This scale is only a month old and, like the other reviewers have said, it’s readings are all over the place. I have gained/lost 3-5 lbs in 10 minutes according to this thing. I even tested it by getting on with a 5 lb dumbell after weighing myself regularly, expecting to see a 5 lb increase, as the dumbell should register. No!! I no longer have my box, but I really want a refund on this product!!

I bought this scale from a local store after seeing it on sale for a to-good-to-be-true price. Unfortunately, I didn’t see J. Motta’s review before purchasing. If I step on and off the scale (after initializing it as the instructions explain) several times in the span of a minute, I get the same reading. However, if I wait a few minutes and try again, I can magically lose 3, 5, even 10 pounds from the last reading. Keep in mind the scale hasn’t been touched or moved, is on a smooth, level, floor, and it doesn’t matter if I re-initialize or not. How can I track my weight loss if this thing can’t agree with itself in the span of an hour, let alone a day? The body fat/BIA features don’t stand a chance, since the calculations require the useless weight reading. I’m returning it for a refund.

The floor is level and I stand on the thing the exact same way every time, and yet according to this scale, I’ll gain or loose several pounds over the course of a few minutes.
After owning it for several months it’s now taken up the hobby of giving an Err0 code 80% of the time that I get on it. I get off, reset it according to the instructions, get back on and… Err0 again. Changed out the batteries…. no change in pathetic operation.
This is my second Taylor scale and, I assure you, my absolute last. I’m pretty sure that it’ll work much better as a Frisbee than it does as a scale.
