Rated 2 out of 5 by InternetShopr Inconsistent Scale
I bought this because I was looking for an inexpensive bathroom scale. It is very inconsistent. You can step on it several times in a row and it will never read the same weight but the values will range by as much as 5 lbs.

Rated 2 out of 5 by RockyMountainMomma Not so much...
I was very excited to finally get this item through site to store, only for it not to work. I read the instructions and then tried it out. Out of 3 weighings, all three were different roughly 10 seconds apart from each other. I'm not talking about tenths of pounds, each was a couple pounds from each other. I even tried a 10 bag of flour and it read at 14 pounds one time and then 12.8 pounds the next.
Very disappointed...will not buy this brand again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by johndad5 It Works!!!! Darn!!!
The scale looks nice and works correctly and is accurate. My only complaint is that it is telling me I have some work to do. Sheesh

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gamma22 More than I expected
I really didn't pay a lot, so I was just hoping I hadn't wasted $15 (I got free shipping, which was a bonus). All I needed was something that would weigh me accurately, and that's what I got. It's too soon to determine how sturdy these scales are, but I like what I received. No bells and whistles, no BMI, just weight to the 1/10 of a pound. If that's all you need, this is exactly what you should buy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by az1016 Good product for the money
The scale works great when on a flat, level surface. Just step on it when the screen is blank, not at zero.

Works well if its on a flat, smooth surface.
Otherwise, the weight is not accurate.

Rated 1 out of 5 by NicknameLame Not Accurate!
I got this scale for $13 and I thought it would be great, but it is not accurate at all!!! One minute I'm one weight and then I’ll get back on it 3 minutes later and I’ll be 10lbs heavier! Or if i get on with lots of clothes on and a heavy bag I’ll be one weight and then when I take it all off and try the scale again I’ll either be the same weight or even heavier!!! This scale is horrible! DON'T Buy IT! Invest In A better Scale!

Rated 1 out of 5 by mirga7 did not last long...
I bought this scale less than a year ago. It did not last. It stopped working. Overall, it was annoying to get different reading 3-5 times in a row.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DeathMetalJeff Better than most reviews would have you believe
Unlike the other reviews, I find this scale to work quite well......that is......if you're educated enough to read the instructions, which are quite simple. I notice most of the complaints are based on accuracy. I used weights to check the calibration of this scale, and it worked perfectly everytime. Quite a deal for $10.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jvcvnv Had high hopes but it didn't work
had read all the reviews and thought it would be a good choice but I got a different weight on different surfaces. Bathroom floor, kitchen floor, hardwood floor - all different weights so how am I supposed to know how much I weigh. only thing I liked is it was easy to read but I returned it and am still using the really old one we already owned

Rated 1 out of 5 by lookingback Don't Buy
I received this scale this morning and after getting on it to zero the scale as instructed I proceeded to weigh myself. I stepped on and off this scale 10 straight times and got 6 different weights. I moved the scale to another room in the house to make sure it was completely level and did the same test. This time I got 7 different readings. Don't buy this scale unless you are interested in just throwing your money in the trash. Your better off guessing your weight you'll probably be a lot closer!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by bonnienclyde This is a great scale for the price
I have been on a diet for 3 months. I weigh myself 3 times every day and this scale tells me to the tenth of a pound where I am at. It is accurate and durable and at such a great price I would recommend it to anyone.

Rated 1 out of 5 by dallas1980 Not a good Product
I bought this product around mid july this year as I was gearing up for weight loss. If I weigh myself now and again weigh after 10 mins it will show different weight. I am not sure how can one loose/gain weight in 10 mins. I am very unhappy with this. After 2 months of use it's not working at all. I hope I can go to walmart and they will take it back. It was a good deal as it was for $10.00 instead of regular price of $19.00. But i will exchange this product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by RocktheReviews DOESN"T GIVE CORRECT WEIGHT
This scale is a waste and I regret paying for it. This scale will give you three different weights every time you step on it. I stepped on it one day and it gave me 1 weight, I stepped back on it just to make sure it was correct , and it gve me another weight, I stepped on it two days later again to check the accuracy and it gave me a another weight.It's just tacky! and IS NOT ACCURATE! WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT IF YOUR REALLY TRYING RECORD CORRECT WEIGH-IN'S!

I originally bought this inexpensive scale so I could pack it in my luggage when I travel. It's actually been more consistant and accurate than my more expensive scales I use at home. I couldn't believe I only paid $10.00. Definitely a good bang for the buck!

Rated 5 out of 5 by emach07 Great Scale - Great Price!
This is a great bargain. Very simple and digital, lightweight yet durable, and easy on the eyes. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is not dead on. It seems like I can loose up to almost 2 pounds and the scale won't detect it like my analog scale will. I was freaking out over this and then after loosing about 3 pounds the thing finally kicked in and read the weight accurately showing the 3 pound weight loss. Weird.......... Some days it will show a 1 pound weight loss but on my analog scale I weigh even less so I wonder about it's accuracy. I had a much more expensive scale before this one but it died on me. I could take my clothes off and it would show at least a 1 to 2 pound weight loss or even 1.6, 1.9, etc. depending on what I was wearing. This one seems to need about 2 pounds (perhaps a little less) before it will show a difference in weight or at least the one I purchased does. If you are not worried about every little pound you can't beat this scale for the price but if you are working your butt of doing cardio and experimenting with foods trying to determine what foods and exercises are doing what, you may want a more accurate to the decimal point scale or you might get a little discouraged with this one.

the scale was inexpensive and works great! it's says it uses a lithium battery, i was wondering what that meant. it just means is uses a button cell battery.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bellinghamster Good scale for the price.
After weighing myself at the gym and then at home, this scale was within 2/10th of a pound. good enough for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bluedahlia13 Great scale for the price
It's light weight, extremely accurate, and doesn't feel flimsy when you handle it. It has a permanent lithium battery in it which, if you have ever tried to fiddle with one of the old ones with the 9V batteries, is a pain in the butt to deal with and tend to corrode if kept in a humid area. The scale is good sized, the display is nice sized and spaced so you can see well, and for those who aren't small, the maximum weight is extremely good.

Rated 4 out of 5 by temnb If you're looking for a simple, accurate digital scale at an affordable price, then this is a great choice. It gets the job done, plain and simple. My husband goes to the gym often, which has the standard medical scale with a weight balance, so he tells me comparatively, it's pretty accurate.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JESSIFRENCH works
I just need a simple scale, nothing fancy and this one works for me most of the time. Sometimes the weight it gives me is wrong so I step on it quickly, disregard the whatever it says on the screen and then weight myself again. In the back of the scale it gives you this instructions.
Don't know much about the durability since i got it only last month. Hope it lasts

Rated 1 out of 5 by tomwaits87 Weight readouts are not consistent. I've had it show a variance of up to 20 lbs when stepping on it twice in a row. If you reset it by putting weight on and immediately taking it off you can usually get one or two accurate readings and then it will be off again. Considering returning it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MsCJB Didn't work for me
I bought this because I wanted to be able to weigh my cats with some accuracy. However, the combined weight of cat and me varies too much to be useful, as much as a pound in a single session. In addition, the battery connection seems to be intermittent-- sometimes the scale will not work at all. The price was very good, but I will most likely return it to the store.
