what is the accuracy of this scale?

We wondered the same thing. It is pretty accurate. When we received it, we measured a one pound bag of flour and it was spot on. It actually measures to a tenth of an ounce.

Great! Very happy with this item! I use it for weighting baby Foster kittens under 1lb

It's accurate enough for such a low priced scale. You can adjust it to make sure the needle is pointed to 0 lb, then when you get on it it will show you weight 50 lb.

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).

I had that scale for a few weeks only. It never worked properly, I tried on different surfaces around the apartment. It would show different numbers every time I weighed myself and it went dead in about a month. It's not reliable, so you can't really trust what the scale shows.

The one that I received was very inaccurate and never consistent. I would not recommend this scale.

I find the scale to be accurate. Hard to say if it is accurate to the oz level. It usually matches my good scale at home. I travel with the portable scale to help maintain my weight on long business trips

Hi Jack, The wife and I have found this scale to be extremely accurate... usually within a 10th of a pound... and it's been very consistent. We've had it about a year. If you're doing a weight loss program, especially if there is more than one weighing in, the tracking feature is really nice. You can see were you were during the last weigh-in and then compare to the present... very handy. After several lousy scales this is the only one that I would recommend

We have been using the scale 4 months, we have not calibrated it. We used it right out of the box, just make sure to use, on a level flat surface.

Hello.......It is a very nice scale, however, the minimum scale is .2 lb........Example: .2 - .4 - .6 - .8 - 1lb - 1.2 etc. etc. Hope that helps! Neil

Honestly, you will want a scale that will measure to the .001, and a scale such as this would be doing you a disservice for that amount of accuracy. I would check in to a higher end scale, not a pocket scale like this one.

Just to be clear, tho the scale CAN be accurate to hundreths of a Pound . . . It will not read out in pound hundreths DIRECTLY if that is what you want. To get that accuracy, you have to read the weight in Ounce or Grams units.

Not sure, but let me tell you about my experience with this Chinese junk. We bought this thinking it was a solid scale like you'd see in a doctor's office. However, it failed within a year. The dial doesn't move much and is not accurate (by over 30lbs). Simply broke. And I only weigh 176lbs.

Based upon the weight of my dog on the scale compared to the scale at the vet's office, I'd say they are accurate to within a quarter pound. More importantly, they are incredibly consistent. Since purchasing them, I have periodically (initially every week or so; now maybe once every month or two) tested them by placing the same pair of 30 pound iron dumbbells on them. Maybe 2 or 3 times, they have read 58.4, otherwise, they are always 58.6. Note: I believe that the pair of dumbbells are less than 60 pounds. I have checked them on other bathroom scales, and they have always weighed less than 60 pounds on those scales too. Regardless, consistency is far more important than the accuracy in bathroom scales. After all, the purpose of bathroom scales is to monitor the change in one's body weight over time, not for commercial purposes, such as weighing copper ore. IMO these are the best bathroom scales that I have ever used.

I can't say if it is that exact, for that you may need to invest in a higher grade scale; but for weighing food, it fits the bill!

No, and also I have found that when comparing it with other scales I and my friends have, it seems to give a lower percentage reading then the others, on this one measurement. In fact its number is about half of what the others report.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the scale you mention. All I do know is that this one works wonderfully and my daughter liked mine so well I had to get her one so she wouldn't keep borrowing mine.

In my opinion I would return the scale to get your money back and spend it on another scale. This brand/model is not worth the time or money. It has to many glitches to even be useful and could detour your motivation if the reading is off to far (as was the case with mine - the 3rd one that is after returning the first 2!). Best of luck.
