What about ACCURACY? Seems none of these 10# or so scales state their accuracy...

I have a 50 gm and 500 gm standard that used to check the little Pronto scale when I received it. It is DNA. Right on at both weights.

I use mine for FedEx and USPS shipping and checked against the scale provided by Stamps.com and the weights matched each time I checked items.

Just to be clear, tho the scale CAN be accurate to hundreths of a Pound . . . It will not read out in pound hundreths DIRECTLY if that is what you want. To get that accuracy, you have to read the weight in Ounce or Grams units.

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.

Mine is new and giving repetitive, precise (accurate -- hoping?) readings so my experience would not help.

I did not know for sure myself, so I contacted the manufacturer. They got back to me within a day by the way, very fast. I was told that these particular scales have no need to be recalibrated. They were very concerned why I was asking and asked if I was having problems with it. I told them no just wanted to know how to recalibrate it. If I was having problems with it they were quickly going to replace it. I was impressed, seem to be a good company that is wanting to make sure their customers are happy.

The scale is dead on! It is very sensitive. It's sensitivity can be a problem for some who think because the numbers move there is something wrong. The numbers move because outside forces are working on it. Vibrations, air currents and such.

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!

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.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm going to guess .2 pound increments because it's not mentioned in the description. If it were .1 pound increments, I would imagine that would be a selling feature they would want to highlight since few scales measure that precisely.

I was just looking at the accuracy rating of a whole list of these things and all except one said: 70% to 100% accurate. I don't know what that means, but I do know that my relative tends to have cold fingers and the hospital did every single finger, and some toes and the ear of my relative every time, before they settled on a reading, so I am suspecting none of them are considered accurate enough to just accept the reading from one finger.

Hi Susan!We returned the scale b/c it did not weigh in accurately when compared to other scales we used.Good luck with it!

Hmmm . . . . this question wouldn't just happen to be from somebody in DENVER, would it? Seriously, I haven't weighed anything that light, so I can't comment on the scale's accuracy for that purpose.

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

It purports to read out in hundredths of a pound, but I can tell you that when you put less than a pound on the scale it doesn't register at all. I was trying to measure something I knew to weigh several ounces, and it still read "0.00". That leads me to conclude that any numbers to the right of the decimal on this scale really aren't reliable, because it simply is not that precise.

I have had no problem with it. I would try recalibrating one more time and if that does not work, call the manufacturer. I saw where many people who did previous reviews called the manufacturer, and received excellent results. As an aside, I use this scale and it as accurate as the physicians.

Hi,I did check mine,don't see any machine marks, checked out flat and smooth within accuracy of 0.001,now 0.005 is just way to much.I will return that for another one,thanks for info!!!!!

I have had no problems with mine. Accurate as far as I have been able to determine.
