it's says fatty boom ba….
working as intended?
quad numbers…
@ilove: Here we go - just need to get a platform fabbed.
Includes an app so should be easy to keep track of your weight.
What is OP weighing?
Ingrediants for a cake?
It doesn't need to be 100% accurate. As long as it's 'consistent', you can use it to work out if you're losing or gaining weight.
After trying various brands, we found a Salter digital to be very accurate and consistent, it also has a rechargeable battery.
What you have to realise is that your weight does vary during the course of the day.
After a night's sleep, your weight will be less than when you went to bed due to the energy used to repair/maintain tissue while sleeping.You cannot increase weight, unless you eat/drink something, because you cannot just gain mass from somewhere.
kitchen sscale for the third leg…..
I like my friend's scale, says I weigh 6kg less than any of the scales in my house.
You want somone to guide you onto your bathroom scales?
no. I need to find a scale…
Calibrate them…
Use a known weight.
ie. neck up should register zero.
is that for me or just you?
I dare not post about such complex issues.
What did I do to get all this hate?
FTFY
Think of it like scales.
Comments merely balance out the OP.
So cute 🥰 ❄️❄️❄️ in October.
- lack of specifics
- lack of research prior to posting
- same thing across many posts
- some may also dislike the spelling/grammar
I think mine are Soehnle?

I regularly attend Drs and they are within 1-2kgs, bearing in mind Drs are used regularly and are old school mechanical. Home - naked, Drs - not
Also, remember to place same spot, weigh same time and dont weigh daily
Home - naked, Drs - not
We must have different doctors.
Please share a price guide. There are plenty of good Eufy models at JB
Most scales are accurate. If it's showing wrong numbers, it's most likely your uneven floor
Accurate scales on Amazon.au
Salter 145 BKDR Mechanical Doctor's Scales Analogue Fitness Scales
Salter also have a number of other accurate scales
Honestly, pretty much anything should be fine - even if the scale isn't accurate it will help with monitoring trends.
Bluetooth looks to require a bit of faffing around. Wifi may be a better choice of you want to record weight.
I have wifi scales(thanks Ozbargain 🙄) which uploads data and assigns to a user based on weight which is probably easier and requires less messing around with an app.
If using a smart scale, you may want to consider privacy implications.
wii fit!
loved the reactions when u gained weight, or your partner did lol
Mine says 82.8, is that accurate?
I think the last number should be where the first number is and vice versa.
Hope this helps.
Any will do - accuracy is not typically that important, consistency is. They all tend to be reasonably consistent.
Avoid smart scales.
Smart man
Oh Boy 🤷♂️
why's that?
I came here to check whether some scales are less accurate than others. Is that what you're suggesting?
I’ve always wondered what is the point of scales.
You know if you’re overweight, and you know if you’re healthy and living your best life. A scale won’t tell you anything you don’t know.
2 or 3 kg here or there isn’t going to make much difference.
For accuracy, I use my mum’s dog. He licks my foot, then eats some dried biscuits. The number of biscuits he eats x 10 is my weight in kg.
How do you know it's not accurate.what are you comparing it to.always weigh on a hard floor first thing on the morning after your ablutions.
I have two scales. looking for another one for another person.
I find this true for various brands. Position the scale so that the 4 foot are on the same piece of tile. If the tiles are uneven it will give you inaccurate result.
You can test this by shifting your weight to any one corner then check the numbers.Checking your weight regularly is as important as taking measurements of your heartbeat rate. If you have a sudden drop or increase in weight then your body could be telling you something.
Beurer scales from Bunnings are good and reasonably priced.
Fast readout time, big clear numbers, repeatable measurements and within 0.1kg of the readings that they were getting in the hospital, when I crossed checked in the space of about 2 hours.
Merged from Reliable Sturdy Working Bathroom Scales
Anyone found a decent working reliable sturdy bathroom scales just for measuring body weight.
For some reason I seem to keep buying duds.
lol, how do you buy a dud bathroom scale? Got any models to name and shame?
Smart/dumb scales? budget?
Not the best thread, but another OP was after accurate bathroom scales
I think I am just looking for if anyone has purchased a fairly cheap budget one recently and it has been working for more than a year with no issues or problems.
I remember buying either a cheap kmart or big w one was either $15 or $29 and it was very weird with finding a flat surface to work on and accurately measure my body weight.
That's all.
Just want someone's anecdote or recommendation on a cheap one that still works after 1-2 years still.
fairly cheap budget one
If you want quality, you generally have to pay.
If you're on the heavier side, get something with plenty of headroom.
I have a heavier family member, and bought a 250KG unit about 10 years ago for ~$80 delivered, and still going strong.
Our family has weight watchers brand ones that were given to us by someone who had a heap of them through work. They are still going after about 10years and seem to be accurate compared to doctors office. They are digital with a glass top. They only do weight not body composition.
Got a link and rough price
I’ve had Fitbit Aria scales for about 7yrs, got them at a car boot sale for $30. Amazon is about $89 atm. Well worth it, you don’t need a Fitbit to go with them. Just the app. The scales connect by wifi and record your history. Can register two different people or a guest. Batteries last more than a year - 4AAs. They seem to be accurate. I also trained a cat to stand on them with all four paws and that was very accurate.
If you can’t be bothered training your cat then stand on the scales sans cat, then stand on the scales with cat, then calculate the difference.
But the training was more fun than a squirming unhappy cat!
@bbinc: My cat doesn’t squirm for short periods. If the training was fun then more power to you and the cat.
I use this Renpho rechargeable Bluetooth scale.
https://www.amazon.com.au/RENPHO-Bluetooth-Rechargeable-Bath…I've had it for 3 years now with no issue, so I have 3 years of weight stats on my phone. It's currently discounted $33 from Amazon (Black Friday sales)
Thanks all I ended up ordering this one.
It being USB rechargeable is a huge selling point for me.
Let us hope the battery in this is good though and won't die within a year.
I would love to go mechanical but I prefer reading the digital displays when it comes to weights and stats.
I have a feeling my other "bluetooth digital" scale I purchased years ago is hiding somewhere in the house or maybe someone stole it either way hopefully this does the job for the next 10 years fingers crossed.
OP: for some reason I seem to keep buying duds.
Scale: it's not me it's you.
We were all thinking it :)
The “sturdy” made me laugh.
Buy a mechanical one at the op shop, last forever
.
Just because the scale says your fat, doesn't mean its not accurate
