Scale recommandations

Hej
So I was pretty happy with my scale, but recently it has been giving very inconsistent results - I get on it, get a reading, get of it, reset it, get back and get a reading that is a kilo and a half more than the last one - or a kilo and a half less, or somewhere in between. The scale is supposed to be accurate for 0.2kg and my body can't possibly change that much is such a short span of time. Besides it was a cheap one I brought because I got curious.
This is really fustrating, because I am either really close, at, or below my goal and I don't know which it is...
So new scale recommendations, anyway one? I know MFP recommend a fancy one, fitbit has a different one but all I really need is an accurate, consistent weight bf%, wifi support, etc. are nice I suppose but in no way required. I don't trust the bf% anyways and I can totally spend 20 seconds logging my weight.
Just a consistent reading, even if the scale is moved.
Cost is not a great concern, but I am in Europe, so I need it to support metric and be available here (fine if online only).
