One reviewer here complained about inaccuracy of this scale based on weight placement and body position. Anyone else have this problem?

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

Not at all. As long as the entire bottoms of both feet are on the platform, I've never seen any inaccuracies. Doesn't matter where on the platform they are. Hope this helps.

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.

Have you tried calibrating? I bought two and they were just a smidge off, so calibrated and they are perfect. You might try changing surfaces it sits on. I was at a gem show last week and many vendors used this specific scale.

Mine is not calibrated and is way off. They expect me to find a 5 lb. weight somewhere in order to calibrate the item.

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.

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

When I purchased this scale it was already pre-calibrated. I just used it right away and have never had a problem with it being inaccurate!

Hi Julie I think if when you weigh yourself it doesn't look right. I would return the scale. Which is what I did I have a scale called thinner which I bought 10 years ago from Bed Bath Beyond. It gives accurate weight as well as fat content

Agree with the comment about doing things just right. Mine is very accurate. I will say I messed around with it a bit in the beginning to see what would make it go astray. Generally speaking though it is very accurate. I have had no problems.

I used a tape measure... Weight isn't always accurate; I've found. Build/measurement is more important.

I have experienced the same problem and finally had to have the scale replaced. I have had a replacement scale two weeks not experienced a problem So far.Respectfully,DR. Stephen

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

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.

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.

I've never tried it, but have you checked with the USPS to see if they have any calibration weights on site? I'm sure their scales, like all scales, have to be calibrated regularly. You could take it to them and see what they say. I live in a rural area and the local branch is never very busy, so I'm sure they would help me. A busier location may not be as helpful.

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.

Hello Pavan. I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your product. Perhaps there is a reason for the fluctuation. Have you placed the scale on a steady surface, free of movement and/or vibration? For further assistance, you can contact me directly via email [esty@measupro.com] or telephone [855-797-2253]. Kind regards, Esty Smart Weigh Scales
