Ounces, or Kilograms up to 44 lbs with Hold Function, Pet Scale for Cats and Dogs Analysis

I bought this scale to monitor weight changes in my cats (I have a total of 7), specifically one senior cat who is no longer on a diet but continues to lose weight. This scale is perfect & super easy to use straight out of the box. The weighing deck is built into the stand so as long as you have a level surface (like your kitchen table) it is stable (tip proof & slide proof) and there is nothing to assemble, calibrate, test, or log into. Simply insert the pair of AA batteries that are included into its compartment, set your weight measuring option (oz, lb, or kg) depending on your preference or application and power on (Tare)! Weighing has been a breeze. Once on, wait for the display to set to zeros, add a few kitty treats, then place your cat on the surface & read the display. It can give you up to 3 decimal place accuracy depending on weight measurement option used. The weighing deck is a decent size and able to support my dog at 27.64 pounds (so small dogs & animals works fine)! *If you need to get an animal to ‘sit still’ long enough for their weight to register and they are food motivated… just add a treat or two to the deck! Recently, I have come to love having the ‘hold’ button feature. I haven’t had much occasion to use it, but learning to has been fun and it could come in handy for the pet you may need to restrain in a towel or its carrier. Anyway, this is where you would weigh the towel or cat carrier empty using ‘hold’ to freeze the weight, then weigh the cat secured in towel or the carrier, and the scale will automatically “subtract” the carrier/towel weight (hold weight) displaying only the weight of the cat. The first weight or ‘hold’ weight is the weight that is subtracted. This could come in handy for other applications and in weighing things around the house (not to exceed the 44 lb max) which is what I did originally, to test the feature. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The scale is modern looking, easy to use, accurate, BPA free and affordable. It’s easy to maintain as well as clean. It is also the same scale used at my pets animal hospital so I feel confident in the accuracy of the readout. It’s not big or bulky, but I don’t have the space to keep it out all the time, so when not in use I store it in its carry box in the closet. As for durability, only time will tell. As always will update of any changes. 5 Stars and I highly recommend!!!

For the first month of life, gaining weight for my newborn son was proving to be a challenge. Breastfeeding, as it turns out, is a lot harder than they make it look in the movies. Concerned about how much my son was consuming directly from the breast, my wife and I rented a hospital-grade scale from a local lactation consultant for a month (they actually sell it on Amazon, it's the Medela Baby Weigh II, and it costs an eye-watering $1600 at the time of this writing). We loved the convenience and piece of mind the scale brought, but wanted a scale for ourselves. Though this isn't the highest rated or best-selling baby scale on Amazon, it has the highest precision (5 grams). When it arrived, I immediately tested it by weighing objects on the two scales. My son's beluga whale doll weighed 196 grams on the hospital-grade scale and 195 grams on the Beurer. What I presume the 5 gram precision to mean is that if an object's true weight is 197 grams (for example) it will round down to 195; if it's true weight is 198 grams, it will round up to 200 grams. So if you're using this scale to get an estimate of how much milk your child is drawing from breastfeeding, it will be off by at most 2.5 grams (or 2.5 milliliters) which for $50 is definitely good enough. You have to end up paying A LOT more to get that extra precision a hospital grade offers. The scale has a tare button, a switch on the bottom to convert the display from pounds, to ounces, to kilograms. In my usage, I just keep it on kilograms, and if I need to convert to pounds, I just multiply by 2.2. It has an auto-hold feature where if your baby is squirmy, it will wait until it is more still before locking in on the weight. This is a great feature, but I haven't tested it out too much. I'd say the ONLY feature of this scale that I think is missing from the hospital-grade scale is the ability to display the weight in both pounds and ounces. If I kept the switch set to pounds, my son might weigh 10.8 pounds on this scale, but the hospital grade scale will read 10 pounds 13.4 ounces (for example). Not a big deal, since I can do the math in my head or use google to convert, but it's handy. Also, the hospital-grade scale was designed for the breastfeeding use case so it has buttons to remember the pre-feed and post-feed weights with a third button to calculate the difference. Again, I can do this manually, but it would be a killer feature for this product. For it's accuracy, price, and ease of use, I give it 5 stars. Adding the features I mentioned above would turn it into the rare 6 star product for me.

