Does the weight change depending on where you place the scale on the floor?? The Ozeri scale I have now does this making it useless

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.

I've received the same readings wherever I place this scale. As with any scale, it should be on a hard surface rather than carpet or rug since an uneven or cushioned surface can affect the reading. This particular scale gives a higher weight for the first reading after it is moved; this is part of the recalibration process. After that, it should give consistent readings. It will recalibrate when it is moved again so allow for that (weigh yourself more than once and ignore the first reading) the first time you use it in the new location.

It's about a 3 pound variation no matter where I put it. Pretty frustrating if you want accuracy.

Yes, the weight changes when I move it. I also have uneven linoleum on certain parts of my floor though. My replacement scale has been fairly accurate on level ground. Weight only fluctuates up or down by no more than a quarter pound. So... My replacement scale is semi-accurate on a hard even surface. I can live with very small weight variations.

I never move it but this morning I did to answer your question. Yes it stayed the same weight after moving it two feet.

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 have not noticed variation due t and it does not seem to be affected by the grout lines.o location. We have a grouted tile floor

It does, in that if you place a container on it and press to zero the scale, then put in the container what you are weighing,and press the activating button again you will get the weight of what you added.

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

I know that with mine, even though it was on hardwood and tile there was still a littl give that would change the weight by 1/2 lb or so. I found the most accurate reading was in my garage on cement. If you want a truly accurate reading there can be no give at all.

Balance scales work on hard wood floors if you have them on carpets the weight of the scale will be off. I also find that if i place this on carpet even thin ones the weight is of

Hello i bought a scale also recently are you putting the scale on the carpet or a hard sturdy floor Make sure its not on carpet and also put your feet in the center of the scale makes a difference

No, it won't. As soon as you remove the weight, the numbers are gone. The scale is still "on", but without any number.

No, I had no problem. You do need to change to LBS as the preset is in something else but the scale worked right away.

No it doesn't, but it has a tare weight feature where you can place an empty container on the scale and it resets to 0.0. Then as you add ingredients to the container, the scale only reads the weight of the ingredients.

You have to put the scale on a flat surface. If you put it on carpet it will give a ERR message.

Yes, it states in materials you receive with scale that when you move it around it may have to recalibrate. However this is automatic and you do not need to do anything special.

There are lots of things that can effect a scales accuracy. Ie: carpet, uneven tile, leaning one way or another. To use mine I have to move it out from the wall place it on even tile,(challenging because my bathroom has small tiles) stand up straight, and not tough anything (like the wall for balance).

I don't think so, but you can trick it by "tapping" it lightly with your finger if you are taking too long. Every time the weight changes a little the shut-off timer resets. Doing this only changes the weight momentarily, as the number should go back to what is was before the tap (if it is working properly).

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?

The one I got didn't work. When I was chopping up veg's, and adding them bit by bit to the bowl sitting on the scale, it turned off in the middle of it, even though there was only a few seconds delay between adding things to the bowl. Then I tried pressing buttons and I wasn't able to get the weight back. It came back as 0. So I returned that scale and bought another of the same model, and it did the same thing.
