A Good Scale?

I just bought a Taylor body analyzer scale, which was an upgrade from my old Weight Watchers scale(didn't have an analyzer). I love it and it is right on with my old scale which was right on with the gym scale. I think Taylor is made by Homedics.

I gave my daughters the old scale, since it still works perfectly

well, on carpet it's gonna throw it all off with any scale.

LOL soo very true

Haha I know carpet will throw it off but I have no way lost 8lb in 4 days (both weigh ins from bathroom floor). I would love to believe it but seriously!! The withings look fantastic! Unfortunately way over my price limit! Thanks for recommendation though x

I made the mistake of buying a WW set of scales a few years back and it weighed me around 50lbs less than I am! And then I could get back on and it was 30lb less etc - useless. Needless to say, it went back to the shop!

I now use Tanita Body Fat scales and find them to be accurate although not the cheapest out there.

Love my Withings scale, but they are quite expensive I suppose.

Would this be any good for you?

I'm in the UK and looking to get the Salter 9147 but I couldn't see that on the US Amazon, seems to be similar though.

The dreaded scale issue! I have bought various ones over the years. I hate a scale that you get on four times and nothing seems to match up by a couple pounds. The WW scales were terrible varying 2-3 lbs on three consecutive step-ons. I find that unacceptable to vary that much. I know position on the scale can do a lot too. I used to do what I called the Weight Watcher's Lean when I was a member - if you leaned into the pole on the scale it seemed to make you look like you dropped a couple extra lbs (only good for one visit as you have to do it every time or it looks like a gain the next visit).

What I bought and actually like is the WIthings scale. As the other poster mentioned it is nice not recording as it does that for you. I also got the blood pressure cuff and it logs that too so I can see the relationship between scale weight and BP.

I am also impressed as it has a wider base than the WW scale and positioning seems to affect it less. I also see that a couple consecutive steps reads about the same instead of the few lb fluctuations.

Any electric scale you must keep up on battery changes as the variance in voltage as the batteries wear down seem to also affect the accuracy

I have a ww scale. Yesterday my wt was 157.3. Last night I bumped into it by accident and then put it back where it was. This morning it said I weighed 153.2 lbs, went back a few minutes later and it said 155 lbs so I assume by tomorrow it will be back to 157. LOL. I do weigh on a thin carpet because there is no room in my bathroom for the scale but I believe that even if there is a discrepancy due to the carpet as long as you weigh in the same place every day it will be a consistent discrepancy. I am sure there is a flaw in that logic but.... I used to have a Taylor scale but had problems with that also so that is why I switched to the WW scale. Can't find another place to put the scale that does not have carpet except in the basement. Refuse to do that.
