How accurate is this scale?

I think it is very accurate comparing it to a couple of doctors' offices scales. Very happy with it.

Find my review. It is great. Weigh yourself, drink 16 oz water and you weigh 1 lb more.

It is extremely accurate. It weighs me the same as the one at my doctors office. I learned of this brand as my doctor office uses only tanita scales.

This scale is the best when it comes to accuracy! My husband weighed a little over 380 lbs when we bought this scale. He could get on and off the scale several times in a row and still weigh the same each time. It never varies. The platform is wide and very stable. Plus it remembers your weight from one time to the next. Highly recommend!

Hi Jack, The wife and I have found this scale to be extremely accurate... usually within a 10th of a pound... and it's been very consistent. We've had it about a year. If you're doing a weight loss program, especially if there is more than one weighing in, the tracking feature is really nice. You can see were you were during the last weigh-in and then compare to the present... very handy. After several lousy scales this is the only one that I would recommend

We have weighed at home and then went directly to our gym and weighed on their balance scale. The weights "seem" to agree. We have done this several times with the same results.

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.

The one that I received was very inaccurate and never consistent. I would not recommend this scale.

There is no calibration to this scale. It does have a ZERO or TARE setting so you can adjust for containers. Hope this helps

The instructions say it needs to recalibrate. That may be a hassle. But it is a good scale.

It's accurate, but it must be calibrated before EVERY USE, EVERY TIME the loading tray is moved, and EVERY TIME the scale itself is moved or the milligram readings will be off by a couple of mg, which can be detrimental if used to weigh medication or any consumable substance.

I'd agree with the other reviewers. It seems accurate within the .10 range although it will read out in the hundredths place after that. I've only had it differ by .1 from the USPS by that was for a 1-2 lbs item. My husband needs a scale that can measure the quantity of light items (like rubber bands) via weight and he needs a more accurate scale.

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

As with most mechanical scales, it would be more accurate consistently if it were on a level surface. However, if you are OK with the inaccuracy of a scale on an uneven surface, than it should be fine.

Ours seems to be accurate in the large and the smaller letter size weights too. Have had very good luck with it. Gary and Karyn

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.

The scale is very accurate to even less than an ounce. The weight is displayed in decimals of an ounce. For example, for lighter items the display will show 0 lbs. 0.8 oz. It operates on batteries that make it very convenient to move.I had it for several months and it's a great and accurate scale. I'm very pleased with it. Rich G. Palm Harbor, FL

I thought I like the scale but it is seeming to be inaccurate. I step on in the morning same time get one number. I try a few minutes later different number..third try is really ridiculous

I would say it is fairly accurate. I compared it to my more expensive Radio Shack and the numbers are very comparable.

I am so happy that I bought this scale. It was recommended by David Lebovitz blog who is a pastry maker in Paris, France. It is also recommeded by Americas Test Kitchen as well.These are two trustworthy sources that I alway check out before purchasing products. You can see them all around their TV kitchen set. You can't go wrong with OXO products. anyway. Yes, the scale measurements are very accurate. Like I said, I love this product., very user friendly. I have previously bought cheap scales and had many problems with them, .....not with this product. I say,"GO FOR IT".

Yes I believe so. But honesty the scale isn't as easy as it claims to be! I had to keep reseting the scale everytime I used it. Plus the App doesn't sinc up well until the 2nd or 3rd time. Either way.. Good luck!

It can measure accurately. However, the displayed number can disappear in the middle of weighing. The display often goes "blank", so you have to re do the weighing. If you weigh more than one item and try to add another, you will lose count if the display goes blank. If you only weigh one item, you can just reweigh that particular item. I hope this helps.

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.
