This is a unique, digital scale which has 2 weighing ranges. The 1582 has a large LCD display, a kg/lb switch and a zero/tare function. There are few low cost scales that successfully combine the role of accurate baby and adult scale but the 1582 does this. It is a reliable, accurate, tried and tested model. Due to the low profile design and modest carry weight the 1582 is ideal for portable: a carry bag is available, as well as clinic use. The plastic baby tray slides off to reveal a flat platform for toddler or adult weighing. It is powered by standard batteries. This model does not comply with the EC directive for medical scales.
