Is it accurate? If I weigh 50 lb, how much more or less will it show?

I find it to be very accurate. It also has a small knob underneath that you can adjust if it goes up or down a little. But it was the same as the scale at the doctor's office last week. So it's good enough for me!

I weigh 153 lbs and it was very accurate for me. However, I must say, I needed my husband to give me my weight because while standing on the scale it is hard to read the smaller lines that are used for increments of one.

It's accurate enough for such a low priced scale. You can adjust it to make sure the needle is pointed to 0 lb, then when you get on it it will show you weight 50 lb.

Based on a sample of one scale that I recently bought, it's within 2%, or so. I weighed 5 US gallons of tap water at 70°F. The water plus bottle should have weighed 43.5 lb and the scale registered 44, a little over 1% high. The reading repeated to within one pound by removing the weight and re-applying it to the scale.

It does show the previous result in green; but apparently it also rounds off readings to previously-measured values rather than admitting small variations. To test this I weighed myself, then weighed myself with a cup of water, then weighted myself with half a cup of water over and over. Rather than giving a result somewhere between the first two measurements it would always give one or other of the first measurements. Then I weighed my wife, and then I weighed myself with half a cup of water again, and I got a different result.

Mine is not calibrated and is way off. They expect me to find a 5 lb. weight somewhere in order to calibrate the item.

I am usually weighing 5 to 12 grams and I find it accurate. I have at times weighed 2 grams and found it accurate. Hope that helps

Mine was right on..My suitcase weighed 44lbs and scale registered 45..close enough.

I am an RN and I bought this for my aging parents. From what I can determine, I tested it before I gave it to them it was accurate. I bought one for myself, another brand and it read the same so that is what I can tell you.

It appears to be accurate and to hold the zero. As with any scale, be gentle placing the loaded tray back on the scale.

I don't think so when u step off the scale the last reading is given in a different color, so if my wife used the scale it looks like I gained 50 pounds

If the 10lb weight you're using to test the scale is a typical fitness weight (either olympic or standard, doesn't matter), it's highly unlikely to weigh exactly 10lbs. Typcally, the cheaper the weight, the more inaccurate it will be.

The scale does sit on Very short legs. So you want to be aware of that. The voice that announces your weight is clear and loud enough for most people. I have found it to be accurate as well.

Yes it does, and once calibrated it is quite accurate. I would advise getting a calibration weight if you don't have one.

On my opinion its very accurate. I have twin girls and i weigh them all the time

I think it is mentioned it is 55 pounds. I carried it. It seems that number can be accurate (or maybe a little less than that)

No. You can check the accuracy with a 50 kg weight, but you need 1000 kg to calibrate.

Follow the waist and weight chart. It's quite accurate. That worked for me perfect. Same for the top and benie.

I went out and took mine off and estimated the weight. 50 lbs is probably a cower estimate. Heavy but not overly so.

Not many tests exist that are 100% accurate under any circumstance and this is no exception. Though through personal experience they have been accurate both when I thought I would be clean and also when I knew I wasnt. And like many others here. Take 2 back to back and compare results. Dont worry about the shade of the line, that doesnt matter...what matters is if its there or not. And this tests states that it tests up to 50...not 75 like another reponder.
