Hi everyone, I've been having a hell of a time with my digital scale at home right now, its been fluctuating 4-6 lbs just stepping on it from one second to the next...I was just wondering which scales you guys find more accurate, since I'm thinking about buying a new one. I've always felt that the ones that spin are more accurate but I'm really not sure...Any insight? I've heard that the doctor scales are pretty accurate, the ones where you move the little blocks around, but I can't get one of those lol

    Is your scale on a bathroom on a tile floor? Or on carpet? If so, get your old large cutting board and put it underneath. Also check the battery. Put a new one in. Make sure there is not rust/white crust on the connectors.
    I hate cheap batteries. User duracell or energizer for your scale.
    I have had good luck with Taylor brand scale from walmart. Not expensive.

    Someone here told me to buy a health o meter scale from Walmart. I did and it works perfectly.
