My husband is a little shaky. He gets an error message most of the time on our current digital scale. Do you think this scale would be better?

I giggled around and still got a good reading. When I giggled continuously the readings kept changing slightly, but when I stopped for just a second, I got a reading. No error message at all and even the the changing readings were close.

I think this scale would definitely be better. I have tested this and have moved and bounced and even my dogs have stepped on it while I'm on it and the scale is still accurate. The nice part about it is that the recorded weight will continue to display until after your husband steps off the scale so if he is unsteady or shaky, he'll still manage to read the scale after stepping off. This is honestly the best scale I have ever purchased.

Hi JulieI think if when you weigh yourself it doesn't look right. I would return the scale. Which is what I didI have a scale called thinner which I bought 10 years ago from Bed Bath Beyond.It gives accurate weight as well as fat content

I have experienced the same problem and finally had to have the scale replaced. I have had a replacement scale two weeks not experienced a problem So far.Respectfully,DR. Stephen

Seems to be very accurate and consistent. It measures in the tenths of a pound, though, and will take a few seconds to "settle" on a number, very sensitive to any movement while standing on it. We use it at our TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) meetings, and so far have not had anyone "blame the scale".. :)

I confirm using an old style, non digital Sphygmomanometer. That said, an exact comparison can never be made unless measurement made simultaneously - which isn't done. Even a reading with the Omron will differ when taken moments later. Consequently, accuracy is is considered OK when readings are consistently in the same range.

The scale is self-calibrating (simply step on ,off and on again). It needs to be on a level hard floor (not carpeted). It is more accurate and consistent than several previous scales that we owned (both digital and analog). If it not as described, the unit might be defective. You can talk to customers' service which is supposed to be excellent per other veviewers.

On mine, I can put the weight on and then tap the on/off//tare function on the left. The scale beeps and resets to zero after a slight lag. During that lag, the scale looks like it isn't responding, then it resets.

I have had my scale for a year. I really like it and have not had any issues. My husband weighs around 320 lbs. and it is the only scale we have had that actually seems to weigh him acurately time and time again. I have not used all the other programs for several months, however when I was I was happy with those too.

My husband uses it moe frequently than I do and it seems to wait for him to settle. We use the talking mode. Basically we tap with one foot, the voice prompts "ok, ready " then there is time to step on slowly, a wait time of a few more seconds to settle, then a voice reading of current weight, and once off she says "good-bye"... I think it would be an excellent scale for someone slowed by age.

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.

It seems very accurate, weighs up to 350 lbs (not sure if that's enough) and the hand held readout makes it easier than a floor scale. As a patient it would not be off-putting for the nurse to ask me to step on one of these, so I would say yes. It also weighs in decimals of a pound, not just full pounds. I've had it nearly a couple years and it hasn't needed a new battery yet and I have had no problems of any kind as of yet.

The one I got didn't work. When I was chopping up veg's, and adding them bit by bit to the bowl sitting on the scale, it turned off in the middle of it, even though there was only a few seconds delay between adding things to the bowl. Then I tried pressing buttons and I wasn't able to get the weight back. It came back as 0. So I returned that scale and bought another of the same model, and it did the same thing.

As far as I can tell, very accurate and consistent. The scale is very sensitive to minor changes such as removing a watch.I weigh on a very regular basis and compare the weight I get on my scale to the digital scale at one doctor's office as well as another office with manual scales. (I always take notice if the scale is balanced at o before I weigh on the manual scale.). For those of us who are weight conscious this scale is a godsend.

I don't know the answer to your question, and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with this product. But one of the reasons I choose to purchase this scale was because the other feedback talked about how responsive the manufacturer is to any issues customers have had. Have you contacted them? I would hope they would resolve this with you and replace the scale. Whatever they do, I hope you post their response on the reviews for this product. Good luck!

I received my scale with no problems, I even dropped the display and it still works! (I finally decided to hang it on the wall so I would not keep dropping it) But I don't see where I had to wet my feet and it still works fine with dry feet... I have another Fat Analyzer scale and they are within .01% of each other, so I think they are pretty accurate. Maybe you got a lemon one... mine only takes a few seconds.

Hello, I am not thrilled with this scale. It does measure quick. It send the values to the PC via a USB cable, the software you are using has to be able to read the scale. My problem is that the scale seems to "drift" just from sitting and becomes inaccurate. Dymo has sent me 2 replacements already and they all do the same thing.

Mine does the same...intermittently. I don't know why. I have ascertained that it is NOT BROKEN. Just stuck. I keep tapping my foot lightly in the center of the scale until it shows 3 zeros. 00.0 Then I am able to weigh myself and get a proper reading. I weigh myself twice to be certain. Good luck. It is moody but, A great scale in general.