If you have a baby or small animal under 40lbs you need this scale! Super easy to use and apparently very accurate. Also much more stable than other scales that have a fold up tray. My kitty girl started gaining weight after switching to a kidney specific food and needed to monitor and reduce food. The scale matched exactly what the scale read at the vet.

I bought this because my cat was dying of kidney disease and I wanted to keep track of her weight. It was fine for that purpose, I was looking to see if she lost or gained a lot of weight (a pound is a lot) as an indicator of how well she was doing. So from day to day it worked fine, it was pretty easy to use once she got used to it. But I noted it was about half a pound off from the scale at the vet's office. Since my interest was relative loss or gain it didn't matter much. But if you are going to rely on accuracy you might investigate whether it can be calibrated. Of course the vet could have a bad scale for all I know but I think we got weighed in different rooms so ... My cat passed on and I could see she was getting to the end when I saw her losing weight every day for a week. The scale was good enough to do what I needed.

I run an animal rescue organization and needed a scale for my rescues. One of the specific reasons I purchased it now is because of one of my personal cats, Ninja. He recently had to have his front leg amputated due to cancer. Since there are always several cats in my household it is sometimes hard to know which cat ate and how much they ate. I need to keep a close eye on Ninja's weight especially, so I know if he's getting enough to eat. This scale works perfect for exactly what I need. I also need to be able to weigh all of my cats and small dogs so I know which size flea medication I need to apply to them. This scale is going to be a time saver (so I don't have to take anyone to the vet just to get weighed). But what this scale is going to do even more for me is to give me peace of mind so I'm not constantly worried about Ninja's food intake. I do feed him separately but he also has access to the food for the rest of the cats. This digital baby scale is larger than I expected, which is a good thing. My large cats and small dogs fit perfectly on it! I am absolutely thrilled with this scale and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an accurate scale to either weigh your pets or your human babies on. I love the curved design, which makes it comfortable for Ninja and all of my fur babies to lay down on. Btw, I weighed Ninja several times and each time it said the exact same weight, which is crucial. *Note* In the photos of Ninja the scale is reading 00.000, but only because he didn't feel like getting his picture taken so I pressed tare while he was on it and forgot to pick him up before I pressed tare. He laid down so I hurried up and snapped a couple of photos instead of picking him back up to show his weight. I thought it was important to show that he can lay down on it comfortably. For reference, the dog (Jack) that is in the photo is a Pomchi (Pomeranian / Chihuahua mix). I hope this review helps anyone who is looking for an accurate, large, comfortable scale for either pets or babies.

Perfect scale for weighing all my pets. It’s really flat and space saving. The digital display is very accurate and easy to use. This was a great purchase.

Bought this when I was anxious about whether my daughter was getting enough while I was nursing. Not accurate enough for weighted feeds probably but I was able to see her gaining weight and that helped a lot!

Easy to use and wipe down. Flat enough to store under my son’s dresser. Battery life is great. Display is easy to see, but not visible in the dark (e.g. if you’re trying to do a MOTN pre-post feed check). Good for if you want a ball park weight for your infant. Not reliable for a pre-post breastfeeding check to see how much baby transferred. It read that my son was a bit lighter AFTER a feed.

Showing inaccurate values, waste of money

Love its sleek look and easy to use all functions. Did not need to read instructions. Easy wipe down to clean, lightweight with sturdy box with handle to transport. Batteries supplied and they work. Only thing I would have liked to come with it is a carry case

The product was handy,light and easy to use,.,worth the waiting and recommended to all who need a realiable and accurate one,.,
