This scale reads EXACTLY the same weight--to 0.1 of a pound--for days in a row. Then it changes, and is EXACTLY the same for 3-4 days. Anyone else?

Yes I experienced same thing solution was to power off scale for 15 to 30 sec and power up then it resets itself so far it's working fine

We have had good luck using the hold feature. We have checked it several times in a row and it always reads the same weight. Also very comparable weighs to the hospital scales

I have had no problem with it. I would try recalibrating one more time and if that does not work, call the manufacturer. I saw where many people who did previous reviews called the manufacturer, and received excellent results. As an aside, I use this scale and it as accurate as the physicians.

I've only had the scale a few weeks. Time will vary greatly depending on how many times a day the scale is used. I'm expecting 6 mos at least with about 5/day.

I recently purchased this scale with the intention of weighing small packages to mail. I did test its weighing accuracy with another digital scale, & it was almost the same reading - within 1/10th on an ounce. You can choose the unit of weight. I only used it in lb:oz setting. It does have a fluid oz unit setting. You can weigh your container, then clear the on/tare weight to reset to '0', then add your foods into/onto your container. The display will show the item weight since your last clear. When you are finished, clear the weight, & remove your container from the scale. The total weight including your original container will display briefly. I wrote down the weight of the container, then subtract it from the total. Because I am using the scale to weigh packages, it is hard to see the screen underneath the larger package. Thats why I reset the weight to '0' then remove my package. If you are weighing smaller amounts where the screen is not obstructed, then the weight reading is the weight of the item(s) since the last clear. The scale is durable however, it is not sealed against spills getting underneath the sides. Another thing I have noticed. The scale will turn itself off after no activity in a few seconds. I cannot comment on its life expectancy. So far so good. Judy

The scale usually responds immediately, but sometimes it takes about 20 seconds. If your working with tiny weights, it helps if you put your finger on the scale and take it of; it seems to reset the scale. Remember this is not a $300 scale. I'm willing to put up with stuff for the price. I've checked it with some balance weights and it checks fine.

It does take a little time, but it seems to be dependent on stable weight distribution on the scale. It needs your weight to be still, not varying in where balances. Hope this makes sense.

Yes, it changed depending on where it was setting, it changed even when I never moved it. The company said it was because I had it setting on a linoleum floor, which was the hardest floor in my house. I'm not sure I buy that explanation. I sent it back to Amazon. Do not buy this scale!

I have no way to verify accuracy since I don't have nist traceable standard weights. Precision seems OK. I have noticed that the scale sometimes doesn't want to zero. I'll turn it on and it moves away from zero (I have seen it go higher and lower). When it does this the zero may wander as much as 10 lbs. Eventually the scale stabilizes. I have not contacted the mfg. I find this annoying but am willing to live with it since it rarely happens.

Yes, it flashes three times and then give you the exact weight. The flashes are its final calculations. All normal. I love this scale.

No it doesn't, but it has a tare weight feature where you can place an empty container on the scale and it resets to 0.0. Then as you add ingredients to the container, the scale only reads the weight of the ingredients.

I have this problem as well- I often have to weigh egg yolks, and separating an egg takes 15 seconds or so, and sometimes the scale will turn off in the middle of the process. If i turn it back on *immediately* it will remember the weight but if i don't catch it straightaway i'm out of luck and the scale is back to 0. This is extremely frustrating with items that are difficult to re-weigh, or if I'm combining items in a bowl.

We have never experienced this issue with our scale. Always get a set number within a second or two. Maybe you have a defective item.

I have had this for a month or so and have a feeling it falls back on prior measurements (readings from a few seconds ago) - for example if you step on it again right after your first measurement, it seems to gravitate towards, and lock in to, the same exact reading it gave you a few seconds earlier.

tenths as well. I am very pleased with this scale. When I first got it, it would only measure weight but I pushed the reset and it started showing everything. Very easy :)

Seems to be very accurate and consistent. It measures in the tenths of a pound, though, and will take a few seconds to "settle" on a number, very sensitive to any movement while standing on it. We use it at our TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) meetings, and so far have not had anyone "blame the scale".. :)

Yes. I have bought several times and it's the same. I always assumed the weight to be accurate.
