Does anyone know where there are bathroom scales (digital or large easy to read analog) that are accurate to 0.1 kg?
I've tried out a few now, that claimed to be accurate to 0.1 kg, and been disappointed.
$19 model from an eBay seller (actual post sales service was good). They claimed accuracy to 0.1 kg, but I could pick up to almost 0.5 kg before the scale displayed a different weight.
Propert $19 model (available at Coles, Big W and Kmart). Claimed accurate to 0.1 kg but I could pick up to 0.3 kg before the scale displayed a different weight.
Homemaker $29 model from Kmart. I've picked up weights to around 0.35 kg and still no change in what it thinks my weight is.
Perma $26 Lifestyle Basics model from Big W. After many readings of my weight alone, it fluctuates across a 600 gram range :S generally adding 100 or 200 grams is not detected. Adding more weight is sometimes detected with a 0.3 kg increase, but sometimes it believes I've lost 0.3 kg … :S
Weight Watchers basic unit by ConAir $37? from Big W. Ack! It comes with a 30 second memory. But when I waited out the memory, I found readings would fluctuate across a 400 gram range :S Which makes me wonder if people on the Weight Watchers diet programs bought this scale and I wonder if they know there can be so much variance in the readings :S
I actually have a Homamaker one which I purchased at least 4 years ago. It is still in perfect working order and has been my most accurate one to date. It usually picks up 0.1kg (sometimes it doesn't, no idea why), but anything above that it definitely does. Very impressed since I didn't spend much on it.
