Dis-Chem
Products claim unsubstantiated

HelloPeter

I bought an Electronic Bathroom scale from Dischem, that is suppose to measure weight, fat %, BMI, etc. for up to 150kg individual.

I took it back because it only measured my weight, and I thought it was malfunctioning. To my surprise and dismay, it worked properly only for individuals that are 80kg and below.

I say this because when tested at the store, using myself (83kg) and two of their staff who weighed (79.2) and (90.2) respectively. it worked well only with the lady who weighed less than 80kg. This is in spite of the fact that it claims to work till 150kg.

We tried another electronic scale and it was the same problem. I ended up buying a non-electronic one, which is not ideal for me because I can't read the numbers clearly.

I see this as false advertising or Dischem needs to recall the product and fix it. I expect more from them.
