The Price of Scales - The Truth Behind the Numbers
Look. When you search for scales, this is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Makes perfect sense - we all do price comparisons on Zap before buying anything, right? But... and this is a huge but. A cheap plastic scale from some Chinese website that arrives after two months. Well, you know how it ends. Works for two weeks and then starts to fake it, a kilo here, a kilo there. Here at TopMarket - which, by the way, is developing into the leading Israeli online scale store for those looking for reliability - we decided to cut the bullshit. We brought in body and kitchen scales from real brands. Official importer only (yes, it's critical, I'll explain soon). Fast delivery to your door. And honestly? Prices that make sense.What's the Deal with All These Smart Scales Now?
We used to step on a creaky mechanical scale, close our eyes, step off, and that was it. Today? Buying scales online has become quite a technological project. A smart scale with an app measures your body fat percentage, muscle mass, body water. Like... it's crazy how much information you get at home. Many ask where to buy scales in Israel that won't cause problems with the app. A Xiaomi scale or a Garmin Bluetooth scale solves this. They connect in English or Hebrew on your smartphone in seconds. Insane accuracy. A thin design of tempered glass that won't break if something accidentally falls on it in the bathroom. And while we're talking about it - anyone who bakes at home absolutely, positively needs a kitchen scale. You can't make a precise cake with "cups" and spoons. A digital kitchen scale with an LCD display and an accuracy of 1 gram. That's the difference between a cake that falls and something from a patisserie.Official Importer or Parallel Import? (Most Israelis' Mistake)
I'll tell you what drives me crazy. People look for cheap scales, buy parallel imports, and after six months when the scale's sensor breaks - there's no one to talk to. They ask me which scales are best to buy in 2026? My answer is first and foremost - the one with the official importer's warranty. Hamilton (for Xiaomi), Selmor, Beurer (the Germans, who are great by the way)... When you have the backing of an official importer for an electronic device, a year of warranty is truly a year of warranty. Plus, with us, you can pay in up to 36 interest-free installments. Special price scales online can end up being about 15 shekels a month. You're going to save on that?Recommended Scales 2026 - Our Top 3

Frequently Asked Questions Before Buying a Scale (FAQ)
How to choose a recommended body scale?
First, decide if you want a smart scale (that connects to your phone and measures muscle mass and fat) or a regular digital one. If you're into fitness or on a diet - smart is a must. Beyond that - make sure it's made of tempered glass, measures at least up to 150 kg, and comes from an official importer.
What's the difference between an official importer and parallel import for Xiaomi scales?
Night and day. An official importer (like the Hamilton group, for example) means you have original warranty. For delicate devices that require calibration like scales, if there's a sensor malfunction with a parallel import, they'll make your life hell until they replace it. An official one simply gives you a new one in case of a genuine manufacturing defect.
Does the smart scale connect to an app in Hebrew/English?
Yes! Most of today's leading scales (Xiaomi, Garmin) connect in seconds with user-friendly apps in English and usually with excellent Hebrew support as well. Everything is displayed in easy-to-understand graphs, even if you're not a tech person.
Which kitchen scale is most accurate for baking?
Buying kitchen scales is easy - look for a digital scale that says "1 gram accuracy". Brands like Beurer or Selmor do an excellent job. Never buy a mechanical one for the kitchen - it's a nightmare to bake with.
How much does a quality digital scale cost?
Look, asking how much scales cost is like asking how much a car costs. But generally - a good regular scale starts around 80-100 shekels. Smarter and more advanced scales range from 150 to 300 shekels. At TopMarket, you'll always find deals that cut that down a bit, and also the option to pay in installments.
