Am disappointed in the accuracy of one I just got, since I get different readings each time, with and w/out resetting the 0 calibration. Anyone else?

mine works pretty good, sometimes I get measurements 1 mil off but I'm pretty sure it might be an error on my side, check if amazon can replace it.

I have never calibrated mine and not sure how you would do it short of sending it back to factory. I have compared mine with several other test sets and also the system at my pool store and found it to be very accurate.

I have many times, with no issues, but you might want to check with the manufacturer for 100% accuracy!

I have had no problems with mine. Accurate as far as I have been able to determine.

When it worked yes I checked it against a conventional gauge and another digital gauge. The problem was it stopped working after each and I had to replace the batteries then it would work once the replace the batteries. I returned it after one use. Not reliable at all.

To calibrate, use distilled water. You set the device to zero and thats all. You should do this once every three / four months.

Mine seems to give accurate readings...instruction sheet in box is fairly clear and easy to follow, even for an old timer like me.

Lol.I haven't tried yet. As I stated,mine is off by 10lbs. I guess check on line and see if they have instructions on how to calibrate. Good luck

I've found that it can be very temperamental and if the sensor and pick-up are not close enough together or lined up properly then it will not give you a reading. But with occasional small adjustments mine works every time.

Mine appears to do the same thing (in hundredths & thousandths digits) especially when I shake the unit or leads. Goes to steady zero when I touch leads. I don't think this is defect.

I noticed the same thing, it reads higher than the bayer one I have also by 20 points. This meter is a piece of junk in my opinion, wastes lots of strips.

Mine is new and giving repetitive, precise (accurate -- hoping?) readings so my experience would not help.

John, I have the type 2 digital compass. I set it on auto calibrate mode and it took several days before it calibrated. But it hasn't been a problem since. Not perfectly accurate but acceptable.

Hi, I have one similar but I never had any problem with thve accuracy. Maybe you can request any advice send an e-mail to cuisinart customer service.I wait you can find the solution quickly

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

It sounds like you have a bad copy, i never had to calibrate mine and it is very sharp from pretty much wide open.
