Scales

Hello All!

I've been getting frustrated with my rather cheap bathroom scale (about $7.00) as the accuracy is clearly not right, it can have a 2-4 lb difference depending on where I stand on it, or if it's moved to a different part of the floor.

So I'm looking for a better one and wanted to know if you have some suggestions. I'm willing to spend more money on the scale, but still don't want it to be unreasonably expensive (I'm hoping to keep it under $50 if possible).

Suggestions?

Thanks!

    I share your frustration. All digital scales even the expensive ones seem to do that. So I try my best to stand in the same spot every time. I think the accurate one will be the one in Doctor's office or in Gym.

    I had a 40 dollar scale that was so bad it would weigh anywhere from 15lbs over or under depending on where you stood, and where your center of balance was. It was so frustrating I finally got rid of it and got a cheaper scale that's accuracy is much better.
