[Electronics-Talk] Talking Body Weight Scale?

[Jessica Diaz]

Hi Amanda,

I also bought a glass one from Amazon and it honestly just did not
seem to get the weight accurate at all. I could stand on it one minute
and it tell me one thing then try it again and it be 5 lb up or down.
Also I found it to be narrow as far as placing my feet properly. So, I
am glad you posted as I am looking also for a new one.
