There’s no appliance in the home that’s more hated than the bathroom scale. Bathroom scales are a dieter’s arch nemesis, innocent-looking objects that have the power to ruin someone’s mood.

But much as we hate them, most of us have bathroom scales and use them (semi) regularly. So take the dread out of your weigh-ins with a cool, clever, or creative bathroom scale; even if the numbers are unsatisfactory, you’ll still love using it. And maybe it will even motivate you to step on it more often!

Sometimes a fun color or luxe finish is enough to entice you to use your scale:

But a high-tech or unusual scale is more likely to get you to step on it frequently. Check these out (many are concepts, but too cool to leave out):

Similar, but not quite as subtle:
