Default Bathroom Scale Recommendations

I'm looking at buying a digital (not the dial kind) bathroom scale and would like recommendations from others. Is there a scale that you absolutely love because it's accurate, easy to read, etc? Is there a scale that wouldn't be worth it even if you got it for free (fluctuates each time you step on it, hard to read, etc)?

Please include brand and model number (if you have it). Thanks!

Funny....too funny...

You can have mine! Free shipping! Although my DH said he wants it to help weigh things in his office aka: the garage. But just incase you're really wanting to buy a scale for future reference.....I bought a Weight Watcher's digital scale after using my sister's while on vacation at her house and then came home and used my mom's the same week. The number was the same...not a great number, but it was the same. So, my point? It works.

I like the dial one though...you can adjust it to your mood

I do not know the name brand or model number BUT... This one talks to me and tells me how much I weigh. It sounds annoying, but it is quite motivating! Good luck in your quest!

i really like my health o meter weight tracking scale... i don't think the one i have is still available, but newer models of the same brand/type are available now. it's accurate and reliable (i've tested it several times by re-weighing right away and it's always exactly the same weight). i like the memory feature too.

I just bought a health o meter too. Other than the fact that I weighed more than I did at my last doctor's appointment (probably real weight gain), I have weighed myself over and over again and it seems pretty accurate. The only thing you have to watch for is making sure it is on a flat surface.

Kristine...I'm glad you asked this, because I'm in the market for a better scale too! My analog one is going to Goodwill!!
