Does anyone find this scale shows a different weight depending on where you place it on the ground?

Dear Charlotte: I bought 3 of these beauties...Not only do they give you different weights depending on where you place them, put in the exact same place and I got three different weights! Here's the bottom line, take these scales and add them to the pile of junk you're planning on converting into a boat anchor! Some lucky soul via Goodwill Industries now own the three I took there for at least a small tax deduction as a charitable donation. Go to Bed, Bath and Beyond and purchase your scales and you'll be pleased or at least you'll have the ability to return the purchase if you're not happy with it. Hope this helps!

Yes I've noticed that, my house is a bit tilted due to the foundation. Being fairly cheap it doesn't have an internal level so it displays weight based up the downward force with the decline. A flat level ground will give an accurate reading.

yes it does. It works best on a hard floor like tile or hard wood. It is not that accurate on the carpet.

As with most scales they work better on a solid surface...level wood/tile floor...and if your in a habit if moving it sometimes it will register weight differently. If it has to be on a carpet I would put a a piece of wood/hard plastic under it such as a cutting board or maybe 3/8, 1/2 inch piece of board . so if you put the scale under the bed lets say and pull it out the weight it going to be off..

To be honest with you I don't recall.. I can't imagine that it does not, but I was not satisfied w/the results in pounds (when compared to other scales I had) so I returned it for lack of accuracy.The lack of accuracy would have reflected both in pounds and kilograms so the issue was moot to me.I highly recommend that you read all reviews before deciding to buy this product!

No I do not believe so. When you step on it the weight doesnt change (and I purposely moved the scale to see if I stood on it different or if I moved it around with my feet-) seemed to stay the same with no change.

No, but I simply put large packages on it and wait 5 seconds, short count, then the weight locks in for a bit. Remove the package and you can see the weight. I absolutely recommend this scale!

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.

I'm not sure about the correct way to stand on the scale. I think I stood on it barefooted, with my heels on the back of the scale and my toes hanging off the front. I do know that each time I stood on it, I stood with my feet in the same position - and still got different readings. As I recall, the readings were 2-3 pounds different each time. If you haven't had the scale more than 30 days, I would return it - it's just too inaccurate. Hope this helps.

I believe it takes a measurement everytime it is used, you can see the number fluctuate if you are moving or holding on to something. It seems very consistent I have weighed free weights just to test it out and it has been correct everytime.

I think your scale is broken. When I step on mine the zeros pop up then it goes to my weight.

Not that I am aware of, but very importantly the scale must be on a hard floor - not a carpet or even vinyl tile otherwise it will display lower weight.

Sounds like you have a faulty scale...I suggest returning it for replacement. This has never happened with mine.

I'd have to research a response on the Withings web site. Another person has responded to your inquiry, and the answer seems plausible. Withings finally responded to my comments about the accuracy of the scale and it's inability to distinguish between users. If users weights are less than 10 pounds apart, each will have to stand on either the left or right leg to tell the scale which person is on the scales. I reaffirm my opinion that this is just something assembled so the company has something to sell rather than meeting a consumer need with a well engineered and serviceable appliance.

This happens to me every once in a while. I just tap the scale itself so it has to recalculate the weight. I go with what it first comes up with. Also make sure your scale is out of the way of direct airflow. I have had that cause problems for me before too.

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!

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 not, the scale will give you the wrong weight, it has to be on hard floors. Awesome scale, always gives me the right weight.

Yes! I love it! It can sometimes be off if you move it around so, just be consistent, you can't get a better scale for the price!

Hello Pavan. I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your product. Perhaps there is a reason for the fluctuation. Have you placed the scale on a steady surface, free of movement and/or vibration? For further assistance, you can contact me directly via email [esty@measupro.com] or telephone [855-797-2253].
