A reliable bathroom scale?

savimal · February 2011

Hi
I own a Health O Meter scale, but it seems to be way off and inconsistent with my weight. It shows I am off by 4-6 pounds even during the same weigh in.

Any inputs on a reliable bathroom scale for 50$ or less?

Thanks
Savitha

Consumer Reports rates the Taylor model# 7506 as the best. It costs around $35.

This is the one I have and I love it. It's a Taylor that's been branded for The Biggest Loser (but I don't care about that part) http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=16691062

It can hold weight/personal data for multiple people in the household, weighs in .2 of a pound units, shows you your BMI and even what your maintenance calories would be at the weight you currently are. And the buttons are super easy to press with your toes so you never have to bend down. Plus I can step on and off of it multiple times I always get the same weight reading (no matter how much I may want it to go down. lol)

It's $40 and since it's Bed, Bath, and Beyond you can use one of their 20% off coupons for it to make it even cheaper.

I just bought a Taylor glass scale (0-400lbs) to replace an older Taylor scale. It's seems to be pretty accurate when compared to my old scale. I picked it up at walmart.com with free shipping for something like $30.

I love my weight watchers scale. They have multiple models all with various features and I think most of them are under 50$

I've had it for a year and it is still running on the same battery with accurate results (I compare it to my gym scale and another digital one I have access to and they all say the same reading)

Honestly, I haven't had any issues with my scale and it was super cheap. It is a health-o-meter $17 scale from walmart.
Granted, I've only had it a couple months now (bought it at the beginning of my weight loss journey) but I can step on it 10 times in a row and it will read the exact same.

Supposedly you can also program it to "track" the weights of up to two people, but I haven't tinkered with that function yet.
