Does this scale auto calibrate itself? thanks

Yes, as most scales automatically do. Just make sure it's on a flat surface.

I think it does, I just went to the doctor and weighed the same on this scale as on the doctors scale.

I did not know for sure myself, so I contacted the manufacturer. They got back to me within a day by the way, very fast. I was told that these particular scales have no need to be recalibrated. They were very concerned why I was asking and asked if I was having problems with it. I told them no just wanted to know how to recalibrate it. If I was having problems with it they were quickly going to replace it. I was impressed, seem to be a good company that is wanting to make sure their customers are happy.

Yes, and it calibrates very well. Just the instructions. It's German made, so exacting

When I purchased this scale it was already pre-calibrated. I just used it right away and have never had a problem with it being inaccurate!

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.

You do have to calibrate it and it's not easy to do. Mine finally calibrated and then broke after it fell due to the poor monting .

Mine arrived perfectly ready to go. No calibration needed. Great scale. Works perfectly for my needs and looks sleek and modern.

There is no initial calibration needed and I don't find anything regarding instructions on how to calibrate it should there be the need to in the future. I am assuming that since it works as most digital scales do, measuring changes in electrical resistance distributed to load cells, calibration is performed at the factory and would need to be performed by the factory in the future if there was a need to do so. I have had other digital scales which operated the same way and lasted for many years. It measures the same as a mechanical scale I have so I believe it is accurate from the factory. The only way to tell for sure is to locate a standard and periodically check to ensure it is calibrated against that standard.

It's accurate to a tenth of a pound. It does weigh consistantly, so if you step off and weigh yourself again there isn't a difference, unlike cheaper scales.

Mine did. http://myweigh.com/view-all/ agrees that it still does. Great scale - someone liked it so much that it disappeared when I was moving.

There's no way. It's supposed to be auto calibrated. Mine was always off by 20 to 30 pounds. Never the same amount, though. Worst scale ever.

it does within the limits of it's units. Very good scale. Make sure you put it on a solid surface. Mine has been a life saver for 1 year.

No it does not. As soon as you remove the box or whatever you're weighing the scale resets back to 0.

When you want to weigh, you put a foot on the scale and then remove it. The scale then autocalibrates itself and when it flashes "0.00" you step back on and weigh.Note that if you want to weigh again after that (or if someone else wants to weigh), you have to step off and the scale will clear its display in a few seconds (3-5 I think). Then you do the recalibrate + weigh procedure all over again.

No it does not. Saw no reference to calibration, just 1 yr limited warranty.

Not that I know of. I was able to return this scale. It's the worst one 've ever owned. It wasn't accurate at all after a couple of months.

I wish I could sincerely answer your question. This device has not been the best so far. Constant calibration and off results. I would suggest investing a little bit more money on a better scale.
