I've owned this scale for a year now and just ordered one for my daughter. Mine is incredibly accurate and in an effort to test it, I have stepped on and off of it several time in succesion and it always reads the same for me. I have weighed bags of sugar and flour and similar items and not had a problem. I would recommend, although obviously others do not feel the same way.

I've had this scale for years, and it's still working. I've never had to replace the batteries. The readout is large and easy to read. The problem is that the readings are inconsistent from minute to minute by as much as five pounds. I put a footprint for the scale on a level spot on the bathroom floor with electrical tape, and that's helped. It also seems to be sensitive to where you step on it, i.e., in the center or towards the edges. This scale drives me nuts!!! I've kept it because it looks nice, keeps working, I don't weigh myself that often and I'm cheap. But now that I'm seriously trying to loose some body fat, this scale is destined for in the trash.

Since the weight capacity for this scale is 380 pounds, I expected it to be more accurate than most of the dial scales that I've used in the past with a 300 pound capacity... especially since I'm hovering around that 300 pound mark. I've been very pleased with its consistency as I am on Weight Watchers and seeing a pound or two drop off each week.
The large digital readout is definitely a great feature. No more squinting to see where that red dial falls on those itty bitty black lines. I used to "guesstimate" my weight - now I know what it is!
Does it actually weigh me at my correct weight? Well, I've always felt that your weight is somewhat relative to the scale you use. I don't care if this scale weighs me 30 pounds more than at the doctor's office (which it doesn't) because THIS is the scale I weigh on regularly. If I lose 10 pounds on this scale, I would imagine I would've lost the same 10 pounds on the doctor's scale. The actual number doesn't interest me - it's the difference between the numbers that does. So... to answer the question, I don't know if it weighs me the same as the doctor's scale. I don't care if it does or not.

I was very excited when we bought this scale. I thought it was very accurate in the beginning. However, my husband kept telling me that his weight would change by 5-10 lbs within a minute, 5 minutes, etc..Finally it happened to me and I realized he was right. I got out our old scale that is not digital and weighed myself. I was 5 lbs lighter on that one. To make sure that one was accurate I put my dumb bells on it and it read it exactly, then I added other items just to make sure. SUre enough, our old $10 scale was right. I think most of the digital scales are not going to be very good. I am going to stick with our non-digital scale from here on out. Don't be fooled by the technology and the sleek look.

Sometimes this scale will report the same weight from minute to minute. Other times, your weight will vary as much as one to two pounds. Three of us have tried this with the same result and we are not very impressed.
