Is it a good idea to leave a digital scale in the bathroom

Question

i just bought a nice digital scale but i'm afraid of it getting wet from steam and not working anymore and i'm scared it might explode like in the cartoons. lol jk no but seriously should i leave it there or put it in a closet until i use it.

Answer 1

I've always keep my digital scale in the bathroom and nothing has happened to it.

But maybe if you read the  manual that came with the scale it might have more information on possible water damage from high-humidity.

Answer 2

digital scales are designed for bathrooms. careful consideration re: steam, etc is put into their design. Your scale will be fine and will not explode. Stay away from the cartoons! jk  

Answer 3

Better to be safe then sorry I would leave the scale in the bathroom until you are ready to use it, but remember that you need to place the scale on a tile or hard floor before using it.  You will not get a true reading on carpeting.
