Floor scales

Floor-standing electronic

— the electronic floor type is designed for home weighing of a person with results displayed digitally. These scales operate on batteries or a rechargeable battery, automatically turn on when weight is applied, and usually turn off after use.

The main difference from mechanical models is more precise indication and the potential for adding "smart" features. For example, simple electronic scales only show body weight, while diagnostic models can additionally assess the percentage of fat, water, muscle mass, and other indicators.
