My bathroom is so small the scale cannot stay in one place. It has to be placed on the floor each time. Will it remain still remain accurate?

It's my understanding that if you move the scale you need to recalibrate it. That, if I remember, involved stepping on it and then stepping off. It think as with any device or instrument of this kind the less it gets moved the better.

Yes. I would zero it out before I use it (step on it until it lights up, then step back off before it can register your weight). Then step back on, and it should be accurate!

Yes it will still remain accurate. I do the same every morning when I get up I take it in the bathroom with me. But you have to use the bathroom before you weigh yourself. But just to make sure its accurate because of me having to pick it up every morning I weigh myself twice. But just remember to handle it with care since you're picking it up every morning.

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

I recommend you move the scale out of the bathroom, to a location it doesn't have to be moved daily. It very clearly states you should avoid moving it, or you will need to calibrate it frequently. Also, it becomes less accurate with frequent movement. Can it go in your bedroom?

Yes, it changed depending on where it was setting, it changed even when I never moved it. The company said it was because I had it setting on a linoleum floor, which was the hardest floor in my house. I'm not sure I buy that explanation. I sent it back to Amazon. Do not buy this scale!

I'm sorry, I have not experienced this. I have tried the scale on carpet and tile and I get the same reading. Have you tried moving the scale to different spots on the linoleum or hardwood floor and see if you get different readings? Myself, I would use the lowest reading and feel better about myself.

I received my scale with no problems, I even dropped the display and it still works! (I finally decided to hang it on the wall so I would not keep dropping it) But I don't see where I had to wet my feet and it still works fine with dry feet... I have another Fat Analyzer scale and they are within .01% of each other, so I think they are pretty accurate. Maybe you got a lemon one... mine only takes a few seconds.

I had it sitting in front of my dryer and was able to move the scale with my foot in order to get items out of my dryer. I have linoleum. I do not know if this would change on tile.

do you have to manually set the scale as user 1, etc every time you step on it??

any scale can be at sometime. Have you been stepping on it so it registers some weight, then stepping off and waiting until it zeroes? That was my original mistake...not doing this. Was about to toss it, but now it works fine and is consistent

in general any scale needs to be on a flat firm surface. if your bathroom is carpeted I would think that to be quite unusual ---GOOD LUCK

I don't know that it would be accurate enough for a postal scale, depends on how small. I'd look for a food scale that goes up to the lbs you need but that will do ounces for small packages. Most bathroom scales are not accurate under like 20-30 lbs.

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.

Yes.. the weight will stay on for a few seconds... then the scale turns itself off to save the battery.

The only time I had this trouble was when I forgot & placed the scale on my rug. When I saw the inconsistent reading I remembered to place it on a hard surface. Then it worked fine. My Fiancé also use it & it is right on the money. If it keeps being like this, I would call the company & send it back. Sounds like you covered all the major areas so I feel that would be your next move.

I would say yes. Only one person uses it at home and it seems to be accurate.However we can not be 100% sure that if it is constantly used by many, that it would stay accurate.

I had that scale for a few weeks only. It never worked properly, I tried on different surfaces around the apartment. It would show different numbers every time I weighed myself and it went dead in about a month. It's not reliable, so you can't really trust what the scale shows.

Nope. I've not had any issues with this scales on moving it. I have two little ones so it gets moved around plenty. It also seems to work the same regardless of where I put it. Hope that helps!

I've moved it from room to room and to different hard floorings without issue. It has always easily reset for me and stayed very accurate. I can't see why you would have any issues.

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