A good home scale

I have a Taylor digital home scale that adds or subtracts a few pounds at random within minutes.  I want to get a decent accurate home scale.  I don't need BMI, etc., just pounds.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Brian

I got my scale at Costco.  It is a Weight Watchers brand.  It wasn't very expensive, and it seems to work fine.  I can get on and off several times, and it always reads the same (the most important thing to me is reproducibility).  The other month I weighed myself at home right before I went to the doctor and it came up the same-ish number, close enough for government work.

my scales seem to add or subtract a up to five kg depending on on the exact position of my feet on the scale !!! its so confusing

yeah.. i have that same scale.. is it white??  i hate it.. it caculates the weight so fast

I have that one too! My parents have a simple Weight Watchers one, as well. It has a save/recall function but that's the only extra feature. I think it was about $30.

I ordered a Tanita scale online for $79 plus free shipping.  It is fairly accurate, but as with all home scales I have ever used, if I weigh 4 or 5 times in succession to test the readings, I can sometimes get it to read something like 170.4---170.2---170.4---170.4--170.2.  However, twice I have checked my weight up at the HS on the official wrestler's scale, and found that it agreed with my Tanita.  There are four "panels" on the scale so that if a person "rocks" a bit, he/she can get the reading to change slightly.  All in all, I like it the best of any scale we have ever owned.  I had to throw away a one-year old Weight Watchers scale because the digital read-out was garbled.

I use to have a cheap Taylor scale. I upgraded to a nice Tanita scale (maybe $75-$100, I don't remember). The cheap Taylor scale would sometime have wide varying readings (like 200 lbs at 9:00am, and 202 lbs at 9:05am, 199 at 9:10am, etc) which always bugged me. The Tanita scale only varies by 0.2 like pilgrimdude says. I get readings like 200.0, 200.2, 200.0, 200.0 etc which I think is fantastic. I also try to stick to weighing myself same time of day and reviewing the trend versus the actual number. 

If you have a Wii get the balance board with wii fit. You can get accurate readings and have a workout game to boot.

I too have the Weight Watchers scale.  It's very well made and always gives the same reading.  Very accurate.
