Will the scale work if you're wobbly? I've tried 4 different brands and they all have error messages beause of unsteadiness.

I don't believe there is a scales on the market that will! I have a brace on my right leg and below the kneeamputation on my left leg so I hold unto a grab bar. Do you have a walker you could hold unto? For the Nuance, Fred/Margie "Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear".--Mark Twain

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.

This scale does need you to be still for a moment, but it responds quickly. If you are moving, you do shift the weight that is shown on the display. It can give you a couple of different weights if you move too much.

Yes it does I actually try this out being steady & wobbly too & it actually reads the same I was impress :) I'm so happy that I purchased this scale. Well hope this answers to your question.

Unstable. I get that message when I am moving the scale or shaking the table. Things like that.

Hi Susan!My suggestion to you is to go to your local Target and see what they have. I got the one I use from there and it has worked well.I also have a basic, non digital scale in my bathroom which works well too.The good thing about your local stores is that you can return them if you don't like them and try something new!As for brands they are pretty much all the same.Good luck!

Mine does the same...intermittently. I don't know why. I have ascertained that it is NOT BROKEN. Just stuck. I keep tapping my foot lightly in the center of the scale until it shows 3 zeros. 00.0 Then I am able to weigh myself and get a proper reading. I weigh myself twice to be certain. Good luck. It is moody but, A great scale in general.

Make sure u put the scale on a hard flat surface, not carpeted. If that doesnt help replace the battery, if that doesnt help return the scales (or exchange). I have the same one in my office and it works great!

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!

IF and when it works. I'm getting errors which I'm sick of seeing. Plus it's so inconsistent. Time For a real scale!

My scale has only written this when it is unstable, about 2 times. I make sure that the surface the scale is on is straight. no papers or anything keeping it unsettled. I start it up again sometimes or check the batteries. It is a great product and I wish you well.

I am unsure. I purchase a scale, had it sent to my mother in another state and none of my relatives could get it to work. We ended up returning the scale.

I had the legs flipped the wrong way. You have to make sure they're set so the "long" and the "short" sections (from the screw that secures them in the leg) are on opposite sides to increase stability. Not sure if that's what's causing your wobble. But it was my initial issue when setting it up.

On mine, I can put the weight on and then tap the on/off//tare function on the left. The scale beeps and resets to zero after a slight lag. During that lag, the scale looks like it isn't responding, then it resets.

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!

In my opinion I would return the scale to get your money back and spend it on another scale. This brand/model is not worth the time or money. It has to many glitches to even be useful and could detour your motivation if the reading is off to far (as was the case with mine - the 3rd one that is after returning the first 2!). Best of luck.

I have been on it and weigh more than 200 lbs. no issues. I will say that if it has been assembled and used for a while the screws will need tightening, which may be why another reviewer had issues with wobble.

I had the same issue. I purchased the weights to properly calibrate but still nothing. In my honest opinion, this scale is trash. Sorry

Well put it on a sturdy flat surface. wobbly surfaces can cause subtle movement in the material being weighed, especially the surface plate. Once it is still it should settle to zero if it doesn't, then hit the tare action and that will re zero the scale. The directions should tell you on how to operate the tare function.

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.
