How accurate is this scale...

Very accurate. My daughter in law weighed her suitcase using this scale and weight registered as 39 pounds. It weighed the same at the airport. So for $5.00 plus shipping charge, I'd say that's a good investment. So much easier than trying to balance a suitcase on my bathroom scale.

Almost similar to my other scale. I can say the accuracy almost hit 100%..i have not compare with airport yet.. So far it gave same measure against floor weight scale.It is a reliable device..

Some digital personal scales costing 6 times as much advertise an accuracy of +- 1%. So if you weighted 150# the scale could read +-1.5 # or 3 pounds. Just because it has a resolution of .1# doesn't mean it' that accurates.

It's accurate enough for such a low priced scale. You can adjust it to make sure the needle is pointed to 0 lb, then when you get on it it will show you weight 50 lb.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

This scale measures 4 pounds more than my old dial scale too. That does not concern me at all because it is very accurate otherwise.

It seems very accurate, weighs up to 350 lbs (not sure if that's enough) and the hand held readout makes it easier than a floor scale. As a patient it would not be off-putting for the nurse to ask me to step on one of these, so I would say yes. It also weighs in decimals of a pound, not just full pounds. I've had it nearly a couple years and it hasn't needed a new battery yet and I have had no problems of any kind as of yet.

I have not experienced any problem with consistent accuracy in weighing on this scale.

Yes! I love it! It can sometimes be off if you move it around so, just be consistent, you can't get a better scale for the price!

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

It's accurate to a tenth of a pound. It does weigh consistantly, so if you step off and weigh yourself again there isn't a difference, unlike cheaper scales.

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.

I find it to be very accurate. It also has a small knob underneath that you can adjust if it goes up or down a little. But it was the same as the scale at the doctor's office last week. So it's good enough for me!

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.

Hello.......It is a very nice scale, however, the minimum scale is .2 lb........Example: .2 - .4 - .6 - .8 - 1lb - 1.2 etc. etc. Hope that helps! Neil

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 weight items as small as 0.2 grams but I dont know how accurate it is. I have also tested it and found it to be accurate from 1 gram to 50. Good product.

Yes it is! However I have a digital scale that I use now and it's superior to this scale!
