Help please!

I would appreciate it if anyone could recommend some accurate, reliable but affordable scales. I am so fed up with mine, I keep getting different readings so I don't really know what I now weight. I can stand on them it say one thing, get off, then back on and it can be 5 pounds difference!

Thank you :angry:

    I have these Weight Watchers ones... They seem to work well for me!

    Quite expensive but I'm sure you can find it cheaper elsewhere

    Hi the scale I use is the Weightwatchers precision electronic doctors scale from Argos number 832/4647 £38.99 . Must say they are very good and always give me the same reading Even got on and off them 10 times and where always right . But they are not small but very light so easy to put away.

    I got those;

    Hate those TBH.... Good I got them on sale for half price. The feet keep on coming off (scales not my own) and you can not weigh the sutcase or anything other than a human.. phewwwwww seriously - I needed scales to check weight of other things as well as myself...

    They got great reviews but I really do not like them...

    I have these salter scales, work fine for me. On offer at argos - I think they were on offer at the time which is why I picked them.

    You do need to use digital scales on a hard floor though (avoid carpet) and I always position them in the same place on the floor (we have an old house with uneven floors) just in case there is a slight change.
