Best scales

[Kristin84 1]

So my old scale no longer works. I was wondering if one is better than another? I was looking at the Aria, but no matter what scale I looked into there are mixed reviews. So was hoping maybe someone has a suggestion.

I found the Beurer Model BF66 to be a good scale. I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond. I like it for the following reasons.

It is accurate to 0.2 pound increments.

It is repeatable. Using my old scale, I would step on it and get a reading. And then a few seconds later I would step on it again and get an entirely different reading. Sometimes this was as much as 5 pounds different. So repeatability is a must.

It has a lit LED reading that has large numbers. This was important because I generally remove my glasses before I weigh myself. I am almost blind without them. So I want to see the reading without them. On my old scale, there was a small reading. I would step down and bend over to read the weight, just when the scale cycled off.

[I use the scale as follows. I tap the scale with my toe. This turns it on. I wait until the scale reads 0.0 pounds before I step on it. I step on it and count to myself from 1 to 13 and then step off. I observe the reading. When the batteries are near the end of life, the scale can give a bad reading. This can happen after a year or two of daily use. So I will sometimes test the scale for repeatability and if I get two very different numbers, I check the batteries and if they are bad, replace them.]

Always accurate, even on my uneven floors. Cheap, and easy.

I want a Withings but realistically it is a waste or money

I had the Aria and hated the fact that the readings were never accurate or the same. Right before surgery I decided to stop using it and got a Taylor scale for $16 or so and love it. I want an Ozeri that has both analog and digital readings but I don't really need a new scale so it would be a waste of money to get one. If you're going to invest in a pricey one I'd stay away from Aria and go with Withings. The one thing I had about my Taylor scale is that it measures in .2 increments and I like scales that measure in .1 increments but that's not major and it has been accurate since I got it. I got mine at Target.

I looked at the Withing scale but it's even more than the Aria which is on sale at Best Buy. I am going to check out the Beurer and Taylor. Thank you all so much. My old one was a 5 ib difference within an hr. Then it just died.

I got a Kinzi scale on Amazon - it's pretty accurate. It gives the same readout as my doc's office within .1 pounds. It doesn't change readings if I step back on 10 minutes later. It doesn't give me a different reading if I stand on a different part of the scale.
