How accurate is this scale? I travel.Once weight is established is it accurate? Counting ozs.

I find the scale to be accurate. Hard to say if it is accurate to the oz level. It usually matches my good scale at home. I travel with the portable scale to help maintain my weight on long business trips

I have never calibrated my scale against another, but when I weigh myself on other scales, the Taylor seems to be right.

Seems to be consistent. As far as accuracy goes I can't say. Certain scales weigh me heavier, others lighter.

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.

It does not require calibration, but it sometimes under-weighs by .1 ounce. I bought a set of 1 oz and 2 oz weights and test it occasionally, especially when I get a reading that is exactly 1, 2, or 3 ounces.

I have no idea, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer or googling the words, "is a digital scale affected altitude" I can tell you its very accurate. Thats why I went on a diet and just lost 10 pounds! My old scale weighed me almost 5 pounds lighter than I was.. so if it is affected, it would still be accurate and it would be relevant to each time you weigh. Good luck!!

My scale is most accurate. One weight 0.6 ounces. (A little over 1/2 ounce). They're great. I used themfor mailing sports cards & DVD's with no problems. Hope this helps!

Dino: I just weighed the UL20a on my digital scale. It came out as 3.4 pounds. Given that there is a possibility that the scale is not 100 percent precise, I'd say the manufacturer's quoted weight listing (3.3 pounds) is accurate. Diplomacy and collegiality among Amazon customers dictates that I not comment on your age or physical capabilities.:-)Mitch

depents on rather oz' s are neccesary. weigh the same piece 4 times pounds are almost acurate 2 out of three times it may say 1lb then 15 oz then 1lb 1oz then 15oz then 1 lb just pick the 2 that match and I can only guess as this was the only scale i had to use. I threw it in my steel scrap bin. I have nothing good to say about it. Sorry

I tried weighing my bag with about 20 lbs of stuff last night, and it wouldn't register on the scale. So, I have a feeling there's a minimum that it will read. I'm not sure it'll be the best choice for weighing your luggage.

So this scale measures in lbs. to two decimal places; it measures in kilograms to three decimal places; it measures in kilograms/grams (e.g. 4kg-421gms);it measures in lb/oz (the oz portion is one decimal place, (nearest tenth of an ounce)). Hope this helps!

I just checked mine and on the ounce display the item I was weighing showed 0 pounds 2 1/4 ounces. It is a great scale and I too use it everyday. Hope this helps.

The scale is accurate within 1 tenth of an ounce. So as a postal scale it is a good product. As far as it measuring amounts that small I am not sure. Hope this helps!Stay well Alice D

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!

I believe it takes a measurement everytime it is used, you can see the number fluctuate if you are moving or holding on to something. It seems very consistent I have weighed free weights just to test it out and it has been correct everytime.

I've been happy with the scale. It seems to measure pretty accurately. Never had any problems yet. Yes, it measures in g/kg and shows measurements in (.01) units.

I found that the scale was not entirely accurate. I do think that it has to do with the fact that my foot is bigger than the platform of the scale. However, you can work with it, and if you are using it for travel, it will at least give you an idea of where you stand. If you want an accurate scale, get something that is bigger.

It's pretty accurate. You just have to be sure that it is on level ground. If it isn't, your weight will be different every single time.

I'm sorry but I haven't used it to weigh luggage. Perhaps when my weight comes down and I'm again traveling again for pleasure, I will weigh the luggage (LOL).......
