I need to buy a new scale but I want one that is accurate. Does anyone have any suggestions on scales?

    I am looking for one as well. I've looked at Omron and EatSmart ones. Both are highly rated on amazon but both have some reviews saying they are inaccurate. If anyone else has any thoughts on the accuracy of these or any other brands, I would love to hear it!!

    I ordered this one today. It had a handful of bad reviews (no items will have 0 if more than 10 people bough it). However, it had hundreds of 5 star reviews.

    I have been looking at that exact one which measures % Body Fat, % Total Body Water, % Muscle Mass and Bone Mass. Do you like it and is it accurate for you in regards to weight and %body fat?
    For the price, this is the other one I am comparing it to: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IV61J4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER. This one gives you info on Body fat%, Body mass index (BMI), Skeletal muscle%, Visceral fat level.
    On the fence for these two. Not sure which one to get.

    Unfortunately I haven't gotten yet. I literally just ordered it like 10 minutes before I saw this post. I'm not sure if I will trust many of the measurements outside of the weight, but thought I would give it a try anyway. I've heard most people say it is pretty much right on with weight measurements as compared to the doctor's office scales. I guess I'l wait and see about the % body fat. If it can give me the right number within 2%, then I'll be satisfied.

    Invest in a tape measure also, I find that the scales can just frustrate you too much at times..
    I know I've lost more than the scales is saying but I'm building more muscle aswell..

    Walmart sells a Weight Watchers scale which I have found to be pretty good.

    Just got it in today. It seems pretty accurate with its measurements. It looks like a keeper to me. I recommend it.

    I bought mine at Walmart it holds up to 4 peoples weights etc.. i think it was like $32 bucks or something. It is exactly the same weight shown at the scale at the gym so I'm happy with it :)

    Thanks for the quick review! I decided to get an Omron as it was only $10 more and gave more information. I'm a stats nut!! It was a really hard choice for me though. It should arrive today hopefully!!
