In this sense, you can find two types of personal scales on the market, such as mechanical (analog) scales, which are where the measurement is read on a rotating disc that has the range of values ​​expressed in kilograms recorded, they are less accurate than electronics and its maximum capacity is approximately 130 kg.

While electronic (digital) scales have a measurement that is shown directly on a digital screen (display) and need batteries to work, they are also more accurate and have a maximum capacity of up to 180 kg.

In that same context, consumers must take into account, when buying a scale, the various options and the budget that is available.

Ask for the guarantee to be stamped in the store, because it will be necessary in case you need to make a claim ”, they explain.
