I got this scale in June. The weight value continues to creep up even when the scale is on a flat hard surface and completely undisturbed. Help?

I often leave my scale powered on until it turns itself off, and the weight (even measuring in grams) remains zero. A couple of ideas: 1. does your unit turn itself off after a minute or so? If not, that's probably a sign it is bad and should be replaced (for free IMO), 2. have you reset the tare by pressing the power button (not enough to turn it off) and seen the weight continue to increase? Again, just my opinion, but it sounds like MIRA should replace your unit for free, though I'm unsure how long you've had it, so that will factor in. Good luck.

I haven't had mine as long, but haven't experienced that problem. Have you contacted the mfg?

Not sure what you are describing. To weigh something with a container.. I put the empty container on the scale TAP once on the left side "button" and it zeros out. Then add the ingredient amount needed to the container by weight. If you need to add a second ingredient by weight tap once again.. it will zero out.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

From my experience, it doesn't matter how many times you move the scale. You will always get the same result. It's been an excellent scale!

I have no way to verify accuracy since I don't have nist traceable standard weights. Precision seems OK. I have noticed that the scale sometimes doesn't want to zero. I'll turn it on and it moves away from zero (I have seen it go higher and lower). When it does this the zero may wander as much as 10 lbs. Eventually the scale stabilizes. I have not contacted the mfg. I find this annoying but am willing to live with it since it rarely happens.

I have had this scale for two months and love it. Today it gives me an error message of 0-Ld and the weight swings wildly. Put in a new battery but it doesn't help!!! Can it be fixed?

Yes, the weight changes when I move it. I also have uneven linoleum on certain parts of my floor though. My replacement scale has been fairly accurate on level ground. Weight only fluctuates up or down by no more than a quarter pound. So... My replacement scale is semi-accurate on a hard even surface. I can live with very small weight variations.

What do you mean by broken; could it be dead batteries, and were you weighing people on a hard surface as the instructions specify?If the batteries are new, but you had the scale on carpeting, while weighing, the readings will be wrong and you will damage the scale'sinternal mechanisms. It's a pity because my scale works great after several years. I never read the warranty, but another says 1 year.

Nope. I've not had any issues with this scales on moving it. I have two little ones so it gets moved around plenty. It also seems to work the same regardless of where I put it. Hope that helps!

Well put it on a sturdy flat surface. wobbly surfaces can cause subtle movement in the material being weighed, especially the surface plate. Once it is still it should settle to zero if it doesn't, then hit the tare action and that will re zero the scale. The directions should tell you on how to operate the tare function.

I have two of these scales and love them both. Have not had a problem. You have a defective product and should request a new one.

The only time I had this trouble was when I forgot & placed the scale on my rug. When I saw the inconsistent reading I remembered to place it on a hard surface. Then it worked fine. My Fiancé also use it & it is right on the money. If it keeps being like this, I would call the company & send it back. Sounds like you covered all the major areas so I feel that would be your next move.

I had the same problem myself with all scales - I got a piece of wood that is just a bit bigger and I put the wood on my floor and then put the scale on top of it - sounds like a pain in the neck - but it works!

My scale has worked flawlessly. Make sure there is no stress (e.g., pulling to one side) on the power plug that goes into the scale. Also make sure that the plug is fully seated.

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

Did you test it using a new pair of fresh batteries? Maybe the installed ones are not good (even if they came as new with the scale). Hope this helps

I don't know how to fix the problem, but mine consistently ready 4-5% high. I put a 20 lb weight on it and it reads 20.8 or 21.0 pounds. I put two weights on it and it always reads 41.6 lbs. I want to put something heavier on there to see if the problem is linear, but haven't done so.
