The display part of the scale is not mounted to the scale itself. It's tethered so to speak.It can be unplugged from the scale if needed.

I've also never had the top come off of the scale. I use it daily so if it were an issue I would have seen it by now.

I have two of these scales and love them both. Have not had a problem. You have a defective product and should request a new one.

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.

I've been using this scale for about two weeks and it's very stable. The reason for this is that the scale is wider than most other scales and the scales' support structures are located on the outer sides of the scale, allowing for better distribution of the weight to be measured on the scale's surface. With this scale, it is good to note that you will need to step on one of the corners and then step off in order to turn it on and allow the scale to "zero out" before weighing yourself on it. The instructions for this scale did not state that fact and I almost returned the scale because it displayed an error message when I first bought it.

Mine did. http://myweigh.com/view-all/ agrees that it still does. Great scale - someone liked it so much that it disappeared when I was moving.

Yes you can place a large box on it and see the display. Whats great about this scale is that after you place your item on it, wait a couple of seconds, then all you have to do is press the hold button. You can then remove the box and the correct weight will display for about 5 to 8 seconds after.

The top tray does not come off the scale. There is a function to place a plate/bowl on the scale and accurately measure your foods so foods would never have to come in contact with the scale.

Yes, it is removable, a 1/8 turn counter clockwise releases the glass top from the base. And, btw, thanks for asking the question. Until you asked, I was not aware that the top was removable. Love the scale, worth the investment. It really helps my wife with her type 2 diabetes.

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

No Problems, If you adjust the small screw on the left of scale, you will get a proper weight. took me about 20 minutes to get it set right.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

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.

Yes it does, bottom right button. As a matter of fact it will auto tare the weight to whatever is sitting on the scale when you turn it on. Excellent scale been using mine for about a year now with zero issues.

I never got the scale out. I know my dog thinks they're weightless because she is in heaven when she's chomping down on one. AND, if you have "Prime", you don't worry about the shipping weight.

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.

No. Your toes and/or your heels will hang off but the scale is still accurate. It is an awesome scale.

I keep pressing the button underneath, and I have no idea why one method of measuring weight comes up and not another. However, I can use any of them easily, so it's not a problem to me. I suggest you contact the company and perhaps the mystery of why you can only get that onewill be solved. Aside from the fact that I don't control the weight indicator, I love this scale. I can easily pack it in and I weigh my food on the plate I'm going to use eating. It's really ingenious. I enjoy it.
