Noun 1. mechanical scales These look just like the oldfashioned, traditional scales you would get in an old doctor's surgery. The retro [Latin, Back; backward; behind.] A prefix used to designate a prior condition or time. design is timeless. There's a no-fuss, nononsense feel about them and I like the easy-to-read dial. There's also no need for batteries, you'll have them for ages and they will look great in a traditional-style bathroom. Stars: **** Price: pounds 24.46 Available: Lakeland Mallen scales I love the bright blue colour of these funky-looking scales which will add a touch of brightness to any bathroom. They are sturdy and easy to look after with a wipe-clean surface. The handle makes them easy to lift and carry around. The dial is slightly small than some of the others but it's a small gripe gripe v. To have sharp pains in the bowels. n. 1. gripes Sharp, spasmodic pains in the bowels. 2. A firm hold; a grasp. . These scales can be yours for under a tenner and you can't argue with that kind of value. Stars: *** Price: pounds 8.80 Available: IKEA IKEA Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd (Swedish home furnishings retailer founder's initials and location) Dualit bathroom scales Check out these gorgeous scales in polished chrome with a non-slip platform. I also love the large dial, which is easy to read and I'd be proud to display these in my bathroom. The downside is the price, they are pretty expensive and I'm not sure I'd be willing to fork out this much for bathroom scales. But you do get what you pay for and these will last for years. Stars: *** Price: pounds 77 Available: John Lewis Weight Watchers' LCD electronic scale This set of scales operate by battery and they have a silver plastic finish. I like that they are slimline and they could easily be stored away somewhere out of view. The panel displaying your weight is quite small but being electronic, it is easy to see and precise. They also come with a 10-year guarantee and the price is pretty reasonable. Stars: *** Price: pounds 17.99 Available: Tesco Direct EKS EKS Elektromagnetik Dr. Scheuerer KG (German solenoid manufacturer) EKS Everett Kaser Software (shareware company) EKS Electrokinetic Signal (rock permeability) slimline black glass scale How trendy are these scales with their shiny, black glass finish? They are also slimline and can be stored away easily - but when they look this good you will probably want to keep them on display. I also like that there's a low battery warning and an automatic shut-off. The LCD display is small but the numbers are large and easy to read. All in all, a decent buy for the price.
