Has anyone experienced the scale showing false weight gain/inaccuracy after a couple of months of use?

Yes I have been on herbalife for about 3 months now and when I started I was 202lbs and now I'm 170 but my scale is 10lbs + off compared to the scale that my coach uses an it stays I'm 188 and have been for about 3 weeks an it's incorrect. I do know there is a dial if you have to set to zero every now and then but it still is incorrect

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 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!

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.

I recommend you move the scale out of the bathroom, to a location it doesn't have to be moved daily. It very clearly states you should avoid moving it, or you will need to calibrate it frequently. Also, it becomes less accurate with frequent movement. Can it go in your bedroom?

Mine does the same...intermittently. I don't know why. I have ascertained that it is NOT BROKEN. Just stuck. I keep tapping my foot lightly in the center of the scale until it shows 3 zeros. 00.0 Then I am able to weigh myself and get a proper reading. I weigh myself twice to be certain. Good luck. It is moody but, A great scale in general.

I've never tried it, but have you checked with the USPS to see if they have any calibration weights on site? I'm sure their scales, like all scales, have to be calibrated regularly. You could take it to them and see what they say. I live in a rural area and the local branch is never very busy, so I'm sure they would help me. A busier location may not be as helpful.

I have only just bought my scales Esther so cannot help but I suggest you write to the company you bought it from for their advice! That is what I would do:)

Yes I believe so. But honesty the scale isn't as easy as it claims to be! I had to keep reseting the scale everytime I used it. Plus the App doesn't sinc up well until the 2nd or 3rd time. Either way.. Good luck!

The scale is usually consistent if you keep the scale in the same spot and weigh yourself each day at the same time. Unfortunately, after a few weeks of use the scale was off by about 7 pounds. Even after putting it to zero, it was still saying I was 7 pounds less than I was. My doctor's digital scale agreed with my other digital scale. Not a good thing .

I have not had this problem with this scale, check batteries and I would ask if you are sure you are on the lb and ounce measurement setting not grams, etc. Also if it had any water poured on it accidentally I had to replace previous scale after I spilled liquid on it.

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer. I have only had the scale for 3 or 4 months and have not needed to reset it yet. If I can find my instruction book, I will look in there and will try to find the answer for you.

Hi Natalie, I have purchased 11 of these scales between Amazon and Costco for commercial use, I have had one that has done the same thing. It is a defective scale, return it.

Nope. I didn't when I first used the scale, but ultimately got one and was very happy with it. Good luck!

It's accurate, but it must be calibrated before EVERY USE, EVERY TIME the loading tray is moved, and EVERY TIME the scale itself is moved or the milligram readings will be off by a couple of mg, which can be detrimental if used to weigh medication or any consumable substance.

I have no idea, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer or googling the words, "is a digital scale affected altitude" I can tell you its very accurate. Thats why I went on a diet and just lost 10 pounds! My old scale weighed me almost 5 pounds lighter than I was.. so if it is affected, it would still be accurate and it would be relevant to each time you weigh. Good luck!!

Dino: I just weighed the UL20a on my digital scale. It came out as 3.4 pounds. Given that there is a possibility that the scale is not 100 percent precise, I'd say the manufacturer's quoted weight listing (3.3 pounds) is accurate. Diplomacy and collegiality among Amazon customers dictates that I not comment on your age or physical capabilities.:-) Mitch

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
