I've tried the scale several times (in a row) in different rooms of the house and I get a different reading EVERY TIME! Why?

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.

All four supports on the machine must be on a flat surface, that's what I guess making error in reading.

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).

You have to recalibrated it. That should work. And try to put it in one place when you weigh yourself dont keep moving it to different places. I always take my scale in the bathroom and no where else, and I haven't had any problems since I purchased it. I had it for about 3 months Are you being careful how you handle it ? If not that could be the problem. And remember it has to be on a flat surface. You cannot weigh yourself on carpet or any surface that's not flat.

It shouldn't jump that erratic, clime & decrease in increments, seal it in a clear plastic bag an watch it to see if your readings steady & level off ? Might get your answer

It sounds like the scale needs to calibrate itself. when you first got it, did you step onto the scale to activate it and then off to get it to weigh 0 pounds? If not, you could try that.

Um... I'm not sure really. It could be the battery or maybe the surface the scale is on. I have mine on a wood floor and it reads out consistent and accurate weight reedings.

Mine is new and giving repetitive, precise (accurate -- hoping?) readings so my experience would not help.

It does show the previous result in green; but apparently it also rounds off readings to previously-measured values rather than admitting small variations. To test this I weighed myself, then weighed myself with a cup of water, then weighted myself with half a cup of water over and over. Rather than giving a result somewhere between the first two measurements it would always give one or other of the first measurements. Then I weighed my wife, and then I weighed myself with half a cup of water again, and I got a different result.

The same happened to me! I returned it directly to the manufacture if you're still on time to return it DO IT!! and buy a different scale! Hope my advice helps you! GL

I thought I like the scale but it is seeming to be inaccurate. I step on in the morning same time get one number. I try a few minutes later different number..third try is really ridiculous

as much as I love the idea of the scale - I would recommend STAY AWAY. The readings fluctuate and it gives a negative reading!!!!???? forwhat I weigh on it

I don't know the answer to your question, and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with this product. But one of the reasons I choose to purchase this scale was because the other feedback talked about how responsive the manufacturer is to any issues customers have had. Have you contacted them? I would hope they would resolve this with you and replace the scale. Whatever they do, I hope you post their response on the reviews for this product. Good luck!

I encountered the same problems while weighing my supplements and nootropics. I just try to keep pressing on every few seconds. If that doesn't work, I click the button that changes the unit of measure until it goes back to grams again. I also try to weigh my stuff quickly as the scale does tend to turn off after a while even while weighing something. As for the stuff sticking to the scale, I don't know. Maybe I need to get small wax paper?

All I can tell you is that I'm very disappointed in this scale. Did everything they said, and like you moved from one location to another on hardwood floor and got readings all over the place. Very unhappy with this purchase!

The directions said not to but to give you an accurate assessment, I just weighed myself in the bathroom where it is usually kept and it gave me accurate readings. Then I placed it on my somewhat flat carpet and the first time it said I weighed 14 lbs. It wouldn't even give me the other readings. I placed it back in the bathroom, stepped on it and then placed it back on the carpet and it wouldn't even come on the second time. So I guess my answer would confirm that it would only give accurate readings on flat surfaces where the weigh can't be distributed under the scale to give a false reading. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear. However, I love it and love the features of it. It was well worth the money spent. I also purchased their food scale and love it. Now I want to cook just to weight my food. I am not disappointed by either one and enjoy the nice dcor it adds to my bathroom and kitchen.

I have experienced the same problem and finally had to have the scale replaced. I have had a replacement scale two weeks not experienced a problem So far.Respectfully,DR. Stephen

The main problem I have had with the scale is it won't stay on zero. I'm always having to adjust it back to zero so I have no idea how accurate the weight is. I have lost some weight, I can tell by the way my clothes fit and just looking at myself and the scale shows I have lost weight. I do not think the exact weight is accurate. I did a lot of research on scales because I was going to buy a new scale after purchasing this scale but all scales seem to have a lot of issues. I always weigh more when I go to the doctor and am weighed on a doctors scale. lolI wanted something equilvant to a doctors scale but don't think I want to pay that high price. Still thinking sbout what to buy next. The main problem I have had with the scale is it won't stay on zero. I'm always having to adjust it back to zero so I have no idea how accurate the weight is.

I have no idea how to adjust it but, honestly, I never assume that doctor's scales are correct. Any scale I've ever had at home has been different than when I go to the doctor.
