Can you recommend an EXCELLENT bathroom scale?

I've gone through several bathroom scales (no, I'm not THAT fat) because they give inconsistent measurements. It becomes difficult to stay motivated when the metrics vary widely (even within a few minutes).
So, if you have a scale that you love, please tell me what it is.
Thank you!

I have a Tanita Ironman that I like. Pretty much any of the Tanita's are good.0

I have this one that I love:

The only disclaimer I would give is it sometimes gives an incorrect reading if it is moved and you weight before it re-calibrates. Beyond that, it is very consistent.0 -

Thank you for your reply! That looks like a serious scale!0 -

Thank you for the information! I think I will buy this one as it does everything I'd want it to do and it is a reasonable price. In addition, it is kind of cool being able to track body fat as well. :-)0 -
I use the one my ex husband's ex wife bought 20 years ago. It works. Boy, it's seen some numbers.0

I have a Withings with WiFi. It uploads weights directly into my account so it is on my iPhone. It also does body fat although that is probably a bit iffy.
The FitBit people have a scale as well that does the above that I thought about getting but it wasn't out yet and I have the Withings blood pressure monitor so stuck with them to get the matched set. Looks like it does about the same.0 -
Great thread!! I've been thinking about getting a new scale as well. I've heard good things about the Tanita scales. I'm curious to read other replies.0

I love my Fitbit Aria. Since I use a Fitbit Ultra to track my steps & stairs, it works out really well. You have a Fitbit account and the Aria scale will automatically upload your weight (keeps it private so no one sees it). And it measures your body fat percentage. The Fitbit account has all kinds of stats available with charts so you know your progress. http://www.fitbit.com/product/aria0

I have an EatSmart scale - I think its the same one that Mike is talking about. I love it. Quite accurate, sleek, easy to use0 -
I've got a salter scale. You can do fat, muscle, and water %. One thing I would say about any scale is make sure you use the same area of floor wether it be carpet or wood so you get a consistent measurement. Happy scale hunting!0
