Brabantia’s New Stainless Steel Bathroom Scales
To help you stay in shape and ensure a great figure, Brabantia is adding a stylish set of personal weighing scales to its stainless steel bathroom collection.
Minimalist, contemporary and practical, the new scales not only help you stay trim and look good, but enhance the look of your bathroom or shower room at the same time. And as well as an accurate, electronic weighing system, they also double as a useful bathroom clock: The scales feature a large, smooth and comfortable foot plate – suitable for big feet! – and an easy-read back-lit display with clear digital numerals. Accurate measurements are given in kilograms, pounds and stones with 0.1 kg, 0.1 lb and 0.1 stone graduations, up to a maximum capacity of 160 kg, 352 lbs and 25 stone. Easy to operate with a simple touch of the foot to start, power is provided by four 1.5 volt AAA batteries (included), and feature a battery saving function so power is switched off when not used for six seconds. Available in a practical Matt steel finish with Brabantia’s proven Fingerprint Proof coating to keep those annoying marks and stains at bay, the scales are easy to clean and made from high quality corrosion resistant materials, so ideally suited to damp, humid environments. Non skid as protective ‘feet’ help provide stability. For compact storage when not in use, the weighing scales are provided with a wall bracket, and can double as a wall clock.
As an easy and convenient way to measure body weight – accurately and on time! – the new weighing scales cost around £46.50 and are protected by a 5-year guarantee.
