Which scale to use?

Hi! So basically I've ended up with 2 different bathroom scales, one's a Taylor and one's a Beurer. I've been using the Taylor one for about a year and just recently got the Beurer one, but when I weigh myself on both to try to compare the two, the Beurer one ALWAYS reads 1 and a half pounds more than the Taylor. I'm wondering which one I should use? Thank you!

A pound and a half won't make any difference in the long run - just pick one and use only that one and you'll be fine1

Don't drive yourself crazy switching between them and comparing, just pick one and stick with it!1

I bought a Taylor and was disappointed with it. I could get on and it would tell me 145 get off and tell me 153. Maybe just mine was defective but I won't buy another. I bought WW and have been very happy with it so far. It's very consistent.0

I've got two Taylor's. They both weigh me the same. Maybe you're not zeroing them. If you jostle them too much, they get anxious and spit out garbage....1

In my experience the Taylor ones have always been off so I don't really trust them...0

Based off of the mixed reviews for the Taylor, I'll use the other one because it was almost twice as much as the Taylor so I assume it'll work better. Thank you!0

My home scale always puts me around 3lb heavier than the doctors office regardless of time of day and testing it between a few doctors offices. I still use it to track trends but I subtract the 3lb. I, of course, double check every time I'm in a doctors office to be sure this is still the case.0
