    Weight Watchers. Under $50 and pretty accurate.

    Drives me crazy when u can get on and off a scale many times in a row and have the number different each time and vary by a few lbs.

    We bought an EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale about 5 months ago and I love it. Inexpensive (< $30 on Amazon), accurate (readings don't change when stepped on multiple times), and basic - it doesn't remember your previous weight or store multiple people's readings, etc.

    I just bought a $20 Taylor scale at target, and the readings seem consistent. I'm glad I didn't spend more.

    I have a $25 glass taylor scale from walmart. Accurate too. No need to spend $50 on a scale.

    Mine is a digital "Health O Meter" - it wasn't expensive and is pretty accurate as far as I know. I weigh the same on my cheapie as my niece's expensive one. Sometimes moving a scale around will result in different readings (not really sure why) I just keep it in the same place all the time.

    I have an electronic/glass CVS one. Cost less than $20, and it's accurate down to tenths of pounds.

    I used to have a Weight Watches scale. It died after a few years. Now I have an Eat Smart digital scale I got from Amazon.com I like it. You don't have to tap it to get it to show the 00 like with the WW scale. This is what I have. 5 star reviews from those who bought it.

    HoMedics 315 Digital Scale at Bed Bath and Beyond, only $19.99. I have had mine for 14 years and it is accurate, same weight as when at my Doctor's office.

    We use the weight watchers one. It was fairly cheap at drug mart.

    I bought a $50 WW scale and it gave me different readings EVER SINGLE TIME I stepped on the scale....and I'm not talking .2 pounds difference....sometimes it was 7 pounds! So back it went and then I bought a regular $20 Taylor scale and it is amazingly consistent. I stand on it 4 times in a row and I get the exact same numbers 4 times. Imagine that lol!

    This is what i bought too. I do a ton of research on almost everything i buy online, and this was no exception. for the price i dont think it can be beat.
