Ours works quite well when compared to weight at doctors office. No problems here.

its pretty accurate for me, and I only base that on going to dr's office me and my kids getting weighed and my scale saying the same thing. I've tested it lol

You probably have it set for zero after changing your battery. You need to fool around with it a bit and will probably discover it was off. Of course unless it's actually defective but both mine have worked without a problem but I too had to replace a battery and it turns off. Hope this helps.

Might just be part of the anti-shake mechanism you're feeling move. The sensor isn't fixed but is supposed to move. Don't know about the batteries but that doesn't sound right. Where'd you buy it?

i've had mine for at least 4 months and have never had to replace the batteries to date. it's a great scale and it's very accurate, works seamless with the fit bit.

Try resetting the scale by taking out the batteries again and waiting a few minutes and putting them back in.

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.

I've got the same problem. It gets as far as flashing lb/kg and that's it. Nothing responds after that and I don't get any numbers to move up or down with. The printed directions are not helpful at all because it doesn't respond after the flashing lb/kg. Am probably going to ship it back. Has anyone had one arrive with an almost dead battery? Maybe that's the issue.

Ours has been in service for the last year and we decided to change the batteries this March when we turned the clocks ahead for daylight savings time, although there was nothing wrong with the batteries in the device. We do use a better brand of battery in the time though.

One of those little flat batteries like a watch battery only bigger. I thought mine was dead once but I took it out, wet it, and put it back in and it was fine. Since then, I've noticed that if the scale is not used for a while, it kind of "shuts down," and you have to step on it a couple of times to "wake it up." That's a good thing, because the battery is not being used up. Btw, it totally agrees with the scale at my gym, so I'm very happy with it. And takes up very little room in my tiny bathroom.

I have had no problem with battery power and have not needed to use it plugged in. Sounds like you have a bad battery or a returnable scale.

Try different batteries.Call manufacturer .Never had this problem since owning scale for at least 3 years.Scale works instantly.

It should turn off. Mine displays my weight after I step on the scale and turns off a few seconds after I step off the scale.

Check that the batteries are in correctly - my scale seemed a little different than most battery operated gadgets - the second battery doesn't install opposite direction from the first. If they're ok, try putting in fresh batteries.

Mine stays on Lbs. and will not switch to KG. Ok by me. I can't get it to display KG. Tried changing batteries and everything I could think of. Sorry

I don't know. We've had the scales several weeks and are still on the original batteries we installed when we got it. My wife and I each use the scales 3 or 4 times a week.

It should turn off. Mine displays the weight for a few seconds and then turns off. You may have a defective product. Sorry! I would get in touch with the seller, depending on when you purchased the Item.

Best advice I can give, get an Ironmaster or Powerblock. Major problem with weights getting stuck - dials.
