I put my scale away after each use, how accurate is this scale if you move it everyday?

I always have it in the same place, which is in the bathroom though some distance from the shower/tub. It's been extremely accurate for many years now, and it's also on only its second set of batteries. The only downside I can possibly see is that the white top can get slightly dark/dirty with extended use and is not particularly easy to clean. As an accurate, useful, long-lasting scale, I don't see how this could be beat.

Hi Angela, The Tanita has been one of the most accurate scales I've ever owned. However, just like other scales I've had it doesn't like to be moved. The accuracy, although only off by a half pound or less, takes a day or two before it gets steady again. Haven't figured out why... just does so, I try not to move it.

I see no reason the accuracy of the scale should be affected unless you drop it and then it would more than likely be OK. It is sretty sturdy. Dean

From my experience, it doesn't matter how many times you move the scale. You will always get the same result. It's been an excellent scale!

Very. I move mine every day and find it stays very close to a doctor's scale I compare to.

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.

I have used my scale daily for approximately two months and the original batteries are still being used. They are going strong, so I can't really answer this question. I have found with two previous scales that the original batteries last much longer than the ones I use to replace.

Hi Natalie, I have purchased 11 of these scales between Amazon and Costco for commercial use, I have had one that has done the same thing. It is a defective scale, return it.

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

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.

I'm not sure but we have it placed on a level surface in the bedroom. When we first received it we tried it in another room and when we moved it to the bedroom, the weight didn't change. I would just be careful of moving it around too many times. The reason I don't trust doctors' scales is they are constantly moving them and not re-calibrating them after the move. Hope this helps.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

The scale does not do well with small changes in weight. If you were to trickle you would need to tap the scale to give it a couple of grains of change before it will register a new value. I am not sure if its a sensitivity issue or I was just impatient with waiting for the screen to update. If you trickle you would need to lift the measuring pan up and set it back down again after you toss a little powder.

My scale has worked flawlessly. Make sure there is no stress (e.g., pulling to one side) on the power plug that goes into the scale. Also make sure that the plug is fully seated.

I found that the scale was not entirely accurate. I do think that it has to do with the fact that my foot is bigger than the platform of the scale. However, you can work with it, and if you are using it for travel, it will at least give you an idea of where you stand. If you want an accurate scale, get something that is bigger.

Does this need to be re-calibrated when you move it before you weigh yourself?

I purchased this scale over 1 year ago and it is still very accurate. Most scales are not very accurate over 200 pounds. I weigh about 350 pounds and it still works great for me.

This scale like any other that uses a load-cell array needs to be used on a hard, flat surface in order to achieve an accurate reading. I wish I had a permanent home for mine but there is no room for it. I store mine leaning against the side of the vanity cabinet, then bring it into the bathroom (5' away) and use it there.

I have had mine for five years now, and am still on the original set of batteries. The scale gets used at least once a day.

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.
