CVS digital body scale, how accurate?

I just bought the CVS digital body scale and it doesnt seem super accurate. Every time i get on it, or if i move it to a different spot, it gives me a different weight of about 5 pounds difference. am i doing something wrong with it? does anyone have any experience with its accuracy or know any better scales?

  • Hi there,
    Are you placing it on hardwood with no slant. You can always check if it makes a click noise when you step on... if you do so, then it is leaning to one side or another. I bought the scale in December of last year, so just a few months back. I have found it to be accurate, actually, very accurate. I would test it with 2 liters of soda which ways 10 pounds (step on without it, and then step on with holding the 2 liters, or some form of weights, hey, you could even do a gallon of milk).

    Let me know if there is anything else I can do!
