Worked fine for about two weeks. Now I get, not kidding, three to four separate readings - as much as four pounds off.

I have the same issue.... I usually step off let it reset and then check my weight again...

Another person reported this about an ERR message "The scale kept showing ERR when it arrived and I had put the batteries in it. I changed it from lbs to kgs and back to lbs. That cleared the problem and works great now. Easy to see display and auto shutoff is great." Make sure it is on a flat and level surface -- no rugs, carpets, or maps. Note that the scale may not weigh very light things under 10 or 15 pounds.

This scale does not do oucnes until it's over a pound. I returned mine due to that fact because I needed the scale to be more for oucnes than just pounds.

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

I have found mine to be very accurate. Perhaps you did get a defective one and should ask for it to be replaced.

It's been quite a while since I purchased my last one, but at the time it was $39.95 for ONE kit at Walmart. If they have them for $19.95 now, I would assume that either the mfg dropped the price or Walmart is blowing them out to get rid of stock. This blood sugar monitor's readings were very inaccurate when I used it several years ago; I ran several tests using this unit and some others that I had, taking readings right before I had blood drawn for my regular tests. This unit was consistently off by 20 or more points every time, while my other brand testers were consistently within 5 to 8 points of the actual test results reported to my doctor.

Mine seems fairly accurate yet sometimes takes 4 or 5 tries before giving me a reading. Also, very occasionally I get a "high" reading (like 156) that I know is wrong. So I just wait a minute and re-check. This happens very on very seldom occasions.

I bought this scale January 2010 and it worked wonderfully until 2 weeks ago. Now I can't get it to register. I have replaced the battery and wiggled the pads on the bottom. Any suggestions?

honestly mine worked for a few weeks and now nothing. lesson learned you get what you pay for.

This unit is pretty innacurate. It will give different readings (upto 30mb) if you don't position it exactly the same way each time, and will also give inconsistent readings (upto 15mb) if you takes consecutive readings without adjusting it at all.

I think that's a typo. 2.1 lbs sounds right. I think the decimal is missing.

NO. I just tried mine (down my throat) and it gave me THREE different readings. All were close, but not near close enough for medical purposes.

Yes, but only about every 4-5 trys and is never the same reading.....don't like mine....would have returned it but I let it go past the 3o days to return. Don't even wear it to the gym anymore!

It's difficult to give an honest assessment since mine only lasted 2 weeks. Sorry.

It's not going to work long term. Myself and another person had problems getting data off it after a few weeks. Try one and you can either prive or disprove ... Hope it works for
