The scale glitches with different readings when it is weighing items and it is on a solid desk, I never dropped it. is it broken?

depending on what you are weighing(I weigh smokeless powder), if you exhale with it on the desk in front of you or have an a/c vent directed at the table or have a ceiling fan on, they can all affect it settling down.

Not sure if it is broken. Mine had some bad readings until I figured out the the slightest breeze affected it.

Could be damaged. The scale should be perfectly straight with any curvature. I bought a pair of these about a month ago and they are in great shape. So my suggestion would to return them for an exchange or refund.

I have not had this problem with this scale, check batteries and I would ask if you are sure you are on the lb and ounce measurement setting not grams, etc. Also if it had any water poured on it accidentally I had to replace previous scale after I spilled liquid on it.

Yes, the weight changes when I move it. I also have uneven linoleum on certain parts of my floor though. My replacement scale has been fairly accurate on level ground. Weight only fluctuates up or down by no more than a quarter pound. So... My replacement scale is semi-accurate on a hard even surface. I can live with very small weight variations.

There is something wrong with your scale I have two both 1st on scale are correct I would send it back for an a new one once you get it back you will love it.

mine simply vibrates its way across my desk until it finds something to stop against. I think mine is due to the base being severely warped when I got this. I wasn't surprised though with how flimsy this is.

Hi Susan!We returned the scale b/c it did not weigh in accurately when compared to other scales we used.Good luck with it!

Um... I'm not sure really. It could be the battery or maybe the surface the scale is on. I have mine on a wood floor and it reads out consistent and accurate weight reedings.

Have you tried calibrating? I bought two and they were just a smidge off, so calibrated and they are perfect. You might try changing surfaces it sits on. I was at a gem show last week and many vendors used this specific scale.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

I have experienced the same problem and finally had to have the scale replaced. I have had a replacement scale two weeks not experienced a problem So far.Respectfully,DR. Stephen

I have had this scale for two months and love it. Today it gives me an error message of 0-Ld and the weight swings wildly. Put in a new battery but it doesn't help!!! Can it be fixed?

I would make sure the lb/kg selector switch is firmly in one position or the other. The make sure the battery is installed in the proper position. Then examine the feet for damage (are they cracked). If that doesn't do it then I'd contact the company directly. They might be slow to respond but they did satisfy my complaint when my scale broke.

It seems to vary on mine. Sometimes it will weigh something as light as 4oz. and then other times it takes 7oz. for it to start weighting. This is on battery power only though as I haven't used the supplied power supply yet. That may make a different, I just don't know. Otherwise, it's a very good scale.

I weigh dry stuff on it and spill every day. Typically, I hold it over the sink. . . but not everything falls off by itself. I have to wipe it with a paper towel. I am concerned that if I ever got super-messy, I might get something stuck between the tray and the base. So far, no problems. I would not submerge the scale in water.I have had this scale for maybe a month or so now, and I love it for kitchen use.But, I saw this scale on Groupon a while back, and it looks like it might be a better scale at a better deal: http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-kitchen-essentials-digital-scale I weigh dry stuff on it and spill every day.

Are you sure you have working batteries in it? I'd check that first.You also have to stand on it a few seconds before the numbers appear.It initially should be set by standing on it until it starts toregister the weight and, then, get off it and wait for it to displayO. You can then weigh yourself. If you move the scale at all, resetit. Also, it really needs to be on a flat hard surface. (Don't recallwhether the scale came with a tab that needed to be removed for thebatteries to work or not but, again, I'd check the batteries first.)Finally, the display is not baclit, so needs to be viewed in areasonably lighted area. Hope this helps. Are you sure you have working batteries in it?

It sounds like the scale needs to calibrate itself. when you first got it, did you step onto the scale to activate it and then off to get it to weigh 0 pounds? If not, you could try that.
