Summary: There are better scales around...
Comment: I bought this scale over 6 months ago and it seems more recently that the measured weight is fluctuating by 2-3 pounds. So I am not sure what my weight is around. I think digital scales will fluctuate somewhat but by smaller amounts but there are other issues with this scale. This includes how one steps on the scale, places their feet and how much pressure one places which will rapidly change the results. Since there are no instructions how to do this it is hard to get a real result.

I agree with some of the other reviews. I have seen on occasions 5 different readings on 5 different attempts. When I decide to weigh myself a little later, my weight is probably much different.

So... It is worth buying a better scale even if it will cost more...

Summary: batteries don't last
Comment:
I had to replace the batteries constantly, and we only used the scale once a day. Batteries would last a week or two tops

Don't buy!

Summary: Had it a month and it works well
Comment: After reading all the other reviews we selected this one. If there is one weakness it is that it's an LCD display (large #) but not easy to read in a darker room. The one we used to have lighted up.

I'm guessing it is accurate as it's pretty consistent.

Summary: A stylish accurate bargain!
Comment: I did a good bit of research on scales to learn both what's important and not. I found exactly what I wanted with this purchase. It is stylish, which wasn't a priority but hey! why not? It is simple to use. People complained about how the accuracy. I used it to weigh myself several times in a row on my analog scale just to get an average. With this scale, I did it at first and found it would typically read exactly the same several times over, down to the tenth of a pound. Finally I realized only one weighing was necessary. It is made of plastic and glass so there is no worry of rust or corrosion as with my metal scale. Also lightweight. And finally the price was great. I haven't any negatives at this point. Time will tell on the life of the battery. But that is minor/
