No scale is particularly accurate when it comes to body fat.

I use this scale and I like it but take everything besides the weight as just an estimate. I don't think it would be able to get an accurate body fat %.0

This seems typical of the scales.
So any given data point is a pile of crap, but the overall trend MAY be useful if you track for a while and realize that the line could be moved up or down several points.1
