[Electronics-Talk] Bathroom scale

Also where you stand on the platform, whether or not you are leaning or straight, whether or not you move etc., all can impact the outcome. So, also make sure you are using the scale consistently, and not moving.

Before you trash your talking scale, and buy a new one, try replacing the battery.

Subject: [Electronics-Talk] Bathroom scale

I have a talking bathroom scale I got at Amazon.  It looks like a flat piece of glass with feet.

This morning, I weighed myself, and the answer didn't sound right, so I did it again to see if I got something similar.  I weighed myself 5 times before I got 2 similar numbers, and the range was about 10 pounds between 1 minute and the next.  So this scale is pretty much useless.

Can anyone recommend a talking scale that's reasonably accurate?

Thanks.

Tracy
