I need a scale that can be stored vertically when not in use. How does this one stack up on that issue?

It would be fine, but it would have to be sandwhiched between two things, like in your cabinet.

I am not too sure. My guess is that is would be fine. It's a very Nice scale... My daughter comes over once a week to weigh her self - she doesn't like the one that they have at the house...

The edges are curved, which would work against it standing up easier in a vertical configuration. The base is also made of "impact-resistant tempered glass" and I'd personally not want to "test" it too much. In theory, if it were carefully leaned against the wall of a cabinet under a sink, maybe tilted back a bit, or held in place by something... generally speaking, vertical storage probably wasn't considered in the design. EDIT: I will concur with Jennifer though, it is thin. I just set in on top of something else when I store it.

Dimensions are 9x7x2 and weighs 13 ounces. The top scale portion is made of tempered glass and the base is made of a heavy gage plastic. It is very well constructed. Definitely not flimsy or cheap. My buttons have not worn. Ive had the same scale for a few years now. It may be how you care for it in my opinion. Ive kept the plastic covering on my buttons for protection. Maybe why mine arent worn like the other user. I find it easier to clean the base/buttons that way. I also put cling wrap on my scale before I weigh items. Again ..for ease of cleaning after use. It looks and works perfectly every time.

It will not work well on a carpet. All digital scales need a flat even surface to produce accurate results. The four feet on these scales have sensors that need a firm floor for reliable measurements. One workaround might be to get a 1 x 1 foot flooring tile from home depot / lowes and use it between the scale and carpet.

you can use the app without having the scale. just enter the data manually this applies to most apps.

The top of the scale cleans up nicely with just a damp washcloth; however, the thing I think is neat is the "zero" function - you can put a plate or bowl on the scale and zero the weight. Then weigh your food into the plate or bowl, and this keeps the scale clean.

I have been using it for 6-7 years and have not changed it. Scale turns off if not in use

I just purchased one. The design is sleek, delivery was punctual. I like that you need only to step on it and the weight is displayed immediately. No zeroing, waiting, or resetting. I can't speak to how long it will last since I just received it. It only needs (1) 2032 battery. My previous scale required (2).

I don't know where you ordered from so I can't answer your question exactly, but i have the aws blade scale and I love it. The flat shape makes it so you can put anything on top regardless of physical size.

I have read all the answers to this question and apperantly I'm one of two people that don't have the scale integrated on the back up camera. I would have to look into it.

No, the display is not removable, even though it appears to be. But, the display will LOCK and HOLD the weight of an item for several seconds after the item is removed from the scale.

Yes you can place a large box on it and see the display. Whats great about this scale is that after you place your item on it, wait a couple of seconds, then all you have to do is press the hold button. You can then remove the box and the correct weight will display for about 5 to 8 seconds after.

The scale is self-calibrating (simply step on ,off and on again). It needs to be on a level hard floor (not carpeted). It is more accurate and consistent than several previous scales that we owned (both digital and analog). If it not as described, the unit might be defective. You can talk to customers' service which is supposed to be excellent per other veviewers.

I had that problem with one of our first scales. I called service had to eave a message. They called me back several times but we kept missing each other. In the mean time we stopped storing the scale on its side and the scales stopped displaying the error message. I have not had this probelm with the other 11 we have purchased. I hope that helps. If not call service, they are helpful.

Largely no, or not without a lot of trouble. The scale is too small, and the display has a very narrow viewable angle. You can finagle a view, as the other answers attest, but you will be annoyed every time that it's so hard to read.

I use mine vertically - have the top half packed full of records and only a handful on bottom and its held just fine. Go for it!

The scale is 12" by 12". Its a nice scale but has to be kept flat on the floor and not propped on the wall when nott in use or it has to recalculate each time and the weight won't be accurate until the second time weighing but if you keep it flat it is a great scale.

I do not believe the scale has a setting for storing measurements. I definitely did not find one...
