Hi there,

My bathroom scale is kaput and I need to get a new one. Any ideas for good scale under $50?

Thx,

Jean

    They're really all about the same - - equally unreliable and inconsistent. Just let your fingers do the walking on Amazon and pick one w/the looks and features you like best.

    I know you said under $50 but take a look at the Withings scale if you have not already. It's pricey but has wifi connectivity. You can keep a history of every measurement and even download them to make graphs in excel. You can also sync it with MFP and chart here.

    I bought a bluetooth scale for under $59.99. It will allow the whole family to weigh on their own user account. Had to go with an android app (I do not own an iphone).

    I bought a glass health o meter scale at Walmart for $30. It's always consistent. Love it!

    I got this one expecting to hate it (as I've hated every other scale I've bought). But it turns out to be accurate (at least, to itself) and consistent. Super easy to read, too.

    And it came with multiple avenues of support, including an email from the Amazon vendor should I need any help, which I haven't.

    Whatever you do, don't waste money on one that claims to tell you your BF%. Meaning, if the BF% one is cheaper, fine - just don't pay any attention to it. But don't spend however much more money, thinking the BF% one is better. It isn't.
