The types of scales available to consumers today are astounding. There's the scale that will tweet your weight to everyone via Twitter. The scale designed to look like a box of chocolates. And the "doormat scale," a scale embedded in a coconut fiber doormat.
There are scales that speak, scales that connect to wireless networks, and scales that pass for fine furniture.
In short, anyone entering this new decade with a resolve to closely monitor weight and fitness has countless options -- from humble, low-tech analog scales to digital scales soaring sky high on function and design.
Soehnle scales by Leifheit are world-renowned for their reliability and futuristic features - and a fascinating history that spans 132 years of innovation, including:
* The world's first diet computer,
* The world's first personal solar scale, and
* The world's first solar kitchen scale
Today, Leifheit offers consumers nearly two dozen Soehnle personal scales, including the 2009 Housewares Award finalist, the Body Balance Slim FT5.
Indeed, something for everyone in 2010.
