meggiep 57 Posted April 21, 2011 My scale has gone wonky after an unfortunate accident so I need to buy another one. Any recommendations? Aside from those tre expensive health o meter doctors scales...or the amazing one at my doctors office that looks like a treadmill... I don't have a ton o' bucks. Being as it is about to become the center of my universe ;-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klus263 9 Posted April 21, 2011 Walmart. I think we spent $24.99 on it. It keeps track of 2 people and goes in .2 increments. I am one that usually weighs twice a day (I know-I should only weigh once a week). Just a basic model. I did wish that it light up for the numbers but I can live with it.

Mariah 0 Posted April 21, 2011 I got mine on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Digital-Bathroom-Technology/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=zg_bs_hpc_28 Right now it's on sale for $28.95 (normally $49.99 but who knows how accurate that price is) plus you'll get free shipping. I've had mine for about 1.5yrs and it is super accurate. I had gone through three scales in a couple of years prior to purchasing this one. I like the blue-lit display and the numbers are easy to read, but it's accurate which is what matters most to me Good luck with your scale search! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My husband accidentally tipped our almost new scale up on its edge and it crashed down. Today it was three pounds OVER my doctor (when does that ever happen!)- but last week it was two. I don't want to always be adding or subtracting to know how it compares. It is super wacky for me to be wanting a scale- I did not weight myself for ten years before this!

sychadelic 10 Posted April 21, 2011 I upgraded before surgery to the fancy H.O.M scales, but beforehand I had the $25 set from Walmart and they worked very well. I just didn't like that other people could access my user account by just tapping once or twice on the scale (4 neices who love to play with scales everytime they visit) so decided to upgrade to more "private" type of account access, but if you have no worries on that - they're great!

meggiep 57 Posted April 21, 2011 I just found a Good Housekeeping comparison that rated scales , and of course accuracy was a big part. http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-testing/reviews-tests/appliances-electronics/best-bathroom-scales I am pleased to have this info! I was not wanting to have to pay for Consumer Reports info... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chilo1 62 Posted April 21, 2011 Mine broke and I haven't had scales for at least 6 months, the best thing I could've done was not buying new ones, so I don't stress too much over stalls! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
